it drains into ambient pressure water. The same pressure water from which the stream began with a pump

Yes they are, but I don't know how to solve for pressure absolute or gauge given flow rate. I can find only the the pressure differential which is a negative value. I need to know the gauge pressure. i.e. How high will the pressure push the water in the vertical tubes.

Dear https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/fluid-dynamics-bernoulli.902341/members/buffu.606620/ , I'm not sure what adversity you feel you are protecting the forum from, but I worked on this problem all work day. I must be missing something stupid and simple, but I can't find it and I hope...

Can someone smarter than I, please express p1 and p2 in terms of f, or v and r? The pump pushes out water at f rate which creates velocity v in the bigger pipe. When the water comes to the restriction velocity increases while flow rate is conserved. Bernouli tells us that the change in...
