I have been trying to figure out how to calculate compressible fluid flow. I have been doing some research and have worked through a derivation for isothermal compressible flow. I keep finding contradicting equations, ones which have gravity included and ones which do not.
I have attached two pictures. One is an isothermal equation from crane TP-10 which includes gravity and the other is from an article by Robert Kern which does not include gravity.
I can follow the derivation in the article up until the point where they simply change units, at this point the gravity term disappears with no mention of it. I have seen this in several different references so I doubt it is just a typo. Can anyone explain why we can neglect the gravity term?
Thanks in advance!
