Kinetic Energy is a very important aspect of the Mechanical Energy Equation and to any fluid moving. Movement means energy. The faster it goes, the more energy it has contained.
Energy in Movement, also known as, Kinetic Energy. May be relate with the famous equation
Ek = 1/2*m*V^2
The correction factor is used in many applications. For engineering uses, alpha is always near to 1.0 so the effect may be neglected, specially when Velocities are not so high.
