The discussion centers on the application of Bernoulli's equation to determine pressure differences between two points, A and B, in a fluid system. The user questions the solution provided, which states (PA-PB) / ρg = hf + ZA - ZB, arguing it should be (PA-PB) / ρg = hf + ZB - ZA due to the elevation difference of 40m between points A and B. The consensus is that the author likely misrepresented the heights, as point A is indeed higher than point B, affecting the flow direction. Additionally, the relevance of the Reynolds number in determining flow characteristics is highlighted.

the question gave point A is 40m higher than B ...Chestermiller said:
since 18.27 - 40 has negative value , so the water should flow from B to A ?Chestermiller said:
They probably meant to say that B is higher than A.foo9008 said:
