7. Water flows trough a horizontal tube of diameter 2.5 cm that is joined to a second horizontal tube of diameter 1.2 cm. The pr

essure difference between the tubes is 7.3 kPa. Find the speed of flow in the first tube. Density of water is 1000 kg/m3 .

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the continuity of fluids in a pipeline and apply Bernoulli's balance on the given speeds.

Our values are given as

d_1 = 2.5cm \rightarrow r_1=1.25cm=1.25*10^{-2}m

d_2 = 1.2cm \rightarrow r_2 = 0.6cm = 0.6*10^{-2}m

From the continuity equations in pipes we have to

A_1V_1 = A_2 V_2

Where,

A_{1,2} = Cross sectional Area at each section

V_{1,2} = Flow Velocity at each section

Then replacing we have,

(\pi r_1^2) v_1 = (\pi r_2^2) v_2

(1.25*10^{-2})^2 v_1 = ( 0.06*10^{-2})^2 v_2

v_2 = \frac{(1.25*10^{-2})^2 }{0.6*10^{-2})^2} v_1

From Bernoulli equation we have that the change in the pressure is

\Delta P = \frac{1}{2} \rho (v_2^2-v_1^2)

7.3*10^3 = \frac{1}{2} (1000)([ \frac{(1.25*10^{-2})^2 }{0.6*10^{-2})^2} v_1 ]^2-v_1^2)

7300= 8919.01 v_1^2

v_1 = 0.9m/s

Therefore the speed of flow in the first tube is 0.9m/s

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

A) the frequency and amplitude of the output voltag

Explanation:

Changing the speed of a synchronous generator changes both the output voltage (amplitude of the wave) and frequency as they tend to increase.

Changing the speed regulator will change the engine throttle setting to maintain the speed.

While the power, torque, current, fuel flow rate and torque angle will have decreased.
