fluid mechanics question help!?
Air flows through a horizontal duct of dimensions 300 x 300 mm with a velocity of 15 m/s. At position (1) in the duct a water gauge (water manometer) registers a hieght of 215mm. The duct bends downwards and reduces in size to 240 x 240 mm, dropping a distance of 12 m to position (2). the specific volume of the air is 0.85 m^3 / kg and this may be taken as constant. Determine:
a) volume flow rate and mass flow rate.
b) pressure at (1) in kPa
c) The Velocity at (2)
d) pressure at (2) in kPa (guage) and mm water gauge if losses are neglected.
e) pressure at (2) in kPa (gauge and mm water gauge if losses are 10% of the total head at (1) and elevation (2) is used as datum
Bernoulli's Equation
mass flow rate = v A relative density
