A Venturi tube may be used as a fluid flowmeter. Suppose the device is used at a service station to measure the flow rate of gas

oline (p = 660 kg/m³) through a hose having an outlet radius of 2.80 cm. If the difference in pressure is measured to be P1 - P2 = 1.20 kPa and the radius of the inlet tube to the meter is 1.40 cm.(a) Find the speed of the gasoline as it leaves the hose.(b) Find the fluid flow rate in cubic meters per second.

Answer

given,

flow rate = p = 660 kg/m³

outer radius = 2.8 cm

P₁ - P₂ = 1.20 k Pa

inlet radius = 1.40 cm

using continuity equation

 A₁ v₁ = A₂ v₂

 π r₁² v₁ = π r₁² v₂

 v_1= \dfrac{r_1^2}{r_2^2} v_2

 v_1= \dfrac{1.4^2}{2.8^2} v_2

 v_1= 0.25 v_2

Applying Bernoulli's equation

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

 \Delta P = \dfrac{1}{2}\rho (v_2^2-(0.25 v_2)^2)

 \Delta P = \dfrac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2 (1 - 0.0625)

 v_2=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\Delta P}{\rho(1 - 0.0625)}}

 v_2=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 1200}{660 \times(1 - 0.0625)}}

       v₂ = 1.97 m/s

b) fluid flow rate

Q = A₂ V₂

Q = π (0.014)²  x 1.97

Q = 1.21 x 10⁻³ m³/s

How to find the gradient of a velocity time graph
Sidana [21]
The area-

The area under the line in a velocity-time graph represents the distance travelled. To find the distance travelled in the graph above, we need to find the area of the light-blue triangle and the dark-blue rectangle.

<span><span>Area of light-blue triangle -
<span>The width of the triangle is 4 seconds and the height is 8 meters per second. To find the area, you use the equation: <span>area of triangle = 1⁄2 × base × height </span><span>so the area of the light-blue triangle is 1⁄2 × 8 × 4 = 16m. </span></span></span><span> Area of dark-blue rectangle The width of the rectangle is 6 seconds and the height is 8 meters per second. So the area is 8 × 6 = 48m.</span><span> Area under the whole graph <span>The area of the light-blue triangle plus the area of the dark-blue rectangle is:16 + 48 = 64m.<span>This is the total area under the distance-time graph. This area represents the distance covered.</span></span></span></span>
