A horizontal wind tunnel tapers from an Area of 75m² to 32m². What will the flow rate of the air be if the pressure difference between the tapers is 15kPa? Assume there are no frictional losses and that the density of air is 1.2kg/m². Some of the flow is diverted from the wind tunnel into a venturi which tapers from diameter of 50mm to 25mm. Given that the head of pressure 78mm, calculate the flow rate.
