whenever there is reduction in cross section area we experience increase in speed and decrease in pressure like in case of a nozzle. This can be proved by the help of Conservation of mass equation i.e. Av = cont. and bernoulli's equation which gives pressure is inversely proportional to velocity. we also have P = F/A that means decrease in area increase of pressure here it may look contradictory but the fact of matter is force is also changing with change of area of cross section, we also know that velocity is inversely proportional to area.
