Question

water flows into a pipe with an inlet diameter di =5.5 cm. If the water inflow rate is V=0.55 liters/s and if the pipe has a leak with a rate m=55 g/s, calculate the water velocity (in cm/s) at the pipe outlet of diameter Do= 3.3.

Explanation / Answer

From conservation of mass, at steady state conditions

Rate of mass in- rate of mass out =0

Mass flow rate = volumetric flow rate* density

Mass flow rate in = 0.55* L/s*1000g/L =550 g/s

Water leakage rate = 55 g/s

Mass flow rate out = mass flow rate in- water leakage rate= 550-55= 495 g/s

Mass flow rate = Density* velocity* cross sectional area = 495 g/s=0.495 Kg/s

Cross sectional area at the exit = (PI/4)*d2 = (22/28)*(3.3/100)2= 0.000856 m2

Density of water =1000 kg/m3.

0.495 kg/s= 0.000856 m2* 1000 kg/m3*Velocity

Velocity at the exit= 0.5785 m/s or 57.85cm/s
