Pipe has radius
, and pipe
has radius
. The two pipes are connected. In order for the speed of water in pipe
to be
times as great as the speed in pipe
, what must be
?
Water is flowing through a diameter pipe at
. Oil is flowing through a
square pipe at
. Which has the higher volumetric flow rate?
Suppose that water flows from a pipe with a diameter of 1m into another pipe of diameter 0.5m. If the speed of water in the first pipe is , what is the speed in the second pipe?
How can the velocity of fluid through a pipe be increased?
A tank is completely full of water to the height of . On the side of the tank, at the very bottom a small hole is punctured. With what velocity does water flow though the hole at the bottom of the water tank?
Water is flowing through a pipe of radius at a velocity of
. The pipe then narrows to a radius of
. Determine the new velocity.
A pipe narrows from a diameter to a
diameter. What is the velocity of the fluid when it exits the pipe (at the
end) if it entered the pipe at
?
A syringe has a cross-sectional area of and the needle attached to the syringe has a cross-sectional area of
. The fluid in the syringe is pushed with a speed of
, with what velocity does the fluid exit the needle opening?
A pipe has fluid flowing through it. Which of the following situations will occur if a section of the pipe is compressed resulting in a small area?
Water is flowing through a horizontal cylindrical tube. By what factor does the velocity change by if the circumference of the tube doubles?
