Question

Water flows at speed of 4.4 m/s through a

Answer 1

Answer:

1.75 atm

Explanation:

Mass is conserved, so the mass flow before the constriction equals the mass flow after the constriction.

m₁ = m₂

ρQ₁ = ρQ₂

Q₁ = Q₂

v₁A₁ = v₂A₂

v₁ πd₁²/4 = v₂ πd₂²/4

v₁ d₁² = v₂ d₂²

Now use Bernoulli equation:

P₁ + ½ ρ v₁² + ρgh₁ = P₂ + ½ ρ v₂² + ρgh₂

Since h₁ = h₂:

P₁ + ½ ρ v₁² = P₂ + ½ ρ v₂²

Writing v₂ in terms of v₁:

P₁ + ½ ρ v₁² = P₂ + ½ ρ (v₁ d₁²/d₂²)²

P₁ + ½ ρ v₁² = P₂ + ½ ρ v₁² (d₁/d₂)⁴

P₁ + ½ ρ v₁² (1 − (d₁/d₂)⁴) = P₂

Plugging in values:

P₂ = 2 atm + ½ (1000 kg/m³) (4.4 m/s)² (1 − (3.3 cm / 2.4 cm)⁴) (1 atm / 1.013×10⁵ Pa)

P₂ = 1.75 atm
