A 150 mm horizontal waterline contracts abruptly to 75 mm diameter. A pressure gage 150 mm upstream from the contraction reads 34.5 kPa when the mean velocity in the 150 mm pipe is 1.5 m/s. What will pressure gages read 0.6 m downstream and just downstream from the contraction if the diameter of the vena contracta is 61 mm? Neglect pipe friction
Air flows through a duct at 2,700 cubic feet per minute (CFM). After several feet and a few vents, the air-flow decreases to 1,890 CFM. What is the percent drop that has occurred? (Simplify your answer completely.)
A laminar flow element measures low gas-flow rates with a bundle of capillary tubes packed inside a large outer tube. Consider oxygen flowing at 84 ft3/min in a 4-in-diameter pipe. (i) Is the flow approaching the element turbulent? (ii) If there are 1000 capillary tubes, Length L, is 4 in, select a tube diameter to keep Reynold’s number below 1500 and also to keep the tube pressure drop not greater than 0.5 lbf/in2 (iii) Do the tubes selected fit nicely within the approach pipe?
A bicycle tire is fi lled with air at an absolute pressure of169.12 kPa, and the temperature inside is 30.0 °C. Supposethe valve breaks, and the air starts to exhaust out of the tireinto the atmosphere (pa = 100 kPa absolute and Ta =20.0 °C). The valve exit is 2.00 mm in diameter and is thesmallest cross-sectional area of the entire system. Frictionallosses can be ignored here; one-dimensional isentropicflow is a reasonable assumption. (a) Find the Machnumber, velocity, and temperature at the exit plane of thevalve (initially). (b) Find the initial mass flow rate out ofthe tire. (c) Estimate the velocity at the exit plane using theincompressible Bernoulli equation. How well does thisestimate agree with the “exact” answer of part (a)? Explain.
