It consists of a Venturi tube through which the fluid moves and a manometer used to measure the pressure difference between regions 1 and 2. The fluid of density tube moves from left to right in the Venturi tube. Its speed in region 1 is v1, and its speed in region 2 is v2. The necks cross-sectional area is A2, and the cross-sectional area of the rest of the tube is A1. The manometer contains a fluid of density mano. a. Do you expect the fluid to be higher on the left side or the right side of the manometer? b. The speed v2 of the fluid in the neck comes from measuring the difference between the heights (yR yL) of the fluid on the two sides of manometer. Derive an expression for v2 in terms of (yR yL), A1, A2, tube, and mano.

- Water enters a smooth, horizontal tube with a speed of 2.0 m/s and emerges out of the tube with a speed of 8.0 m/s. Each end of the tube has a different cross-sectional radius. Find the ratio of the entrance radius to the exit radius.arrow_forward(a) Using Bernoulli's equation, show that the measured fluid speed v for a pitot tube, like the one in Figure 12.7(b), is given by v=( 2gh)1/2 , where h is the height of the manometer fluid, is the density of the manometer fluid, is the density of the moving fluid, and g is the acceleration due to gravity. (Note that v is indeed proportional to the square root of h, as stated in the text.) (b) Calculate v for moving air if a mercury manometer's h is 0.200 m. Figure 12.7 Measurement of fluid speed based on Bernoulli's principle. (a) A manometer is connected to two that are 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, and so the fluid has a speed V across the opening; thus, pressure there drops. The difference in pressure at the manometer is 12v22 , and so h is proportional to 12v22 . (b) This type of velocity measuring device is a Prandtl tube, also known as a pitot tube.arrow_forwardReview. The tank in Figure P15.13 is filled with water of depth d = 2.00 m.
