The water flowing through a 1.8 cm (inside diameter) pipe flows out through three 1.2 cm pipes. (a) If the flow rates in the thr

ee smaller pipes are 27, 19, and 12 L/min, what is the flow rate in the 1.8 cm pipe? (b) What is the ratio of the speed of water in the 1.8 cm pipe to that in the pipe carrying 27 L/min?

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the Discharge of flow equations.

From the theory the flow rate is defined as

Q = AV

Where,

A =Area

V = Velocity

PART A) The question is telling us about the total fluid flow rate then

Q_T = Q_1+Q_2+Q_3

Q_T = 27+19+12

Q_T = 58L/min

PART B) The radius would be given between another pipe with a flow rate of 27L / min.

For proportionality ratio we have to

\frac{Q_T}{Q'} = \frac{A_TV_T}{A'V'}

\frac{V_T}{V'} = \frac{A_'Q_T}{A_TQ'}

\frac{V_T}{V'} = \frac{(\pi r_T^2)Q_T}{(\pi r'^2)Q'}

\frac{V_T}{V'} = \frac{1.2*^2 58}{1.8^2 27}

\frac{V_T}{V'} = 0.9547

How does lithium react with cold water?
Tomtit [17]
Lithium metals reacts slowly with water to form a colourless solution of lithiums hydroxide (LiOH) and hydrogen gas (H2). The resulting solution is basic because of the dissolved hydroxide. The reaction is exothermic, but the reaction is slower than that of sodium (immediately below lithium in the periodic table)

What happens to a satellite that slows down?
Bess [88]

Two things can happen to <u>old satellites</u>: For the closer satellites, engineers will use its last bit of fuel to slow it down so it will fall out of orbit and burn up in the atmosphere. Further satellites are instead sent even farther away from Earth.
