An incompressible liquid with negligible viscosity and density ρ = 1.75 slug/ft3 flows steadily through a horizontal pipe. The pipe cross-section area linearly varies from 15 in.2 to 2.5 in.2 over a length of 10 feet. Develop an expression for and plot the pressure gradient and pressure versus position along the pipe, if the inlet centreline velocity is 5 ft/s and inlet pressure is 35 psi. What is the exit pressure? Hint: Use relation

Making some assumptions and using online resources to find fluid properties, Determine: a) the minimum time taken to fill a 12-oz glass (volume = 0.0125 ft3) with water if the flow in the pipe is to be laminar. Repeat the calculations if the water temperature is 140 °F. b) the maximum time taken to fill the glass if the flow is to be turbulent. Repeat the calculations if the water temperature is 140 °F.arrow_forwardQuestion : Water flows through a circular nozzle, exits into the air as a jet, and strikes a plate, as shown in the figure.

- An incompressible fluid (water) flows steadily from an open tank. The elevation of point 1 is 10.0m, and the elevation of point 2 and 3 is 2.00m. The cross-sectional area at point 2 is 0.0680 m^2, at point 3 it is 0.0360 m^2. The area of the tank is very large compared to the cross-sectional area of the pipe. Assuming that Bernoulli’s equation applies, compute: The gauge pressure at point 2.arrow_forwardWater flows through a horizontal, 180 pipe bend as shown in figures.
