Flow through a narrowing pipe
Change pipe areas and compare the two fluid speeds.
What to notice
Steady incompressible flow speeds up in a narrower section.
Key relation
A₁v₁ = A₂v₂
Try this
Halve the outlet area.
What you can change
- Inlet area: 2 to 10 cm²
- Outlet area: 1 to 8 cm²
- Inlet speed: 0.5 to 3 m/s
