Question Involving Fluid Speed.

[kevinnn]

Homework Statement

Water with air bubbles in it flows through a pipe that is wide and then gets narrower. As the water gets to the narrower section will the air bubbles get larger, smaller, or not change?

Homework Equations

Bernoulli's equation. I tried to write it out but I was not sure how to do it without it looking messy and I don't have Microsoft Word on this computer.

The Attempt at a Solution

I said that they will get larger because the pressure of a fast moving fluid is less than a slower moving fluid. with this in mind the bubbles would be able to expand because the pressure acting on them is now less. Is this correct? Thanks.

Right on.
