Choose the correct word to complete the following statement : The average gases speed at a constriction in pipe will increases by a factor of 64 if the constriction reduces the radius by a factor of 8. Assume that the volume flow rate is the same.

Step 1
We know that the volume flow rate is the same, which means the product of the cross-sectional area and the velocity of the gas remains constant. Show more…

Steady-state flow exists in a pipe that undergoes a gradual expansion from a diameter of 6 in. to a diameter of 8 in. The density of the fluid in the pipe is constant at 60.8 lbm/ft³. If the flow velocity is 22.4 ft/sec in the 6 in. section, what is the flow velocity in the 8 in. section?

The volume of a cylinder of height 8 inches and radius r inches is given by the formula V = 8πr^2. Which is the correct expression for dV/dt? dV/dt = 8πr^2 dr/dt dV/dt = 16πr/dt dV/dt = 0 dV/dt = 16πr dr/dt dV/dt = 16πr dr/dt dh/dt Suppose that the radius is expanding at a rate of 0.6 inches per second. How fast is the volume changing when the radius is 2.8 inches? Use at least 5 decimal places in your answer. answer: cubic inches per second

Consider fully developed laminar flow in a circular pipe. If the diameter of the pipe is reduced by half while the flow rate and the pipe length are held constant, the head loss will (a) double, (b) triple, (c) quadruple, (d) increase by a factor of 8, or (e) increase by a factor of 16.
