Question

Water is flowing at 6 m/s through a 5.3 cm pipe and is connected to a 2.3 cm pipe. What is the velocity in the smaller pipe? Small Pipe Velocity = [Num]m/s

What must be the diameter of a hose if it is to deliver 5 liters of oil in 1.1 minutes with an exit velocity of 5 m/s? Pipe Diameter = [Num] [Units]

What must be the diameter of a hose if it is to deliver 5 liters of oil in 1.1 minutes with an exit velocity of 5 m/s? Pipe Diameter = [Num] [Units]

Explanation / Answer

a)
A1 = pi*r1^2

A2 = pi*r2^2

V1 = 6 m/s

v2 = ?

Apply continuty equation

A1*V1 = A2*V2

V2 = V1*(A1/A2)

= 6.2*(pi*r1^2/pi*r2^2)

= 6.2*(5.3/2.3)^2

= 32.92 m/s

b)

Voume of water deliverd = volume flow rate*time

V = A*v*t

V = (pi*d^2/4)*v*t

d^2 = 4*V/(pi*v*t)


d = sqrt(4*V/(pi*v*t))

= sqrt(4*5*10^-3/(pi*5*1.1*60))

= 4.39*10^-3 m or 4.39 mm
