The figure shows a Venturi flow characterized by a a smooth contraction of the pipe diameter D, to a throat diameter D2. The Venturi flow meter is connected to a n-tube manometer at location A where the pipe diameter is D, and to the throat of the contraction at location E where the diameter is D2. Assuming that the density of the air inside the n-tube is negligible, use your knowledge on hydrostatics, continuity and Bernoulli equation to calculate the...

Repeat Q1. for a rough-cast entrance cone and assuming a...
Question 3 (40 marks) (a) Air enters a horizontal nozzle with a velocity of 1 m/s, a pressure of 2 bar and a temperature of 350 K. At exit from nozzle, the air temperature is 450 K. The combined rate of specific heat transfers, and specific work transfers, w to the air as it passes through the nozzle is 150 kJ/kg. Assume that the air flow is steady and air can be treated as perfect gas with = 1005 J/(kg.K)....

One day Daniel Bernoulli was sitting in a Starbucks sipping on a Venti Mocha Frappuccino. He pondered some of the many applications of his newly developed principle. Grab a Starbucks of your own, and help him to answer the following questions. Assume air weighs 0.081 lb/ft3. 1. In a hurricane, roofs of structures are really lifted off, and not blown off, due to the decreased pressure as the wind blows over the roof. Determine the required wind speed to lift...
