For the system illustrated in Figure, the diameter at section 1 is 300 mm and that at section 2 is 100 mm. The flow rate through the pipe is 50 L/s, and the pressure at section 1 is 700 kPa. What is the pressure in the constriction at section 2?
FIGURE
Because the velocity and kinetic energy of the water flowing in the constricted section must increase, the potential energy must decrease (from the law of energy conservation). This is observed as a pressure drop in the constriction.
