A horizontal 150mm diameter pipe gradually reduces its section to 50mm diameter, subsequently, enlarging into 150mm section. The pressure in the 150-mm pipe at a point just before entering the reducing section is 140 kPa and in the 50mm section at the end of the reducer, the pressure is 70 kPa. If 600mm of head is lost between the points where the pressures are known, compute the rate of flow of water through the pipe.

Question
A horizontal 150mm diameter pipe gradually
reduces its section to 50mm diameter,
subsequently, enlarging into 150mm section.
The pressure in the 150-mm pipe at a point
just before entering the reducing section is
140 kPa and in the 50mm section at the end
of the reducer, the pressure is 70 kPa. If
600mm of head is lost between the points
where the pressures are known, compute
the rate of flow of water through the pipe.
