Chapter 5, Problem 111P
Consider a spherical tank containing compressed air. It is known from the elementary compressible theory that if a hole is opened on the tank, the compressed air will leave the tank at a mass flow rate of m=kp where k is a constant and 
is the density at any time. Assuming an initial density p and pressure P0, derive an expression for P(t).

The average velocity in a pipe flowing full of incompressible liquid is 3 m/s. after passing through a conical section that reduces streams cross sectional area to 1/4 of its previous value, what is the velocity after the conical section?
Water (modeled as an incompressible substance) flows steadily through a circular pipe oftotal length ? = 10 m. The mass flow rate through the pipe is ?̇ = 2 kg s⁄ and the watertemperature drops by 25°C as it moves through the pipe. Pressure losses within the pipeare negligible, as are any changes in potential and kinetic energy of the flowing fluid.a) Determine the rate of energy loss from the water as it moves through the pipe. Youmay treat the water as having a constant specific heat (? = 4.18 kJ kg-K⁄ ). Recall thatfor an incompressible substance Δℎ = Δ? + ?Δ?, where Δ? = ∫ ? ?? and ? is thespecific volume of the substance. Your solution should start with an energy balanceon an appropriately defined system/control volume.b) The air surrounding the pipe is at ?∞ = 25°C and the convection coefficient at theouter surface of the pipe is ℎ = 15 W m2-K⁄ . It is also known that the surfaceemissivity of the pipe is ? = 0.3 and the walls of the room where the pipe is locatedare at ?sur =…

The distance from the nozzle to the vane surface at the exit is h. The water volume flow rate is measured to be Q, the density of water is p, and the cross section area of the nozzle is A₁. Assume that the flow has reached the steady state. (1) Use the Bernoulli's equation to determine the velocity Vout at the exit of the vane.
