Thought I'd let you know that the numbers weren't picked out of a hat. There is a real world example of what I am talking about. I just phrased it as a hypothetical. Thanks to those that helped
Thank you very much for that definitely cleared many things up for me. Now I can get to work on calculating the spin rate.
The question was purely hypothetical, so no need to worry about pumps and so forth. Thanks again
You would be right, my apologies for the misuse of the terminology. I honestly did not think that turning a funnel horizontal would change its name. I am talking about a converging pipe or duct with a 10m radius at the wide opening down to a 1m at the narrowest point.
For the purpose of the...
Thanks for helping out, but does gravity matter if I am talking about a horizontal funnel where the center of the narrow end is at the same height as the center of the wide end? For the elevation point would be 0, meaning that the gravity term cancels out.
I am having a few issues reconciling Bernoulli's principle and the continuity equation for an incompressible flow in a horizontal funnel where there is significant difference in the area from the start to the end. More specifically, I want to work out exactly what the fluid is doing once it...
