Textbook Question
Chapter 6, Problem 16P
A diffuser for an incompressible, inviscid fluid of density ρ = 1000 kg/m3 consists of a horizontal diverging section of pipe. At the inlet the diameter is Di = 0.25 m, and at the outlet the diameter is Do = 0.75 m. The diffuser length is L = 1 m, and the diameter increases linearly with distance x along the diffuser. Derive and plot the acceleration of a fluid particle, assuming uniform flow at each section, if the speed at the inlet is Vi = 5 m/s. Plot the pressure gradient through the diffuser, and find its maximum value. If the pressure gradient must be no greater than 25 kPa/m, how long would the diffuser have to be?

Problem 4
A .025 lb bullet C is fired at end B of the 15-lb slender bar AB. The
bar is initially at rest, and the initial velocity of the bullet is 1500 ft/s
as shown. Assuming that the bullet becomes embedded in the bar,
find (a) the angular velocity @2 of the bar immediately after impact,
and (b) the percentage loss of kinetic energy as a result of the impact.
(c) After the impact, does the bar swing up 90° and reach the
horizontal? If it does, what is its angular velocity at this point?
Answers: (a). @2=1.6 rad/s; (b). 99.6% loss
