Question: Kerosene at 20C flows through a contraction section as shown. A pressure gage connected between the upstream pipe and throat section shows a pressure difference

Kerosene at 20°C flows through a contraction section as shown. A pressure gage connected between the upstream pipe and throat section shows a pressure difference of 25 kPa. The gasoline velocity in the throat section is 8.7 m/s. What is the velocity (m/s) in the upstream pipe?

8.7 m/s Kerosene at 20 C 25 kPa

8.7 m/s Kerosene at 20 C 25 kPa
