Velocity head on sudden enlargement in a horizontal pipe is converted into ______________ head?
Correct answer: B. Pressure
- A. Elevation
- B. Pressure
- C. Both A. & B.
- D. Neither A. nor B.
Explanation
In a sudden enlargement, the fluid slows down and part of its velocity head is recovered as static pressure head. Since the pipe is horizontal, there is no elevation-head change.
