Question: 3 . . When a pipe flow suddenly expands from A 1 to A 2 , low - speed low - friction eddies appear in

3.. When a pipe flow suddenly expands from A1 to A2, low-speed low-friction eddies appear in the corner and the flow gradually expands to A2 downstream. (a) Find the downstream pressure p2 as function of upstream pressure, velocity and the area ratio of the contraction. Neglect wall friction. (b) Repeat the problem for the case when the corner annular ring has an average pressure p1+p22. What is the percentage
difference in the change p1-p2?(c) If the contraction is very gradual, what is the percentage change in p1-p2 compared to previous cases?
