- Consider the piping system shown in the accompanying figure. The speed of water flowing through the 10 cm diameter section of the piping system is 1 m/s. What is the volume flow rate of water in the piping system? Express the volume flow rate in L/s. For the case of steady flow of water through the piping system, what is the speed of water in the 7.5 cm diameter section of the system?arrow_forwardA fluid (s=0.92) flows through a 97 mm diameter pipe at a velocity of 4 m/sec. Compute the Volume flow rate. (m3/s) Round your answer to 4 decimal places.arrow_forwardA room has a volume of 120 ?3. An air-conditioning system is to replace the air in this room every twenty minutes, using ducts that have a square cross section. Assuming that air can be treated as an incompressible fluid, find the length of a side of the square if the air speed within the ducts is:a) 3.0 m/s and b) 5.0 m/s.arrow_forward
- A hair dryer is basically a duct of constant diameter in which a few layers of electric resistors are placed. A small fan pulls the air in and forces it through the resistors where it is heated. If the density of air is 1.2 kg/m3 at the inlet and 1.05 kg/m3 at the exit, determine the percent increase in the velocity of air as it flows through the hair dryer. 1.05 kg/m³ Pin kg/m³ The increase in velocity is | %.arrow_forwardA hair dryer is basically a duct of constant diameter in which a few layers of electric resistors are placed. A small fan pulls the air in and forces it through the resistors where it is heated. If the density of air is 1.16 kg/m³ at the inlet and 1.05 kg/m³ at the exit, determine the percent increase in the velocity of air as it flows through the hair dryer. 1.05 kg/m³ The increase in velocity is Pin kg/m³ 9.52 %.arrow_forwardAn air-conditioning system is shown in the figure below in which air flows over tubes carrying Refrigerant 134a. Air enters with a volumetric flow rate of (AV)₁ = 150 m³/min at 32°C, 1 bar, and exits at 22°C, 0.95 bar. Refrigerant enters the tubes at 5 bar with a quality of 20% and exits at 5 bar, 20°C.
