Fluids - Quiz 3c - Bernoullis Equation

A glass tube contains water flowing from right to left due to pressure from a piston on the left end. The tube has varying cross-sectional areas. At point B, the speed is calculated to be 8.6 m/s and the pressure is 9.6x10^4 Pa. Given this pressure, the height of a manometer with an evacuated upper end is calculated to be 9.8m.

Unit 3 – Fluids: Quiz 3c

/5
A glass tube has several different cross-sectional areas with the values
indicated below. A piston at the left end of the tube exerts pressure so that
the water within the tube flows from the right end with a speed of 8.0 m/s.
Include a diagram!

a. What is the speed of the water flowing through point B?


b. What is the total pressure at point B? (Point C is open to the atmosphere!)
c. Determine the height of the manometer with the evacuated upper end.

a. What is the speed of the water flowing through point B?


Q is cons tant
vb Ab = vc Ac
vc Ac (8.0m / s)(6.0cm 2 )
vb = = = 8.6m / s
Ab (5.6cm 2 )
b. What is the total pressure at point B?

1 1
PB = PC + rvC2 - rvB2

1
PB = 1.01x10 5 Pa + (1000kg / m 3 )((8.0m / s)2 - (8.6m / s)2 )
2
PB = 9.6x10 4 Pa
c. Determine the height of the manometer with the evacuated upper end.

PB = rwater gh
PB 9.6x10 4 Pa
h= = = 9.8m
rwater g (1000kg / m )(9.8m / s)
