What is Kinetic Energy Factor in the Bernoulli’s equation?

(a) It is because friction varies

(b) It is because friction stays constant

(c) It is because the velocity in every layer varies and only the average velocity is accounted hence a correction factor is a need

(d) None of the mentioned

I got this question in unit test.

This interesting question is from Unit Operations topic in division Food Processing Techniques, Fluid Mechanics and Rheology of Foods of Food Engineering

Right answer is (c) It is because the velocity in every layer varies and only the average velocity is accounted hence a correction factor is a need

The best I can explain: Kinetic Energy Factor in the Bernoulli’s equation is because the velocity in every layer varies and only the average velocity is accounted hence a correction factor is a need.
