A small capillary with an inside diameter of 2.22 x 10-3m and a length 0.317m is being used to continuously measure the flow rate of a liquid having a density of 875 kg/m3 and viscosity of 1.13 x 103 Pa-s. The pressure drop reading across the capillary during flow is 0.0655m water (Density is 996 kg/m3). What is the flowrate in cu.fps?
The primary function of the venturi meter is to measure flow rate. Show that the venturi meter in the figure below does not necessarily require the venturi meter's inclination to measure flow rate.
8. A large artery in a person's body can be approximated by a
tube of diameter 9 mm and length 0.35 m. Also assume that blood
has a viscosity of approximately 4 x 10-3 N s/m2, a specific grav-
ity of 1.0, and that the pressure at the beginning of the artery is equiv-
alent to 120 mm Hg. If the flow were steady (it is not) with V =
0.2 m/s, determine the pressure at the end of the artery if it is ori-
ented (a) vertically up (flow up) or (b) horizontal.
