Question

Accepted Answer

According to Bernoullis principle, for an incompressible, non-viscous fluid flowing through a horizontal pipe, the total mechanical energy pressure energy  kinetic energy  potential energy per unit volume remains constant.  In a horizontal pipe, potential energy remains constant, so the relation simplifies to   Where   P  pressure    fluid density  v  speed of fluid   This implies an inverse relationship between pressure and speed   If speed increases, pressure decreases  If speed decreases, pressure increases   Thus, the pressure is highest where the speed is lowest .

A fluid is flowing steadily through a horizontal pipe of varying cross-section. According to Bernoulli’s principle, the pressure is:
