Can I assume that the velocity is the same?

SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the application of Bernoulli's equation to calculate the height "H" in fluid dynamics. The user has determined a flow rate of Q=0.06723 m³/s and is questioning the validity of assuming equal velocities at the final part of the pipe and just outside the pipeline. The consensus is that this assumption is correct only if viscous frictional pressure loss is neglected, which is a critical factor in accurate fluid flow calculations.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Bernoulli's equation
  • Familiarity with fluid dynamics concepts
  • Knowledge of manometry and pressure measurement

The Attempt at a Solution


I have calculated that Q=0.06723 m^3 /s
If I apply Bernoulli in the surface of the tank A and in out of the pipe, I have: H =(velocity in the final part of the pipe^2)/(2g). I have assumed that the Velocity in the final part of the pipe It is the same velocity with which the water comes out. I did this because I can't know the presurre in the final part of the pipe, and out of the pipe the manometric pressure is zero.

So MY QUESTION IS: Is correct to assume that the velocities at these points (in the final part of the pipe, and just outside the pipeline are the same??

Sure, if you're neglecting the viscous frictional pressure loss.
