the cross-sectional area of the throat? (Assume that the air is
non-compressible and has a density of 0,002378 slug per cu ft)
2.57 sq ft
A horizontal water pipe is reduced in size from 18 in in diameter
at point A to 6 in in diameter at B. The flow in the pipe is 10 cu
ft. per sec, and the pressure at A is 20 lb per sq in (gage). If it is
assumed that there is no loss in energy due to friction, what is
the pressure at B?
2.74 psi
Air flows through a horizontal pipe at the rate of 3000 cu ft per
sec. If the pressure is 30 lb per sq in (gage) where the diameter
is 3 ft, what is the pressure where the diameter is 2 ft?
24.0 psi
Water flows through a horizontal pipe at the rate of 800 gal per
min. What is the difference in pressure between a point where
the diameter is 2 in and a point where the diameter is 1 in?
0.038 psi
A horizontal pipe line enlarges from a diameter of 6 in at point A
to a diameter of 12 in at point B. The flow of water is 20 cu ft per
sec, and the pressure at A is 10 lb per sq in. What is the
pressure at B?
75.5 psi
A Venturi tube narrows down from 4 in in diameter to 2 in in
diameter. What is the rate of flow of water if the pressure at the
throat is 2 lb per sq in less than at the larger section?
0.388 cu ft per sec
A Venturi tube is 6 in in diameter at the entrance, where the
pressure is 10 lb per sq in (gage). The throat is 4 in diameter;
there the pressure is 6 lb. sq in (gage). What is the flow of
water?
7.51 cu ft per sec
A 12 in. by 6 in. Venturi meter is located in a horizontal water
line. If the pressure gages read 30 lb per sq in, and 16 lb per sq
in, what is the flow?
9.23 cu ft per sec
The diameter at A is 12 in (Venturi); the diameter at B is 6 in.
What is the flow rate of water if the pressure difference between
B and A is 5 in. Hg?
3.87 cu ft per sec
A submarine is cruising in fresh water with its longitudinal axis
30 ft below the surface. At a speed of 15 knots, what is the
impact pressure on its nose? (1 knot = 1 nautical mile per hour;
1 nautical mile = 6080.3 ft)
17.3 psi
