What is the difference between flow rate and fluid velocity? How are they related?
Gasoline is piped underground from refineries to major users. The flow rate is 3.00102m3/s (about 500 gal/min), viscosity of gasoline is 3.00102m3/s , and its density is 680 kg/m3. (a) What minimum diameter must be pipe have if the Reynolds number is to be less 2000? (b) What pressure difference must be along each kilometer of be pipe to maintain flow rate?
Verigy that the SI of hpg is N/m2.
A sump pump (used to drain water from be basement of houses built below the water table) is draining a flooded basement at rate of 0.750 L/S, with an output pressure of 3.00105N/m2 . (a) The water enters a hose with a 3.00-cm inside diameter and rises 2.50 m above the pump. What is its pressure at this point? (b) The hose goes over the foundation wall, losing 0.500 m in height and widens to 4.00 cm in diameter. What is the pressure now? You may neglect frictional losses both parts of the problem.
A glucose solution being administered with an IV has a flow rate of 4.00 cm3/min. What will the new flow rate be if the glucose is replaced by whole blood having the same density but a viscosity 2.50 times that of glucose? All other factors remain constant.
Archimedes' principle can be used to calculate the density of a fluid as well as that of a solid. Suppose a chunk of iron with a mass of 390.0 g in air is found to have an apparent mass of 350.5 g when completely submerged in an unknown liquid. (a) What mass of fluid does the iron displace? (b) What is the volume of iron, using its density as given Table 14.1? (c) Calculate the fluid's density and identify it.
A straightforward method of finding the density of an object is to measure its mass and then measure its volume by submerging it in a graduated cylinder. What is the density of a 240-g rock 89.0 cm3 of water? (Note that the accuracy and practical applications of this technique are more limited than a variety of others that are based on Archimedes' principle.)
A large tanker truck can carry 20 tons (40.000 lb) of liquid (a) What volume of water can it carry? (b) What volume of gasoline can it carry?
(a) Using Bernoulli's equation, show that be measured fluid speed v for a pitot tube, like the one in figure 14.32(b), is given by v=( 2gh)1/h , where h is be height of be manometer fluid, p' is the density of the manometer fluid, p is the density of the moving fluid, and g is be acceleration due to gravity. (Note that v is indeed proportional to the square root of h, as stated in text) (b) Calculate v for moving air if a mercury manometer's h is 0.200 m. Figure 14.32 Measurement of fluid speed on Bernoulli’s principle. (a) A manometer is connected to two tubes close together and small enough not to disturb the flow. Tube 1 is open at the end facing the flow. A dead spot having zero speed is created there. Tube 2 has an opening on the side, so the fluid has a speed v across; thus, pressure there drops. The difference in pressure at the manometer is 12v22 , so h is proportional to . 12v22 (b) This type of velocity measuring device is a Prandtl tube, also known as a pitot tube.
What must be the contact area between a suction cup (completely evacuated) and a ceiling if the cup is to support the weight of an 80.0-kg student?
What is the pressure drop due to the Bernoulli Effect as water goes into a 3.00-cm-diameter nozzle from a 9.00-cm-diameter fire hose while carrying a flow of 40.0 L/s? (b) To what maximum above be nozzle can this water rise? (The actual height will be significantly smaller due to air resistance.)
