A flow nozzle is a device for measuring the flow rate in a pipe. This particular nozzle is to be used to measure low-speed air flow for which compressibility may be neglected. During operation, the pressures p1 and p2 are recorded, as well as upstream temperature, T1. Find the mass flow rate in terms of Δp = p2−p1 and T1, the gas constant for air, and device diameters D1 and D2. Assume the flow is frictionless. Will the actual flow be more or less than this predicted flow? Why?

- Your team is designing a chemical processing plant. You are the liquid handling and transportation specialist, and you need to transport a solvent (μ = 3.1 cP, ρ = 122k kg/m3) from a storage tank to a reaction vessel. Due to other equipment constraints, the fluid velocity must be 0.8 m/sec, and you must use stainless steel piping (ε = 0.00015 mm) with a total length (L) of 12 m. Determine the pipe inner diameter (ID) you will need to achieve a pressure drop of 0.3 kPa.

The Pitot tube is inserted into a 100mm diameter tube so that it points upstream into the flow and the pressure as show in figure 5 where p0 = stagnation point.
