It was measured that air mass flow rate is 1[kg/sec]. At some point on the tubestatic pressure was measured to be 3[MPa]. Assume that process is isentropic and neglect thevelocity at the reservoir, calculate the Mach number, velocity, and the cross-sectional area at thatpoint where the static pressure was measured.

- A 100 mm I.D. pipeline carries water flowing at a rate of 75 cubic meterper hour. A mercury manometer and a venturi meter are to be installed toprovide flow rate measurement. If the manometer is set to have amaximum reading of 1.25 m, determine the following:(a) the needed throat diameter of the venturi [mm](b) power necessary to operate the meter [kW] Density and viscosity of water is 999 kg/m3 and 1 cP.arrow_forwardIndustries involved in viscosity measurement [27, 29] continue to use the CGS system ofunits, since centimeters and grams yield convenient numbers for many fl uids. The absoluteviscosity ( μ ) unit is the poise, named after J. L. M. Poiseuille, a French physician who in1840 performed pioneering experiments on water fl ow in pipes; 1 poise =1 g/(cm-s). Thekinematic viscosity ( ν ) unit is the stokes, named after G. G. Stokes, a British physicist whoin 1845 helped develop the basic partial differential equations of fl uid momentum; 1 stokes =1 cm 2 /s. Water at 20 ° C has μ ~~ 0.01 poise and also ν ~~ 0.01 stokes.

- I'm confused about how to solve this.arrow_forwardAn oil preheater consists of a single tube of D=10 mm diameter and L=25 m length. A surface heat flux of q."-exp(-x/25) [W/m²] is applied on the tube. Chemical reactions inside the oil cause volumetric heat generation at the rate of ġ = 1000 [W/m³]. Before entering the tube, the oil has a uniform temperature of 25 °C and a flow rate of 0.025 kg/s, and its hydrodynamic boundary layer has been fully developed. (a) Determine the type of flow (laminar or turbulent) inside the tube. (b) Determine the location where the thermal boundary layer is fully developed. (c) Perform the energy analysis of the fluid, and derive the temperature equation (in terms of dTm and dx) for the oil (Do NOT need to solve it).
