Question

What is the height difference of the water (density = 1000 Kg/m3), if the change in velocity is 10 m/s and change in pressure is 1000 Pa?

(a) 1.4 m

(b) 2.9 m

(c) 4.2 m

(d) 5.1 m

This question was posed to me in my homework.

Enquiry is from Mechanical Energy Balance topic in division Energy Balances that Include the Effects of Chemical Reaction, Ideal Processes, Efficiency and the Mechanical Energy Balance and Heats of Solution and Mixing of Basic Chemical Engineering

Answer 1

Correct option is (d) 5.1 m

To explain I would say: ∆h = (1000/1000 + 10^2/2)/10 = 5.05 m.
