Question

Water flows upwards through a venturi section. The venturi section varies in
diameter from 15cm at the top and bottom to 5cm at the narrowest point. A differential pressure
transducer measured a pressure difference of 43kPa. Assuming steady flow, determine the velocity of
the flow through the narrowest region and the discharge through the meter. Assume that water has a
density of 1g/cm 3 .
c) Is the fluid pressure at the bottom of the venturi section greater than, less than, or equal to the fluid
pressure at the narrowest region?
