The diameter of a pipe changes gradually from 6 inches at A to 18 inches at B. A is 15 ft lower than B. If the pressure at A is 10 lbs per square inch and at B, 7 lbs per square inch when there are 5.0 cubic ft per second flowing, determine: a. the direction of flow. b. the frictional loss between the two points B. If in Problem 1 the direction of flow is reversed, determine the pressure at A if all other factors, including the frictional loss, remain the same. C. In Problem 1, determine the diameter of pipe at B in order that the pressure at that point will also be 10 lbs per square inch, all other factors remaining constant. D.
