Question 04 C. A venturi meter is used to measure the flow speed of a fluid in a pipe. The meter is connected between two sections of the pipe (Figure 4.1; the cross-sectional area A of the entrance and exit of the meter matches the pipe's cross-sectional area. Between the entrance and exit, the fluid flows from the pipe with speed V and then through a narrow "throat" of cross-sectional area a with speed v. A manometer connects the wider portion of the meter to the narrower portion. The change in the fluid's speed is accompanied by a change Ap in the fluid's pressure, which causes a height difference h of the liquid in the two 4 arms of the manometer. (Here Ap means pressure in the throat minus pressure in the pipe.) (25 Marks) a.

A hydraulic piston has two surfaces which can move when a force is applied to them. On the left side, the piston surface is circular with a cross-sectional radius of 10 cm and on the right side it is square with a side of length 30 cm. A. If I push on the left side with 100 N of force, what total force will be exerted by the fluid in the piston on the right side? B. If I displace the piston on the left side by 18 cm, how far will the right surface move?

A large diameter closed top tank is filled with a depth of 3 meters of a fluid (density 1200 kg/m3). A small pipe leading from the bottom of the tank must carry the fluid some height above the fluid level in the tank. a) If a pressure of 2.5 Atmospheres is maintained in the space above the fill line in the tank how high above the fill line can the pipe carry the fluid and still provide an exit speed of 2 m/sec for the fluid out of the pipe? (the pressure at the exhaust end of the pipe is 1 atmosphere or about 1 x 105 pascal) If the pipe diameter is 2 cm, what will be the volume rate of flow (m3 /sec)

A tank holds a large amount of water. A pipe is connected to the tank at the upper end and is open to the air at the lower end (see figure).The upper end of the pipe has a diameter of 17.0 cm. The lower end of the pipe has a diameter of 8.60 cm. The speed of the water at the upper end is 2.00 m/s.What is the flow rate of the water in the pipe?
A liquid-filled tube called a manometer can be used to measure the pressure inside a container by comparing it to the atmospheric pressure and measuring the height of the liquid. Such a device (filled with water) is shown in the figure, measuring the pressure inside a balloon filled with an unknown gas. The water level on the side of the manometer which is open to the air is 12.2 cm higher than on the side connected to the balloon. a. Find the gauge pressure in the balloon, in units of Pa. Recall the density of water is 1000 kg/m3. b. Find the absolute pressure in the balloon, in units of Pa.
