The thin part of the pipe has radius R, and the fluids speed in the thin part of the pipe is v0. The origin of the coordinate system is at the point where the pipe begins to widen. The pipes cross section is circular. a. Find an expression for the speed v(x) of the fluid as a function of position for x 0 b. Plot your result: v(x) versus x. FIGURE P15.48 (a) The continuity equation (Eq. 15.21) relates the cross-sectional area to the speed of the fluid traveling through the pipe. A0v0 = A(x)v(x) v(x)=A0v0A(x) The cross sectional area is the area of a circle whose radius is y(x). The widening pan of the pipe is a straight line with slope of 1 and intercept y(0) = R. y(x) = mx + b = x + R A(x) = [y(x)]2 = (x + R)2 Plug this into the formula for the velocity. Plug this into the formula for the velocity. v(x)=A0v0(x+R)2arrow_forward

- Figure P15.52 shows a Venturi meter, which may be used to measure the speed of a fluid. 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.
