Bernoulli's Equation Q8. A pipe 300 m long has a slope of 1 in 100 and tapers from 1 m diameter at the higher end to 0.5 m at the lower end. Quantity of water flowing is 5400 l/min. If the pressure at the higher end is 0.7 kg/cm2, find the pressure at the lower end.

Step 1
- Length of the pipe (L) = 300 m - Slope of the pipe = 1 in 100, which means for every 100 m horizontally, the vertical drop is 1 m. - Diameter at the higher end (D1) = 1 m - Diameter at the lower end (D2) = 0.5 m - Flow rate (Q) = 5400 liters/min = 5400/1000 Show more…

The water is flowing through a tapered pipe of length 100 m, having diameters 600 mm at the upper end and 300 mm at the lower end, at a rate of 50 liters/s. The pipe has a slope of 1 in 30. Find the pressure at the lower end if the pressure at the higher level is 19.62 N/cm^2.

Fresh water passes through an S-shaped pipe. At one end, the water in the pipe has a pressure of 150,000 Pascal (Pa), a speed of 5.0 m/s, and a height of 0.0 m. At the other end, the speed of the water is 10 m/s, and the height is 2.0 m. The density of water is 1000 kg/m³. Determine the pressure at the second point using Bernoulli's equation.

A horizontal pipe has an abrupt expansion from D1 = 12 cm to D2 = 15 cm. The water velocity in the smaller section is 10 m/s. The pressure in the smaller section is P1 = 300 kPa. Determine the flow type. Determine the downstream pressure P2.
