3.11.1. What produces a greater head loss; a sudden contraction or a sudden expansion? Prove your answer by calculating the contraction loss for a flow rate of 106 l/s in a 20-cm diameter pipe that sud- denly reduces to 15-cm diameter pipe. Compare this with the head loss incurred when the 15-cm pipe suddenly expands to 20 cm.
