Answer:
A) At point 1, local acceleration = 0.5 m/s²
At point 2, local acceleration = 1.0 m/s²
B) Average Eulerian convective acceleration over the two points in the cross section shown = 0.5 m/s²
This value is positive indicating an increase in velocity and acceleration kf the fluid as the cross sectional Area of flow reduces.
Explanation:
Local acceleration at those points is the instantaneous acceleration at those points and it is given as
a = dv/dt
At point 1, v₁ = 0.5 t
a₁ =dv₁/dt = 0.5 m/s²
At point 2, v₂ = 1.0 t
a₂ = dv₂/dt = 1.0 m/s²
b) Average Eulerian convective acceleration over the two points in the cross section shown = (change of velocity between the two points)/time
Change of velocity between the two points = v₂ - v₁ = 1.0t - 0.5t = 0.5 t
Time = t
Average acceleration = 0.5t/t = 0.5 m/s²
This value is positive indicating an increase in velocity and acceleration kf the fluid as the cross sectional Area of flow reduces.
