Answer:
The velocities in points A and B are 1.9 and 7.63 m/s respectively. The Pressure at point B is 28 Kpa.
Explanation:
Assuming the fluid to be incompressible we can apply for the continuity equation for fluids:
Where A, V and Q are the areas, velocities and volume rate respectively. For section A and B the areas are:
Using the volume rate:
Assuming no losses, the energy equation for fluids can be written as:
Here P, V, p, z and g represent the pressure, velocities, height and gravity acceleration. Considering the zero height level at point A and solving for Pb:
Knowing the manometric pressure in point A of 70kPa, the height at point B of 1.5 meters, the density of water of 1000 kg/m^3 and the velocities calculated, the pressure at B results:
