Step 1
Given power (P) = 3 mW = 3 x 10^-3 W Area (A) = πr^2 = π(0.95 x 10^-3 m)^2 = 2.83 x 10^-6 m^2 Power (P) = Energy (E) / time (t) Energy (E) = P x t Assuming the time (t) is 1 second, then E = 3 x 10^-3 W x 1 s = 3 x 10^-3 J Show more…

Air at standard conditions flows through the cylindrical drying stack shown in Fig. P3.70. If viscous effects are negligible and the inclined water-filled manometer reading is $20 \mathrm{mm}$ as indicated, determine the flowrate.
