For this centrifugal pump, assume the inlet and discharge pipe are about the same size. What can you say about the change of average flow velocity between the inlet and the discharge? If the pressure at the inlet is about 40 kPa, can you apply the Bernoulli's equation for the pressure at the discharge? If so, is the pressure at the discharge larger or smaller than at the inlet? If not, explain why? [Figure from Cengel] For this centrifugal pump, assume the inlet and discharge pipe are about the same size.
