Question

2. Air flows through the device shown in the figure. If the Flow rate is large enough, the pressure within the constriction will be low enough to draw the water up into the tube. Neglecting compressibility and viscous effects, compute the following: a) Pressure head of air at section 2 b) The flow rate in cu.m./s c) Pressure needed at section 1 to draw water into section 2 Use unit weight of water equal to 9810 N/c.m. and air to 12 N/cu.m.

Step 1

Bernoulli's equation can be written as: P1 + 1/2 * ρ * V1^2 + ρ * g * h1 = P2 + 1/2 * ρ * V2^2 + ρ * g * h2 Where: P1 and P2 are the pressures at sections 1 and 2, respectively. ρ is the density of the fluid (air in this case). V1 and V2 are the velocities of Show more…

Air flows through the device shown in the figure. If the flow rate is large enough, the pressure within the constriction will be low enough to neglect viscous effects. Compute the following: a) Pressure head of air at section 2 b) The flow rate in cubic meters per second c) Pressure needed at section 1 to draw water into section 2. Use unit weight of water equal to 9810 N/cubic meter and air to 12 N/cubic meter.
