Question

Water moves through a constricted pipe in steady, ideal flow. At the

Answer 1

A) Speed in the lower section: 0.638 m/s

B) Speed in the higher section: 2.55 m/s

C) Volume flow rate: $1.8\cdot 10^{-3} m^3/s$

Explanation:

A)

To solve the problem, we can use Bernoulli's equation, which states that

$p_1 + \rho g h_1 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_1^2 = p_2 + \rho g h_2 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2$

where

$p_1=1.75\cdot 10^4 Pa$ is the pressure in the lower section of the tube

$h_1 = 0$ is the heigth of the lower section

$\rho=1000 kg/m^3$ is the density of water

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

$v_1$ is the speed of the water in the lower pipe

$p_2$ is the pressure in the higher section

$h_2 = 0.250 m$ is the height in the higher pipe

$v_2$ is hte speed in the higher section

We can re-write the equation as

$v_1^2-v_2^2=\frac{2(p_2-p_1)+\rho g h_2}{\rho}$ (1)

Also we can use the continuity equation, which state that the volume flow rate is constant:

$A_1 v_1 = A_2 v_2$

where

$A_1 = \pi r_1^2$ is the cross-section of the lower pipe, with

$r_1 = 3.00 cm =0.03 m$ is the radius of the lower pipe (half the diameter)

$A_2 = \pi r_2^2$ is the cross-section of the higher pipe, with

$r_2 = 1.50 cm = 0.015 m$ (radius of the higher pipe)

So we get

$r_1^2 v_1 = r_2^2 v_2$

And so

$v_2 = \frac{r_1^2}{r_2^2}v_1$ (2)

Substituting into (1), we find the speed in the lower section:

$v_1^2-(\frac{r_1^2}{r_2^2})^2v_1^2=\frac{2(p_2-p_1)+\rho g h_2}{\rho}\\v_1=\sqrt{\frac{2(p_2-p_1+\rho g h_2)}{\rho(1-\frac{r_1^4}{r_2^4})}}=0.638 m/s$

B)

Now we can use equation (2) to find the speed in the lower section:

$v_2 = \frac{r_1^2}{r_2^2}v_1$

Substituting

v1 = 0.775 m/s

And the values of the radii, we find:

$v_2=\frac{0.03^2}{0.015^2}(0.638)=2.55 m/s$

C)

The volume flow rate of the water passing through the pipe is given by

$V=Av$

where

A is the cross-sectional area

v is the speed of the water

We can take any point along the pipe since the volume  flow rate is constant, so

$r_1=0.03 cm$

$v_1=0.638 m/s$

Therefore, the volume flow rate is

$V=\pi r_1^2 v_1 = \pi (0.03)^2 (0.638)=1.8\cdot 10^{-3} m^3/s$
