A pitot-static tube is used to measure the velocity of air flowing through a duct. The manometer shows a difference in the head of 4.8 cm of water. If the density of air and water is 1.13 kg/m3 and 1000 kg/m3 determine the velocity of air. Assume the coefficient of the pitot tube as 0.98. Head in meters The velocity of air in m/s

Fluid Dynamics

The study of the flow of gases and liquids, usually in and around solid surfaces, is known as fluid dynamics in physics and engineering. Fluid dynamics, for example, can be used to evaluate the movement of air through an airplane wing or the surface of a vehicle. It can also be used in ship design to increase the speed at which ships pass through water.
