Given: Water flows through a vertical contraction (venturi) section. Piezometers are attached to the upstream pipe and minimum area section as shown. The mean velocity in the pipe is V = 5 ft/s. the difference in elevation between the two water levels in the piezometers is Az = 6 in. the water temp is 68°F. A V Az Find: What is the velocity (ft/s) at the minimum area?
