Figure shows the steady and incompressible flow of a fluid in the direction of arrow from section A to section D. Three pipe connectors are to be placed between sections at A and D having Total Energy Line (TEL) and Hydraulic Grade Line (HGL) as depicted in the figure. Consider, g, P, Q, V, γ, and Z denote gravitational acceleration, pressure, volume flow rate, velocity, specific weight, and elevation of centerline of the pipe connectors from the datum, respectively. Which one of the following options, in sequence, indicates the correct nature of connectors between sections A and B, B and C, and C and D in the direction of flow?
- A. Converging, Constant area, Diverging
- B. Diverging, Constant area, Converging
- C. Constant area, Constant area, Constant area
- D. Constant area, Converging, Diverging
Answer: A. Converging, Constant area, Diverging
