Consider oil flowing through a horizontal pipe at a rate of 3 liter/s. There are two sections of the pipe with diameters 10 cm and 7 cm and the two sections are connected by a smooth reducing section as shown in the schematic. We use a manometer with glycerin as the manometer fluid (with glycerin density of Pglycerin = 1,260 kg/m³) to measure the pressure difference between the two pipe sections. Assume that frictional effects are negligible and consider specific gravity of oil as SGoil = 0.76. What is the manometer reading, h (i.e. differential height of glycerin between the two arms of the manometer)? 10 cm TU H TILL 7 cm-

Transcribed Image Text:Consider oil flowing through a horizontal pipe at a rate of 3 liter/s. There are two sections
of the pipe with diameters 10 cm and 7 cm and the two sections are connected by a smooth
reducing section as shown in the schematic. We use a manometer with glycerin as the
manometer fluid (with glycerin density of Pglycerin 1,260 kg/m³) to measure the pressure
difference between the two pipe sections. Assume that frictional effects are negligible and
consider specific gravity of oil as SGoil = 0.76.
