A fluid, with a density of rho = 1165 kg/m3, flows in a horizontal pipe. In one segment of the pipe the flow speed is v1 = 4.53 m/s. In a second segment the flow speed is v2 = 1.77 m/s. What is the difference between the pressure in the second segment (P2) and the pressure in the first segment (P1)?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The pressure difference between two pipe is [tex]1.01 \times 10^{4}[/tex] Pa

Explanation:

Density [tex]\rho = 1165[/tex] [tex]\frac{kg}{m^{3} }[/tex]

Speed in one pipe [tex]v_{1} = 4.53[/tex] [tex]\frac{m}{s}[/tex]

Speed in second pipe [tex]v_{2} = 1.77[/tex] [tex]\frac{m}{s}[/tex]

According to the bernoulli equation,

The pressure difference is given by,

     [tex]P = \frac{1}{2} \rho v^{2}[/tex]

[tex]P_{2} - P_{1} = \frac{1}{2} \rho (v_{1}^{2} - v_{2}^{2} )[/tex]

[tex]P_{2} - P_{1} = \frac{1}{2} \times 1165 \times[ (4.53)^{2}- (1.77)^{2}][/tex]

[tex]P_{2} - P_{1} = 10128.51[/tex]

[tex]P_{2} - P_{1} = 1.01 \times 10^{4}[/tex] Pa

Therefore, the pressure difference between two pipe is [tex]1.01 \times 10^{4}[/tex] Pa
