Transcribed Image Text:Water flows through a pipe reducer shown in figure 2. The static
pressure in the large diameter pipe and the small diameter pipe are
measured by the inverted U-tube manometer containing oil of specific
gravity less than one. Determine the manometer reading, thus show that
h is given by the equation h =
ng(1-SG) la

Figure 2
The diameter of a pipe changes gradually from 75 mm at a point A, 6 m
above datum, to 150 mm at B, 3 m above datum. The pressure at A is
103 kPa and the velocity of flow is 3.6 m/s. Neglecting losses, with the
aid of a neat sketch, determine the pressure at B.
