A steady incompressible laminar flow passes through a $90^{\circ}$ tube bend placed on a horizontal surface. In horizontal diametric plane, two pressure taps $P_i$ and $P_o$ are provided across the cross-section at inner and outer walls of the bend, respectively. Which one of the following options is correct?

A

$P_O>P_i$

B

$P_o

C

( $P_o-P_j$ ) is directly proportional to the bend radius.

D

( $P_i-P_o$ ) is inversely proportional to the average flow velocity.

A

increases along the flow

B

decreases along the flow

C

does not change throughout the pipe

D

increases in the hydrodynamic entrance region and then decreases thereafter
