Fluid Mechanics: Pressure Calculation

The document summarizes the solution to a fluid mechanics problem using continuity and Bernoulli's equations. Given diameters and velocities at two points in a pipe, it calculates the pressure difference between those points. The pressure at point 2 is found to be 2928.497 Pa lower than the pressure at point 3.

D1 Dt D1
D2 = D1 × 0.5321 = 250 × 0.5321
D2 = 133.027 mm
Assuming Incompressible flow, the continuity equation -

Bernoulli’s Equation between 2 and 3 –


P2 V22 P3 V32
+ = +
ρ 2 ρ 2
(V32 − V22 ) (20.37182 − 71.952 )
P2 − P3 = ρ = 1.23
2 2
P2 − P3 = −2928.497 Pa (or N/m2 )

Hence, the proposed answer is –

P2 − P3 = −2928.497 Pa (or N/m2 )
