1. If a car is moving at 80 km/h, it means it is moving 80 km in one hour. Let us agree to denote speed by the
symbol . Since speed is distance in unit time, we can say . The dot ( . ) on L means change of L in unit
time.
2. A liquid is moving with a speed as shown alongside.
In 1 second, the liquid flows a distance as shown. If
the cross-sectional area of the pipe is A, then the volume
9. A tapered converging fuel pipe in the diagram below has an inlet diameter of 20 cm and fuel enters the inlet to the pipe at a velocity of 2 m/s. The duct has been
designed to deliver fuel to the outlet, at a velocity between 4.0 and 5.0 m/s. Assuming the
fuel flow is incompressible and the relative density of the fuel is 0.78, determine: (a) volume
flow rate for the system, (b) the mass flow rate for the system and (c) the outlet duct
diameter range to allow fuel to flow between minimum and maximum design velocities.
