If an incompressible fluid has a volume flow rate of 0.9 m3/s, what will its speed be if it passes through an opening with a cross-sectional area of 1.8 m2?
Hint: This is Week 2! Think about what the units of speed are.
A liquid of density 900Kg/m 3 flows through a horizontal pipe that has a cross-sectional area of 1.90 x 10-2 m2 in region A and a cross-sectional area of 9.50 x 10-2 m2 in region B. The pressure difference between the two regions is 7.20 x 103 Pa. What are the volumetric flow rate and themass flow rate? Where is the flow speed higher? Where is the pressure higher?
Water is flowing through a pipe of two cross sectional areas A1 and A2 lying horizontally. The pressure difference between the cross sectional areas is 0 Pa. if the velocity of water through cross sectional Area 2 is 3.25m/s2, what would be the velocity of the water through cross sectional Area 1? (hint: use Bernoulli’s equation. Remember that the pipe is horizontal meaning that height = 0m).Note: This question has been answered. Only the one below.
Using the information in question one: a) Calculate the Volume flow rate in cross sectional area 2 of the pipe if the radius of the cross section in area 2 is 2.35 m b) Calculate the Flow Rate in Area 1 if the Radius of the cross section in Area 1 is 1.25m.

How are they related?arrow_forwardFresh water flows horizontally from pipe section 1 of cross-sectional area A1 into pipe section 2 of cross-sectional area A2.

An aircraft is flying at an altitude of 31000 feet at a speed of 450 knots. What pressure difference will be produced with a pitot-static probe at this height and speed? Give your answer in kPa to 2 s.f. (Even if this question might be answered using either equations or graphs, use equations only to provide a more accurate result.) Suggested approach: Remember that the local air density at 31000 feet is less than the value at ground level, and find this value first. Use the standard atmospheric model and assume that 1 foot = 0.305m and 1 knot = 0.514 m s¹. Pressure difference: kPaarrow_forward
