A fluid is in streamline flow across a horizontal pipe of variable area of cross section. For this which of the following statements is correct? (a) The velocity is minimum at the narrowest part of the pipe and the pressure is minimum at the widest part of the pipe (b) The velocity is maximum at the narrowest part of the pipe and pressure is maximum at the widest part of the pipe (c) Velocity and pressure both are maximum at the narrowest part of the pipe (d) Velocity and pressure both are maximum at the widest part of the pipe

Step 1
Step 1: According to Bernoulli's equation, we have the equation \(P + \frac{1}{2}\rho v^2 = \text{constant}\), where \(P\) is the pressure, \(\rho\) is the density of the fluid, and \(v\) is the velocity of the fluid. Show more…

Through a non-uniform pipe, a non-viscous liquid is flowing from section $A$ to $B$ as shown in figure. Which of following is correct? (a) Since, liquid is flowing from $A$ to $B$, therefore, pressure at $A$ is greater than at $B$ (b) Velocity at $B$, greater than that at $A$(c) Total energy per unit volume of the liquid is greater at $A$ than that at $B$ (d) Axis of pipe can be horizontal
A liquid flows through a non-unilorm pipe. The pressuro in the pipe will bo (a) higher where the cross-section is smaller (b) lower where the cross-section is smaller (c) higher where velocity of the liquid is smaller (d) the same throughout the pipe

Section B
Two tubes of different cross-sectional areas are connected together horizontally. Which of the following is a true statement about a fluid flowing through the tubes? a) The pressure of the fluid in the narrower tube is greater than that in the wider tube. b) The speed of the fluid in the narrower tube is greater than the speed of the fluid in the wider tube. c) The amount of fluid that leaves the wider tube is greater than the amount of fluid that enters the narrower tube in the same interval of time. d) The speed of the fluid in the narrower tube is less than the speed of the fluid in the wider tube. e) The amount of fluid that leaves the wider tube is less than the amount of fluid that enters the narrower tube in the same interval of time.
