Question
A horizontal pipe has an abrupt expansion from D₁ = 8 cm to D₂ = 16 cm, as shown in Fig. Q1.
The water velocity in the smaller section is 10 m/s and the flow is turbulent. The pressure in
the smaller section is P₁ = 410 kPa. Taking the kinetic energy correction factor to be 1.06 at
both the inlet and the outlet, determine the downstream pressure P2.
