Question: Problem 2 Water ( 6 0 F ) is running through Schedule - 8 0 PVC pipe whose size changes gradually from 6 - in

Problem 2
Water (60F) is running through Schedule-80 PVC pipe whose size changes gradually from 6-in nominal at Point A (elevation: 40 ft ) to 12-in nominal at Point B (elevation: 60 ft ). The pressure at Point A is measured as 15 psi (absolute), and the pressure at Point B is measured as 10 psi (absolute). All the minor and frictional losses are negligible. No pumps or turbines are between Point A and Point B. What is the direction of the flow? What is the flow rate (in ft3s)? Use the following table as your reference.
