Bernoulli's Equation: Pipe Diameter Problem

Apply Bernoulli's equation to find the velocity at a pipe constriction.

Practice Questions

Q1.Water flows through a pipe that narrows from diameter D₁ = 0.3 m to D₂ = 0.15 m. If the velocity at section 1 is 2 m/s, what is the velocity at section 2 (assume incompressible flow)?

Q2.At the constriction (section 2, V₂ = 8 m/s), the pipe is at the same elevation as section 1, and P₁ = 200 kPa. Using Bernoulli's equation, what is the pressure P₂? (ρ_water = 1000 kg/m³)
