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 = 48 psia
Tap B pressure = 44 psia
When flow rate is increased to 900 gpm, the pressure at tap A increases to 62 psia.
What is the new pressure at tap B?
A. 46 psia
B. 49 psia
C. 55 psia
D. 60 psia
