Problem 3. Consider a pipe containing a steadily flowing inviscid fluid. It has one inlet and branches into two arms so that there are two outlets (see Fig. 1). Flow can be considered uniform and parallel to the walls when entering and exiting the pipe Inlet Pi Outlet ρ2 A2 p, Outlet Figure 1: Flow of fluid through a "T" -junction in a pipe, shown from above (not to scale) Part A (a) The Continuity equation, as given on the...
Fluid Mechanics. Please answer as many as you can. Short answer questions 1) Explain the physical meaning of the acceleration term uVu, where u is the velocity vector in a fluid. 2) Name the two equations that are required to describe the flow of an inertial jet in an incompressible, unstratified fluid. 3) What is the “Continuum Hypothesis”? 4) Describe how a viscous boundary layer adjacent to a solid surface results in transfer of momentum to/from that surface. 5) What...
Water can be considered as a non-viscous incompressible fluid of density p. A laboratory set-up is such that water flows through a pipe, exhibiting a laminar and steady-state flow. At the top end of the pipe, the flow tube has a cross-sectional area A and point 1 (located on the central streamline) is exposed to the ambient environment. The pipe drops through a A vertical distance h7 while its area decreases to when it reaches point 2 (also on the...
Objective To determine the force generated by a jet of water striking on a surface Description of apparatus The supply is led to a vertical pipe terminating in a tapered nozzle. This produces a jet of water which impinges on the vane in the form of a Flat Plate, Hemispherical Cup, Conical Plate or 30° Angled Plate. The nozzle and vane are contained within a transparent cylinder; at the base of the cylinder there is an outlet by which the...
