The air velocity in the duct of a heating system is to be measured by a Pitot-static probe inserted into the duct parallel to the flow. If the differential height between the water columns connected to the two outlets of the probe is 2.4 cm, determine (a) the flow velocity and (b) the pressure rise at the tip of the probe. The air temperature and pressure in the duct are 45°C and 98 kPa, respectively.

A fish tank has dimensions 38 cmcm wide by 1.0 mm long by 0.50 mm high.If the filter should process all the water in the tank once every 3.0 hh, what should the flow speed be in the 3.0-cmcm-diameter input tube for the filter?
In the chapter on fluid mechanics, Bernoulli’s equation for the flow of incompressible fluids was explained in terms of changes affecting a small volume dV of fluid. Such volumes are a fundamental idea in the study of the flow of compressible fluids such as gases as well. For the equations of hydrodynamics to apply, the mean free path must be much less than the linear size of such a volume, a ≈ dV 1/3. For air in the stratosphere at a temperature of 220 K and a pressure of 5.8 kPa, how big should a be for it to be 100 times the mean free path? Take the effective radius of air molecules to be 1.88 × 10−11 m, which is roughly correct for N2 .

At a second point, the conduit sides are 0.250m and the velocity is 2.02m/s.
