Just brainstorming:
I have not done physics for a long time, however, given the statement of Bernoulli's equation: "If the speed of a fluid particle increases as it travels along a streamline, the pressure of the fluid must decrease, and conversely", the flow rate at the surface of the slot...
I am back!
After reviewing my units, I found that in the SI system, the unit of force is the pound (lb), the unit of mass is the slug and that of acceleration is ft/s^2. I remember that 1lb = 1 slug ft/sec^2. Armed with this knowledge, I atacked the problem as follows:
pressure (p) has units...
I thought so!
Thanks,
I haven't done physics in a log time and I am rusty on the basics. I thoght I had the problem that you mention but was not sure. I'll try again using proper force units and I'll come back.
When I check units in the terms in Bernoulli's equation, they do not match:
Given:
p1 + 1/2 (row) v1^2 = p2 + 1/2 (row) v2^2
On the left hand side of the equation, the first term, pressure must have units of force/unit area; say lb/ft^2. The units in the second term are the product...
