HGL and EGL at gradual contract region

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the differing shapes of the Hydraulic Grade Line (HGL) and Energy Grade Line (EGL) graphs at a gradual contraction region. Participants are questioning which of two provided graphs accurately represents the behavior of HGL and EGL, noting that one shows an increasing gradient while the other shows a decreasing gradient. There is also mention of a nozzle example that exhibits a different HGL shape than previously referenced. The conversation seeks clarity on whether the specific shapes of these graphs are critical or if the general trends of EGL dropping and velocity increasing are sufficient for correctness. Ultimately, the focus is on understanding the correct representation of fluid behavior in these scenarios.

Homework Statement


in the two notes , the shape of graph at the gradual contraction region is are different , which is correct ? the first one ? or the second one ?
in the first picture , we can see that the gradient of graph of HGL is increasing downwards , whereas in the second photo , the gradient of HGL is decreasing downwards? in the second picture , the shape of EGL at gradual contaction region is also different with the first one ? which is correct ?

anyone can comment which one is correct ?
 
i have another example here , in this example we can see that the shape of HGL at nozzle is different with the one in 176 , so which shape is correct ?.

or the shape of graph is not important here ? as long as the EGL drop and velocity increse , both graph are correct ?
 
anyone know to answer ?
