A liquid of density 1250 kg/m3 flows steadily through a pipe of varying diameter and height. At Location 1 along the pipe, the flow speed is 9.93 m/s and the pipe diameter d1 is 11.1 cm. At Location 2, the pipe diameter d2 is 16.7 cm. At Location 1, the pipe is Δy=8.89 m higher than it is at Location 2. Ignoring viscosity, calculate the difference ΔP between the fluid pressure at Location 2 and the fluid pressure at Location 1.

Answer:

The  pressure difference is  [tex]\Delta P = 1.46 *10^{5}\ Pa[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  density is  [tex]\rho = 1250 \ kg/m^3[/tex]

   The  speed at location 1  is  [tex]v_1 = 9.93 \ m/s[/tex]

    The  diameter at location 1 is  [tex]d_1 = 11.1\ cm = 0.111 \ m[/tex]

     The  diameter at location 2 is  [tex]d_1 = 16.7\ cm = 0.167 \ m[/tex]

     The  height at location 1 is  [tex]h_1 = 8.89 \ m[/tex]

       The  height at location 2  is  [tex]h_2 = 1 \ m[/tex]

Generally the cross- sectional area at location 1 is mathematically represented as

       [tex]A_1 = \pi * \frac{d^2}{4}[/tex]

=>     [tex]A_1 = 3.142 * \frac{ 0.111^2}{4}[/tex]

=>     [tex]A_1 = 0.0097 \ m^2[/tex]

Generally the cross- sectional area at location 2 is mathematically represented as

           [tex]A_2 = \pi * \frac{d_1^2}{4}[/tex]

=>     [tex]A_2= 3.142 * \frac{ 0.167^2}{4}[/tex]

=>     [tex]A_2 =0.0219 \ m^2[/tex]

From continuity formula

       [tex]v_1 * A_1 = v_2 * A_2[/tex]

=>     [tex]v_2 = \frac{A_1 * v_1}{A_2 }[/tex]

=>      [tex]v_2 = \frac{0.0097 * 9.93}{0.0219 }[/tex]

=>      [tex]v_2 = 4.398 \ m/s[/tex]

Generally according to Bernoulli's theorem

     [tex]P_1 + \rho * g * h_1 + \frac{1}{2} \rho * v_1^2 = P_2 + \rho * g * h_2 + \frac{1}{2} \rho * v_2^2[/tex]

=>   [tex]P_2 - P_1 = \frac{1}{2} \rho (v_1 ^2 - v_2^2 ) + \rho* g (h_1 - h_2)[/tex]

=> [tex]\Delta P = \frac{1}{2}* 1250* (9.93 ^2 - 4.398^2 ) + 1250* 9.8 (8.89- 1)[/tex]

=> [tex]\Delta P = 1.46 *10^{5}\ Pa[/tex]
