Solution to Pressure Difference Problem

AI Thread Summary
The discussion addresses a pressure difference problem and presents a proposed solution, which appears to be correct. The author seeks validation of their calculations and solution approach. It is noted that the accuracy of the results may be limited to two significant figures unless the pipe area values are confirmed to four significant figures. Additionally, a suggestion is made to use psi instead of psig for measuring the pressure difference between the two sections of pipe. Overall, the focus is on ensuring the accuracy and appropriateness of the solution provided.

Hello,

Below is the problem and my solution. Everything seemed to work out correctly. Just looking for a second set of eyes to make sure.

Thanks

Seems right to me. Couple of minor comments:

Probably only accurate to 2 sig figs, unless you know the pipe area values are good to 4 figures?

Since it's a pressure difference between 2 sections of pipe, I'd use psi rather than psig units.
