Question # 2
a) When is work said to be done by a system?
b) Why work is considered path function while pressure is considered a point function?
c) Explain why work is not a property of the system.
In a horizontal tube, its initial section is A1 = 800 cm2 , which reduces to A2 = 600 cm2 at the end of the tube. The mass amount is 0.1 slug/s of air (p = 1.25 kg/s). Assuming ideal fluid flow and steady state, calculate the pressure difference between A1 and A2.
Answer:p1 - p2 = 1.75 kgf/m2
