Chapter 14, Problem 14.50P

Review. Old Faithful Geyser in Yellowstone National Park erupts at approximately one-hour intervals, and the height of the water column reaches 40.0 m (Fig. P14.25). (a) Model the rising stream as a series of separate droplets. Analyze the free-fall motion of one of the droplets to determine the speed at which the water leaves the ground. (b) What If? Model the rising stream as an ideal fluid in streamline flow. Use Bernoulli’s equation to determine the speed of the water as it leaves ground level. (c) How does the answer from part (a) compare with the answer from part (b)? (d) What is the pressure (above atmospheric) in the heated underground chamber if its depth is 175 m? Assume the chamber is large compared with the geyser’s vent.

(a)

Expert Solution
Check Mark
To determine

The speed at which the water leaves the ground when it is modeled as separate droplets.

Answer to Problem 14.50P

The speed at which the water leaves the ground when it is modeled as separate droplets is 28m/s.

Explanation of Solution

The height of the water column is 40.0m.

For the free fall, the equation of motion for upward flight is,

    vf2=vi22gh

Here, vf is the speed of water at the top of the column, vi is the speed of water leaving the ground, g is the acceleration due to gravity and h is the height of the water column.

Substitute 0m/s for vf, 9.8m/s2 for g and 40.0m for h to find vi.

    0=vi22×9.8m/s2×40.0mvi=784m2/s2=28m/s    

Conclusion:

Therefore, the speed at which the water leaves the ground when it is modeled as separate droplets is 28m/s.

(b)

Expert Solution
Check Mark
To determine

The speed of water as it leaves the ground using Bernoulli’s equation.

Answer to Problem 14.50P

The speed of water as it leaves the ground using Bernoulli’s equation is 28.0m/s.

Explanation of Solution

Apply Bernoulli’s equation at the ground level and at the top of the column.

    P0+12ρv12+ρgy1=P0+12ρv22+ρgy212ρv12+ρgy1=12ρv22+ρgy212(v12v22)=g(y2y1)v12v22=2g(y2y1)

Here, P0 is the atmospheric pressure, ρ is the density of water, v1 is the speed of water leaving the ground, v2 is the speed of water at the top of the column, h1 is the height of the bottom of the column from the ground and h2 is the height of the top of the column from the ground.

Substitute 0m/s for v2, 9.8m/s2 for g, 0m for y1 and 40.0m for y2 to find v1.

    v120=2×9.8m/s2(40.0m0m)v1=784m2/s2=28.0m/s

Conclusion:

Therefore, the speed of water as it leaves the ground using Bernoulli’s equation is 28.0m/s.

(c)

Expert Solution
Check Mark
To determine

The answer obtained in part (a) with the answer obtained in part (b).

Answer to Problem 14.50P

Both the models are consistence with each other as the speed of water leaving the ground is same in both models.

Explanation of Solution

Along a streamline for an ideal fluid, the sum of the pressure, kinetic energy per unit volume and the potential energy per unit volume is same at all the points.

The speed of the water leaving the ground obtained in both part (a) as well as in part (b) is 28m/s.

This shows that the both the models are consistence with each other.

Conclusion:

Therefore, both the models are consistence with each other as the speed of water leaving the ground is same in both models.

(d)

Expert Solution
Check Mark
To determine

The pressure in the heated underground chamber.

Answer to Problem 14.50P

The pressure in the heated underground chamber is 2.11MPa.

Explanation of Solution

Apply the Bernoulli’s equation between the chamber and the geyser vent.

    P0+12ρv12+ρgy1=P+12ρv32+ρgy3

Here, P is the pressure in the heated underground chamber, v3 is the speed of water in the heated underground chamber and y3 is the depth of the heated underground chamber.

Substitute 0m for y1 and 0m/s for v3 in the above equation.

    P0+12ρv12+ρg(0)=P+12ρ(0)+ρgy3PP0=12ρ(v122gy3)

Substitute 1000kg/m3, 28m/s for v1, 9.8m/s2 for g and 175m for y3 in the above equation.

    PP0=12(1000kg/m3){(28m/s)22×9.8m/s2×(175m)}=12(1000kg/m3)×4214m2/s2=2.11×106Pa×106MPa1Pa=2.11MPa

Conclusion:

Therefore, the pressure in the heated underground chamber is 2.11MPa.
