The intake in Figure has cross-sectional area of 0.74m2and water flow at 0.40ms. At the outlet, distance D=180mbelow the intake, the cross-sectional area is smaller than at the intake, and the water flows out at 9.5ms into the equipment. What is the pressure difference between inlet and outlet?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The pressure difference between inlet and outlet of the pipe is 1.7×108Pa.

Step by step solution

01

Given data 

i) The cross-sectional area of the inlet, Ai−0.74m2.

ii) The speed of the water at the inlet, v1=0.40m/s.

iii) The depth of the outlet, D=180m.

iv) The speed of the water at the outlet, v0=9.5m/s.

02

Determining the concept

By applying Bernoulli’s principle, determine the pressure difference between inlet and outlet. According to Bernoulli’s equation, as the speed of a moving fluid increases, the pressure within the fluid decreases.

The equation is as follows:

p↔12Òϲµ2h+constant

Where, pis pressure, vis velocity, his height, gis the acceleration due to gravity, his height and ÒÏis density.

Determining the pressure difference between the inlet and outlet of the pipe

The water flow should obey Bernoulli’s principle,

piv+12Òϲµhh+p1=ÒÏ0v+12Òϲµbh+2

Simplifying,

pv+21Òϲµh+pi=ÒÏ0v+12Òϲµh+0

ÒÏi∶Äp0∶Ä12Òϲµh22An02−i

role="math" localid="1657632752895" Δ±è≠1202−Òϲµ##ÒÏ0−j

Where, h0−h1=D=180mand density of waterÒÏ=1000kgm3

Thus, putting the values,

Δ±è=121000kg/m3×(0.4m/s)2−(9.5m/s)2+1000kg/m3×9.8m/s2×(180m)

role="math" localid="1657632844989" =1.7×106Pa

Hence, the pressure difference between inlet and outlet of the pipe is role="math" localid="1657632849774" 1.7×106Pa.

A partially evacuated airtight container has a tight-fitting lid of surface area77m2and negligible mass. If the force required removing the lid is 480 N and the atmospheric pressure is1.0×105Pa, what is the internal air pressure?

Figure shows two sections of an old pipe system that runs through a hill, with distances dA=dB=30mand D=110 m. On each side of the hill, the pipe radius is 2.00 cm. However, the radius of the pipe inside the hill is no longer known. To determine it, hydraulic engineers first establish that water flows through the left and right sections at 2.50 m/s. Then they release a dye in the water at point A and find that it takes 88.8 sto reach point B.

What is the average radius of the pipe within the hill?

In Figure, an open tube of length L=1.8mand cross-sectional area A= 4.6cm2cmis fixed to the top of a cylindrical barrel of diameterD=1.2mand height H=1.8m. The barrel and tube are filled with water (to the top of the tube).Calculate the ratio of the hydrostatic force on the bottom of the barrel to the gravitational force on the water contained in the barrel. Why is that ratio not equal to 1.0? (You need not consider the atmospheric pressure.)

In analyzing certain geological features, it is often appropriate to assume that the pressure at some horizontal level of compensation, deep inside Earth, is the same over a large region and is equal to the pressure due to the gravitational force on the overlying material. Thus, the pressure on the level of compensation is given by the fluid pressure formula. This model requires, for one thing, that mountains have roots of continental rock extending into the denser mantle (Figure). Consider a mountain of heightH=6.0kmkm on a continent of thickness T=32km. The continental rock has a density of2.9g/cm3 , and beneath this rock the mantle has a density of 3.3g/cm3. Calculate the depth of the root. (Hint: Set the pressure at points a and b equal; the depth y of the level of compensation will cancel out.)

Consider the venturi tube of Figure without the manometer. Let, Aequal localid="1658313222020" 5a. Suppose the pressure localid="1658313216049" p1at localid="1658313234980" Ais localid="1658313228211" 2.0atm.

(b) Compute the values of the speed localid="1658313246652" vat a that make the pressure localid="1658313253283" p2at an equal to zero.

(c) Compute the corresponding volume flow rate if the diameter at A is localid="1658313260347" 5.0cm. The phenomenon that occurs at localid="1658313273085" awhen localid="1658313267168" p2 falls to nearly zero is known as cavitation. The water vaporizes into small bubbles.
