Question:

A confusor is installed in a 40-cm pipe. Immediately upstream from the confusor the water pressure is 84,000 N/m2. Determine the minimum diameter of the confusor outlet that will keep the pressure head at the outlet above -8 m when the flow rate is 440 Lisee. (The -8 m of gauge pressure is the threshold for dissolved gases in the water to begin vaporizing and disrupting the flow.)
