Question: In figure below, when a sudden contraction is introduced in a chemical safety horizontal pipe line from 50cm to 25cm, the pressure changes from 10,500kg/m2(103005N/m2)

 In figure below, when a sudden contraction is introduced in a

In figure below, when a sudden contraction is introduced in a chemical safety horizontal pipe line from 50cm to 25cm, the pressure changes from 10,500kg/m2(103005N/m2) to 6900kg/m2(67689N/m2). Calculate the rate of flow of the chemical. Assume co-efficient of contraction of jet to be 0.65. Following this if there is a sudden enlargement also noticed in a chemical safety horizontal pipe line from 25cm to 50cm and if the pressure at the 25cm section is 6900kg/m2(67689N/m2)V t is the pressure at the 50cm enlarge section?
