A diffuser in a pipe flow is basically a slow expansion of the pipe diameter, which slows down the fluid velocity and increases the pressure (the Bernoulli effect). Water at room temperature flows with a flowrate of 0.025 m/s through a horizontal diffuser in which the pipe diameter increases gradually from D1 = 6 to D2 = 11 cm. The irreversible head loss through the diffuser is estimated to be 0.45 m. The flow is turbulent, and the kinetic energy correction factors at both the inlet and outlet of the diffuser are assumed to be 1.05. (a) Calculate the pressure difference P2 - P1 in units kPa.
