Let ∆? be the pressure difference exerted on a tube by the passage of a fluid through it. How should this value be modified if the tube diameter is reduced by 10%, and it is desired to maintain the same flow?

A Venturi tube may be used as a fluid flow meter. If the fluid flow rate in m3/s is 1.6 * 10-3 and the radius R1 = 2.4 *10-2 m of the inlet tube is 2.9 times the radius R2 of the outlet tube, and the fluid is water (ρ = 1000 kg/m3), find the pressure difference P1 - P2 in units of kPa. Enter a number with one digit behind the decimal point.
Fluid originally flows through a tube at a rate of 130 cm3/s. To illustrate the sensitivity of flow rate to various factors, calculate the new flow rate (in cm3/s) for the following changes with all other factors remaining the same as in the original conditions. (a) Pressure difference increases by a factor of 1.30. cm3/s (b) A new fluid with 3.00 times greater viscosity is substituted. cm3/s (c) The tube is replaced by one having 4.00 times the length. cm3/s...
An experimental apparatus delivers a viscous fluid through a capillary tube 10 cm long with a bore diameter of 1 mm. The tube is broken, but tubing of bore diameter 2 mm is all that is available. What should be the length of the new tube in cm so that the experiment is otherwise unchanged, i.e., so that the volume flow rate remains as before?
2. Blood with a hematocrit of 45% flows through a 10 micrometer diameter tube. Flow is directly proportional to the pressure difference across the tube and inversely proportional to the apparent viscosity of blood. Compare the actual pressure difference across the tube with the pressure difference necessary to provide the same flow if the apparent viscosity in the tube remained the same as the apparent viscosity in a very large tube. Discuss implications of the Fahraeus-Lindqvist effect on the work...
6: (a) Use the scaling laws to estimate the change of volumetric flow and pressure drop per unit length in a circular tube if the radius of the tube is reduced by a factor of 10. The pressure drop in a capillary tube is given by AP- 8uVavg.Lia. Here, L length of tube, a is the radius, g is the average speed of fluid and u is the viscosity). (b) Evaluate the resistance per unit length (R/L) for water flow...
Example You are studying pressurized flow of an aqueous solution in a cylindrical tube with pressure difference of 10 Pa between the inlet and outlet. . 1) Under steady state condition, sketch the velocity profile. 2) If the tube diameter decreases to 1/3 of the original diameter, how would the flow rate change? If the pressure difference increases to 20 Pa, how would the flow rate change? 3)

Answer 1.3 (10%) Shell and tube heat exchangers can be used for the following applications:...
How it's solved A viscous fluid is flowing through two different horizontal pipes. The pressure difference Δp between the ends of each pipe is the same. The pipes have the same radius but different length as shown. The relation between the flow rate through the pipes is B) QA-QB 2L
Chemical Engineering Fluid Mechanics 30. The purpose of a centrifugal pump is to increase the pressure of a liquid in order to move it through a piping system. The pump is driven by a motor, which must provide sufficient power to operate the pump at the desired conditions. You wish to find the pressure developed by a pump operating at a flow rate of 300 gpm with an oil having a specific gravity (SG) of 0.8 and a viscosity of...
April 11, 2019 Name Problem # 1-55 points In the final stages of production, a supply fluid for a hospital is sterilized by heating it from 25°C to 80°C, as it moves at 0.2 m/s through a straight thin- walled stainless steel tube of 15-mm diameter, and 10 meter in length. The tube is surrounded by water at 100°C Treating this set-up as a heat exchanger, determine the log-mean temperature difference Assuming zero resistance to heat transfer through the stainless...
