Bernoulli's Principle: Pressure Difference in Expanding Pipe

mathewjames · Oct 9, 2009

water flows through a horizontal pipe at a velocity of 50 ft per sec. Owing to the pipe gradually expanding to a larger size, the velocity decreases to 35 ft per sec. what is the difference between the pressures at two points, one in each size of pipe?
