A 1.0-cm-diameter pipe widens to 2.0 cm, then narrows to 0.5 cm. Liquid flows through the first segment at a speed of 9.0 m/s

A:What is the speed in the second segment?m/s
B:What is the speed in the third segment?m/s
C:What is the volume flow rate through the pipe?L/s

Respuesta :

Answer:

(a) Speed in the second segment=2.25 m/s

(b) Speed in the third segment=36 m/s

(c) Volume=0.02826 L/s

Explanation:

Given Data

r₁=5×10⁻⁴m

r₂=10⁻³m

r₃=2.5×10⁻⁴ m

v₁= 9.0 m/s

For (a) speed in the second segment

From continuity equation

[tex]v_{1}A_{1}=v_{2}A_{2}\\ v_{2}=\frac{v_{1}A_{1}}{A_{2}}\\ v_{2}=\frac{v_{1}4(\pi)(r_{1})^{2}}{4(\pi)(r_{2})^{2}}\\ v_{2}=\frac{v_{1}(r_{1})^{2}}{(r_{2})^{2}}\\ v_{2}=\frac{9.0*(5*10^{-4} )^{2} }{(1*10^{-3} )^{2}}\\ v_{2}=2.25 m/s[/tex]

For (b) speed in the third segment

[tex]v_{3}=\frac{v_{1}(r_{1})^{2} }{(r_{3})^{2} }\\v_{3}=\frac{9*(5*10^{-4} )^{2} }{(2.5*10^{-4} )^{2} }\\v_{3}=36m/s[/tex]

For (c) the volume flow rate through the pipe

The volume flow rate is the same in all three segments and is given as:

[tex]V=v_{1}A_{1}\\ V=v_{1}4\pi (r_{1})^{2}\\ V=9.0*4\pi (5*10^{-4} )^{2}\\ V=2.86*10^{-5}m^{3}/s[/tex]

As per requirement of question we need to convert volume cubic meter/second to Litre/second for that we need to "multiply the volume /second value by 1000"

So

Volume=(2.86×10⁻⁵ ×1000) L/s

Volume=0.02826 L/s
