A horizontal pipe has a sudden contraction from DN100 to DN80 Schedule 40 steel pipes. The water flows in the smaller pipe at 25 "C with a flowrate of 3020 L/min. The pressure in the larger section is Pi 380 kPa. a) Deternine the type of flow in the smaller and larger pipes. b) Determine the downstream pressure, P2. Calculate the percentage of error that would have occurred if downstream pressure, Pa c) caleulated using Rensoulli's equation. d) State the reason for the pressure difference between Part (b) and Part (c).
