Refer to the drawing of a frictionless venturi flow element (see figure below).
Subcooled water is flowing through the venturi with the following initial conditions:
Flow rate = 500 gpm
Tap A pressure = 40 psia
Tap B pressure = 36 psia
When flow rate is increased to 750 gpm, the pressure at tap A increases to 68 psia.
What is the new pressure at tap B?
A. 66 psia
B. 62 psia
C. 59 psia
D. 52 psia
