In narrow region, velocity of flow is more.

$v \propto \frac{1}{\text { Area }}$

As a result, pressure in narrow region is less.

As, $p+\frac{1}{2} \rho v^2=$ constant for a horizontal tube.

So, bubbles grow in size and they move fast through narrow region.

    Blood velocity: The flow of blood in a large artery of an anesthetised dog is diverted through a Venturi meter. The wider part of the meter has a crosssectional area equal to that of the artery. $A = 8\; mm^2$. The narrower part has an area $a = 4 \;mm^2$. The pressure drop in the artery is $24\; Pa$. What is the speed (in $m/s$) of the blood in the artery?

    Two large, identical water tanks, $1$ and $2$ , kept on the top of a building of height $H$, are filled with water up to height $h$ in each tank. Both the tanks contain an identical hole of small radius on their sides, close to their bottom. A pipe of the same internal radius as that of the hole is connected to tank $2$ , and the pipe ends at the ground level. When the water flows the tanks $1$ and $2$ through the holes, the times taken to empty the tanks are $t_1$ and $t_2$, respectively. If $H=\left(\frac{16}{9}\right) h$, then the ratio $t_1 / t_2$ is. . . . .
