Question

What is the flow rate of the air in the pipeline if the cross sectional area of a pneumatic pipeline is 0.01 m2 and the speed of the air in the pipeline is 20 m/s?

Answer 1

Answer:

0.2 m³/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Applying,

Q = vA.............. Equation 1

Where Q = Flow rate of  air in the pipeline, v = flow velocity of the air in the pipeline, A = cross sectional area of the pneumatic pipeline.

From the question,

Given: v = 20 m/s, A = 0.01 m²

Substitute these values into equation 1

Q = 20(0.01)

Q = 0.2 m³/s

Hence the flow rate of air in the pipeline is  0.2 m³/s
