Fresh water flows horizontally from pipe section 1 of cross-sectional area A1into pipe section 2 of cross-sectional area A2. Figure gives a plot of the pressure difference p2-p1versus the inverse area squared A,-2that would be expected for a volume flow rate of a certain value if the water flow were laminar under all circumstances. The scale on the vertical axis is set by ps=300kN/m2. For the conditions of the figure,

(a) what is the value of A2and

(b) what is the value of the volume flow rate?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The value A2of 0.25m2.

(b) The volume flow rate

6.12m3/s

Step by step solution

01

Given information

i) Fluid is fresh water, ÒÏ-1000kg/m3

ii) The scale on the vertical axis, ΔPs=300kN/m2=300×103N/m2

iii) The values of ΔPfrom the graph,

ΔP=0at A1-2=16m-4

ΔP=-300kN/m2=-300×103N/m2atA1-2=0m-4

ΔP=300kN/m2=300×103N/m2A1-2=32m-4

02

Understand the concept of pressure and Bernoulli’s equation

From the graph, note that the pressures are equal when the value of area square is inverse A1-2is 16m-4, and using this condition, find the value of A2. By using Bernoulli's equation, find the speed V1of the flow of fresh water through the pipe in section 1 . Finally, by using the value of V1, find the value of the volume rate flow Q. According to Bernoulli's equation, as the speed of a moving fluid increases, the pressure within the fluid decreases.

Formulae are as follows:

i) Bernoulli's equation, βV12ÒÏg2y+ constant

ii) Equation of continuity, av=AV= constant

iii) The volume rate flow Q,Q=VA

Where, Pis pressure, Vand Vare velocities, yis distance, gis an acceleration due to gravity, his height, A,aare areas, Qis the rate of flow, and ÒÏis density.

(a) Determining the value of A2

From the graph, note that, ΔP=0at A1-2=16m-4:

A12=116

A1=116

A1=14

A1-0.25m2

By applying Bernoulli's equation,

β1+12ÒÏgy2+P=1ÒÏ2V+12ÒÏg2+constant

role="math" localid="1657639855451" {P1=P2and y1=y2

12ÒÏV12=12ÒÏV22

V1=V2

By using the equation of continuity,

V1A1=V2A2

A1=A2

A2=A1

=0.25m2

Hence, the value of A2 is 0.25m2

04

(b) Determining the volume flow rate Q

From the graph,

ΔP=-300kN/m2=-300×103N/m2at A1-2=0m-4

By applying Bernoulli's equation,

ÒÏ∨412ÒÏgν2+P1=ÒÏ2/412ÒÏgyy^+2 =constant

P1+12P12=ÒÏ2/4+12 22

P2V-P1=ÒÏ21V12-1222

ΔP∶Ä12i2-22

By applying the equation of continuity,

A1-2=0m-4

V1A1=V1,A

V1=0

Putting this value in Bernoulli’s equation,

ΔβV=1222

V22=2ΔPÒÏ

V2=2ΔPÒÏ

=2×300×103Pa1000kg/m3

=24.4949m/s

BV2is speed of water,∴V2is positive

The volume rate flow Qis,

Q=V2A2

=24.4949m/s×0.25m2

=6.1237m3/s

≈6.12m3/s

Hence, the volume flow rate Q is 6.12m3/s

You inflate the front tires on your car to28psi. Later, you measure your blood pressure, obtaining a reading of 120/80 , the readings being in mmHg. In metric countries (which is to say, most of the world), these pressures are customarily reported in kilopascals(kPa). In kilopascals, (a) what is your tire pressure? And (b) what is your blood pressure?
