Question

The diameter of a pipe carrying water changes
gradually from 6 inches at a lower point to 18 inches
at a higher point by 15 ft. What will be the difference
in pressure, in psi, between these points if 6.2 cfs is
flowing considering no loss in energy.

 

please use the photo for ung format solutions and i request that the solution is encoded so that i can understand it. Please input figures. Thank you

Sample problems:
1. A liquid (sp gr 2.0) is flowing in a 50 mm diameter pipe. The total energy at a given
point is found to be 75 J/kg. The elevation of the pipe above the datum line is 3 m,
and the pressure in the pipe is 65.5 kPa. Compute the velocity of flow and the
horsepower in the stream at that point.
Given:
EGL = energy gradient line
