Tutorial Bernoulli Equation

The document provides 3 examples applying Bernoulli's equation: 1) To calculate the final water height in a bathtub filling with a leaky drain, and time to reach 90% height. 2) To calculate the exit air temperature given inlet conditions and measured exit velocity in a converging nozzle. 3) To calculate the mass flow rate of water draining from a large tank through a pipe, given the pipe diameter.

Tutorial: Bernoullis Equation

1. A bathtub is being filled with water, but the drain plug does not fit properly and water
leaks out. The volumetric flow rate of water down the drain is proportional to the
pressure drop across the plug according to V = 90(P Patm) where flow rate is in gal/min
and pressure is PSIA. The flow rate from the faucet is 30 gal/min. Bathtub size is 5 ft long,
2.5 ft wide and 2 ft high.
a. What is the final height of water in the tub?
b. How long will it take the tub to 90% of the final height?

2. Air enters a nozzle at 90C, 180 kPa with an average of 60 m/s. The duct has an inlet
diameter of 10 cm. The exit has a diameter of 6.3 cm and is open to the atmosphere. If
the velocity at the exit is 249 m/s, what is the temperature at exit?

Air out

3. Water drains at a steady rate from a very large tank through a pipe of diameter 4 cm.
Assume frictionless, incompressible flow. Assume velocity of the receding top surface is
negligible. Find the rate at which mass drains from the tank.
