SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the relationship between inlet and outlet pressure in a pipe system where water flows from a lower elevation to a higher elevation, assuming no friction loss. According to the Bernoulli equation, the pressure at the inlet does not equal the pressure at the outlet due to the elevation difference, which affects pressure readings. The principle of hydrostatic pressure (hρg) indicates that pressure increases with depth, confirming that the outlet pressure will be higher than the inlet pressure in this scenario.
