Fluid dynamics
Question

A liquid flows through a horizontal tube. The velocities of the liquid in the two sections, which have areas of cross - section A1 and A2, are V1 and V2 respectively. The difference in the levels of the liquid in the two vertical tubes is h.

a) The volume of the liquid flowing through the tube in unit time is A1V1.
b) \large V_2-V_1=\sqrt {2gh}
c) \large V_2^2-V_1^2= {2gh}
d) The energy per unit mass of the liquid is the same in both sections of the tube.

Moderate
Solution

Discharge = A1V1 = A2V2. Applying Bernoulli's equation between larger and smaller sections, we can write, \large p_1+\frac 12\rho V_1 ^2=p_2+\frac 12\rho V_2 ^2
\large \Rightarrow V_2^2-V_1^2=\frac 2{\rho}(p_1-p_2)......(1)\;Also\;p_1-p_2=\rho gh.......(2)
From (1) and (2), \large V_2^2-V_1^2=2gh. According to Bernoulli's principle energy per unit volume or unit mass or unit weight of the an ideal blowing fluid at all points in the flow region remain the same.
