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?

A pipe of 20 cm diameter is carrying water with a mean velocity of 3 m/sec. Calculate the discharge. Ifthe pipe bifurcates into two pipes of 10 cm diameter each, find the velocity in the 10 cm diameter pipeand state at what rate and why the velocity has increased or decreased as compared to that in 20 cmdiameter pipe.
Water flows over a flat surface at 4 ft/s, as shown in
Fig. 5 . A pump draws off water through a narrow slit at a vol-
ume rate of 0.1 ft/s per foot length of the slit. Assume that the fluid
is incompressible and inviscid and can be represented by the com-
bination of a uniform flow and a sink. Locate the stagnation point
on the wall (point A) and determine the equation for the stagnation
streamline. How far above the surface, H, must the fluid be so that
it does not get sucked into the slit?
