Homework Statement


this is a pipe where the water flow from low to high. assuming no friction loss (volume rate are constant at both inlet and outlet) , is the pressure at inlet = pressure at outlet ? p/s : inlet and inlet diameter are same

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution


my question is no ... because the outlet is somehow higher than inlet . can someone explain , please?

Look up the Bernoulli equation, an energy balance that deals with this kind of thing.
my answer is no ... because the outlet is somehow higher than inlet . is my ans correct ? this is because the pressure at lower point is higher , according to hρ g
am i correct ?
