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
Flow rate increases to 1,000 gpm, which results in a tap A pressure of 68 psia.
What is the new pressure at tap B?
A. 60 psia
B. 52 psia
C. 44 psia
D. 32 psia
