Question 3 / 40:  For ideal (no frictional losses) flow of an incompressible fluid through a sudden expansion, which of the following best describes how the Bernoulli equation predicts that the pressure will change?
A  The pressure will be lower after the expansion than before.
B  The pressure will be the same before and after the expansion.
C  The pressure will be larger after the expansion than before.
D  The flow will stagnate after the expansion.
<< First < Previous Flashcard Next > Last >>
Explanation:

Since the fluid is incompressible, the fluid velocity will be slower after the expansion. Hence the pressure must rise.
