Calculating Volume Flow Rate of Olive Oil at a Processing Plant

[Ardec]

Homework Statement

At a processing plant, olive oil of density 875 kg/m3 flows in a horizontal section of hose that constricts from a diameter of 2.92 cm to a diameter of 1.20 cm. Assume steady, ideal flow. What is the volume flow rate if the change in pressure between the two sections of hose is 5.10 kPa?

Homework Equations

A1v1=A2V2

A1v1=A2V2

The Attempt at a Solution

You've quoted the continuity equation, but that doesn't tell you anything about what happens to the pressure of the fluid.

You need to find another equation which says something about the pressure of the fluid.
