Air flows past an objects and exits as a free jet as shown in the figure. Because of the obstruction, the exit velocity is non-uniform with magnitude of 4 m/s from r = 0 m to r = 0.5 m and 12 m/s fromr = 0.5 m to r = 1.0 m. Using a differential area, dA = 2rrdr, what is the value of the volumetric flow rate in m3/s? Air 4 m/s 2-m-dia. Wake 1-m dia 12 m/s Exit Answer:

Based in Chapter 1,2 and 4 Book: Viessman, W., Lewis, G., Knapp, J., Introduction to Hydrology, 4th Ed., Harper and Row 1. How would you apply the use of a Parshall flume in measuring the rate of flow in a small stream? O By estimating the volume of water passing through a specific point per unit time. O By calculating the velocity of the water flow using a velocity meter. O By measuring the width of the stream at various points. O By observing the depth (head) at the constricted throat of the flume, which produces a differential head that can be related to discharge.
