Water is pumped with a 120 kPa compressor entering the lower pipe (1) and flows upward at a speed of 1 m/s. Acceleration due to gravity is 10 m/s and water density is1000 kg/m-3. What is the water pressure on the upper pipe (II).

The water pressure on the upper pipe is 92.5 kPa.

Explanation:

Given that,

Pressure in lower pipe= 120 kPa

Speed of water in lower pipe= 1 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity = 10 m/s²

Density of water = 1000 kg/m³

Radius of lower pipe = 12 m

Radius of uppes pipe = 6 m

Height of upper pipe = 2 m

We need to calculate the velocity in upper pipe

Using continuity equation

Put the value into the formula

We need to calculate the water pressure on the upper pipe

Using bernoulli equation

Put the value into the formula

Hence, The water pressure on the upper pipe is 92.5 kPa.
