As compare to convergent portion divergent area is decrease then velocity is increased. Because divergent angle is 3 to 5 and convergent angle 20.

JITENDRA CHAUDHARY said:   9 years ago
No, pressure increase because the velocity decrease in divergent portion.

Dev said:   9 years ago
Discharge remains the same trough out Q= AV.

As the area increases for the diverging section, obviously, velocity will decrease.

Ram said:   9 years ago
Velocity increases.

Raj said:   9 years ago
You all are absolutely right.

Debasish Dutta said:   9 years ago
Velocity increases and the pressure decreases.

Subham said:   9 years ago
@Santosh is correct.

Velocity will increases.

Harsha Puwar said:   10 years ago
Its correct. Velocity decreases.

Faisal said:   10 years ago
Yes, the velocity will increase.

Santosh said:   1 decade ago
Its wrong. Velocity of the liquid in divergent cone will increase and pressure will decrease.
