Fluid Mechanics: Concept Question: From Bernoullis equation, if you have point A and point B, where point A is at a higher elevation than point B, lets say Z1 and Z2 respectively - You have a pump running the fluid from point B to point A , i.e. against gravity. I understand the following: Pressure losses, h, moves in the same direction as your flow, v, and your friction, f, moves opposite to your flow, always. So the head loss AS A RESULT OF FRICTION from Z2 to Z1, will be negative or positive? I assume negative, and the value of the aforementioned head loss will be positive in the bernoulli equation on the side of the equation involving A , as this is the direction the flow is moving towards. Hence my question: So the head loss AS A RESULT OF FRICTION from Z2 to Z1, will be negative or positive?

Concept Question:
From Bernoullis equation,
if you have point A and point B, where point A is at a higher elevation than point B, lets say Z1 and Z2 respectively -
You have a pump running the fluid from point B to point A , i.e. against gravity.
I understand the following:
Pressure losses, h, moves in the same direction as your flow, v, and your friction, f, moves opposite to your flow, always.
So the head loss AS A RESULT OF FRICTION from Z2 to Z1, will be negative or positive?
I assume negative, and the value of the aforementioned head loss will be positive in the bernoulli equation on the side of the equation involving A , as this is the direction the flow is moving towards.
Hence my question:
So the head loss AS A RESULT OF FRICTION from Z2 to Z1, will be negative or positive?
