91Ó°ÊÓ

Water at a gauge pressure of \({\bf{3}}{\bf{.8}}\;{\bf{atm}}\) at street level flows into an office building at a speed of \({\bf{0}}{\bf{.78}}\;{\bf{m/s}}\) through a pipe \({\bf{5}}{\bf{.0}}\;{\bf{cm}}\)in diameter. The pipe tapers down to \({\bf{2}}{\bf{.8}}\;{\bf{cm}}\) in diameter by the top floor, \({\bf{16}}\;{\bf{m}}\) above (Fig. 10–53), where the faucet has been left open. Calculate the flow velocity and the gauge pressure in the pipe on the top floor. Assume no branch pipes and ignore viscosity.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The flow velocity of water at the top floor is \(2.5\;{\rm{m/s}}\) and the gauge pressure on the top floor is \(2.22\;{\rm{atm}}\).

Step by step solution

01

Understanding equation of continuity and Bernoulli’s principle

The product of area and velocity of fluid in a pipe always remains constant as stated by equation of continuity.

The Bernoulli’s principle gives the information that the point where velocity of fluid is high, pressure at that point will be low.

02

Given data

The Gauge pressure of water at street level is \({P_{{\rm{street}}}} = 3.8\;{\rm{atm}} = 385035\;{\rm{Pa}}\).

The speed of water flow at street level is \({v_{{\rm{street}}}} = 0.78\;{\rm{m/s}}\).

The diameter of pipe at street level is \({D_{{\rm{street}}}} = 5.0\;{\rm{cm}}\).

The diameter of pipe at top floor is \({D_{{\rm{top}}}} = 2.8\;{\rm{cm}}\).

The height of top floor is \({y_{{\rm{top}}}} = 16\;{\rm{m}}\).

Step 3: Calculating the velocity of fluid

According to Equation of continuity, we get:

\(\begin{array}{c}{A_{{\rm{street}}}}{v_{{\rm{street}}}} = {A_{{\rm{top}}}}{v_{{\rm{top}}}}\\\pi {\left( {\frac{{{D_{{\rm{street}}}}}}{2}} \right)^2}{v_{{\rm{street}}}} = \pi {\left( {\frac{{{D_{{\rm{top}}}}}}{2}} \right)^2}{v_{{\rm{top}}}}\\{v_{{\rm{top}}}} = \left( {0.78\;{\rm{m/s}}} \right){\left( {\frac{{5.00\;{\rm{cm}}}}{{2.8\;{\rm{cm}}}}} \right)^2}\\ \approx 2.5\;{\rm{m/s}}\end{array}\)

04

Step 4: Calculating the pressure on top floor

The expression for the Bernoulli's equation is given as,

\(\begin{array}{c}{P_{{\rm{street}}}} + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_{{\rm{street}}}^2 + \rho g{y_{{\rm{street}}}} = {P_{{\rm{top}}}} + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_{{\rm{top}}}^2 + \rho g{y_{{\rm{top}}}}\\{P_{{\rm{top}}}} = {P_{{\rm{street}}}} + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_{{\rm{street}}}^2 + \rho g{y_{{\rm{street}}}} - \frac{1}{2}\rho v_{{\rm{top}}}^2 - \rho g{y_{{\rm{top}}}}\\{P_{{\rm{top}}}} = {P_{{\rm{street}}}} + \frac{1}{2}\rho \left( {v_{{\rm{street}}}^2 - v_{{\rm{top}}}^2} \right) + \rho g\left( {{y_{{\rm{street}}}} - {y_{{\rm{top}}}}} \right)\end{array}\)

Substitute the values in the above equation.

\(\begin{array}{c}{P_{{\rm{top}}}} = 385035\;{\rm{Pa}} + \frac{1}{2}\left( {1000\;{\rm{kg/}}{{\rm{m}}^3}} \right)\left( {{{\left( {{\rm{0}}{\rm{.78}}\;{\rm{m/s}}} \right)}^2} - {{\left( {2.5\;{\rm{m/s}}} \right)}^2}} \right) + \left( {1000\;{\rm{kg/}}{{\rm{m}}^3}} \right)\left( {9.{\rm{8}}\;{\rm{m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2}} \right)\left( {0\;{\rm{m}} - 16\;{\rm{m}}} \right)\\ = 385035\;{\rm{Pa}} + \left( {500\;{\rm{kg/}}{{\rm{m}}^3}} \right)\left( { - 5.64\;{{\rm{m}}^{\rm{2}}}{\rm{/}}{{\rm{s}}^2}} \right)\left( {\frac{{{\rm{1}}\;{\rm{Pa}}}}{{{\rm{1}}\;{\rm{kg/m}} \cdot {{\rm{s}}^{\rm{2}}}}}} \right) + \left( {9800\;{\rm{kg/}}{{\rm{m}}^{\rm{2}}} \cdot {{\rm{s}}^2}} \right)\left( { - 16\;{\rm{m}}} \right)\\ = 385035\;{\rm{Pa}} - 2820\;{\rm{Pa}} - 156800\;{\rm{Pa}}\\ = 225415\;{\rm{Pa}}\end{array}\)

The Pressure at top level in atm can be calculated as,

\(\begin{array}{c}{P_{{\rm{top}}}} = \left( {224515\;{\rm{Pa}}} \right)\left( {\frac{{1\;{\rm{atm}}}}{{1.01 \times {{10}^5}\;{\rm{Pa}}}}} \right)\\ = 2.2\;{\rm{atm}}\end{array}\)

Therefore, the speed of fluid at top level is \(2.5\;{\rm{m/s}}\) and the pressure of fluid at top level is \(2.2\;{\rm{atm}}\).

A viscometer consists of two concentric cylinders, \({\bf{10}}{\bf{.20}}\;{\bf{cm}}\) and \({\bf{10}}{\bf{.60}}\;{\bf{cm}}\)in diameter. A liquid fills the space between them to a depth of \({\bf{12}}{\bf{.0}}\;{\bf{cm}}\). The outer cylinder is fixed, and a torque of \({\bf{0}}{\bf{.024}}\;{\bf{m}} \cdot {\bf{N}}\) keeps the inner cylinder turning at a steady rotational speed of \({\bf{57}}\;{\bf{rev/min}}\). What is the viscosity of the liquid?

You need to siphon water from a clogged sink. The sink has an area of and is filled to a height of 4.0 cm. Your siphon tube rises 45 cm above the bottom of the sink and then descends 85 cm to a pail as shown in Fig. 10–59. The siphon tube has a diameter of 2.3 cm. (a) Assuming that the water level in the sink has almost zero velocity, use Bernoulli’s equation to estimate the water velocity when it enters the pail. (b) Estimate how long it will take to empty the sink. Ignore viscosity.

Archimedes' principle can be used to determine the specific gravity of a solid using a known liquid(Example 10–8). The reverse can be done as well. (a) Asan example, a 3.80-kg aluminum ball has an apparent mass of 2.10 kg when submerged in a particular liquid: calculate the density of the liquid. (b) Determine a formula for finding the density of a liquid using this procedure.
