An incompressible fluid is flowing through a pipe with a constriction. The pipe

Question

An incompressible fluid is flowing through a pipe with a constriction. The pipe is on an incline with an angle of 30.0 degrees. The narrow section is 10.0 m from the wide section and the narrow section is higher than the wide section. The velocity of the fluid in the wide section of the pipe is 4.00 m/s and the velocity of the fluid in the narrow section of pipe is 9.00 m/s. The pressure of the fluid in the wide section is 250 kPa. What is the pressure in the narrow section of the pipe? (density of the fluid is 1000 kg/m3)

Explanation / Answer

By bernoulli equation... we get = 250 * 10^3 / 1000 * 9.81 + 4^2 / 2*9.81 = P / 1000 * 9.81 + 9^2 / 2 * 9.81 + 10 sin 30 So, P = 168.450 kPa
