Question
Consider a constricting portion of a pipeline carrying water vertically downward as pictured. At the top (1), the diameter is 7 inches, the velocity is 10 feet per second, and the pressure is 46 psi. 40 feet below the diameter is only 3 inches. What is the pressure in psi at the point (2)?
Expert Solution
Step 1
Given:-
Diameter at point 1 (d1) = 7 inches
Velocity at point 1 (V1) = 10 ft/s
Height of point 2 above point 1 = 40'
Pressure at point 1 = 46 psi
Diameter at point 2 (d2) = 3 inch
