A non-viscous incompressible liquid is flowing through a horizontal pipe of constant cross-section.Bernoulli's equation and the equation of continuity predict that the drop in pressure along the pipe:
A)is zero
B)depends on the length of the pipe
C)depends on the fluid velocity
D)depends on the cross-sectional area of the pipe
E)depends on the height of the pipe

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bernoulli's equation for a non-viscous, incompressible fluid in a horizontal pipe with constant cross-section indicates that the pressure remains constant along the flow, as there are no height changes or changes in the flow speed due to the constant cross-section.
