Calculate the average speed of the gasoline exiting a nozzle at a gas station. Next time you go to a gas station, measure the volumetric flow rate of the gas first, and then measure the diameter of the nozzle. Use Equation (8.12) to calculate the average speed of the gasoline coming out of the nozzle. Hint: First measure the time that it takes to put so many gallons of gasoline into the gas tank!
Next time you are putting gasoline in your car, determine the volumetric flow rate of the gasoline at the pumping station. Record the time that it takes to pump a known volume of gasoline into your carβs gas tank. The flow meter at the pump will give you the volume in gallons, so all you have to do is to measure the time. Investigate the size of the storage tanks in your neighborhood gas station. Estimate how often the storage tank needs to be refilled. State your assumptions.
Most car owners drive their cars an average of 12,000 kilometers a year. Assuming a 10 km/L gas consumption rate, determine the amount of fuel consumed by 150 million car owners on the following time bases:a. average daily basisb. average weekly basisc. average monthly basisd. average yearly basise. over a period of ten yearsExpress your results in gallons and liters.
