Water leaves a pump at 200 kPa and a velocity of 12 m/s. It then enters a diffuser to increase its pressure to 250 kPa. What must be the ratio of the outlet area to the inlet area of the diffuser?

Solution: In above figure we have 1 as inlet and 2 as outlet. P.v and A denotes pressure, velocity and area withappropriate subscript for inlet and outlet.We assume that inlet and outlet are at...
