Hi, Please could someone explain why it is that the cross section of water emerging from a tap decreases with tap distance ... is it due to air resistance acting to form some kind of aerodynamic shape? any thoughts would be much appreciated!

This is the last problem with fluid mechanics and I have no clue about this one... any ideas? Water flows through a horizontal pipe and is delivered into the atmosphere at a speed of v1=15.9 m/s. The diameters of the left and right sections of the pipe are 8.5 cm and 2.5 cm, respectively. (a)...

water flow venturi meter problem! Heeeelp please :) Hi, The objects of my experiment where 1) to find out the theoretical and experimental pressures in a venturi tube, 2) To determin the coefficient of discharge for the venturi here is the data i collectec...

I've struggled with this since this morning with hardly any progress. "There is a level pipe filled with water flowing through it. Branching off from this pipe are two pipes going perpendicularly upward, with a cross sectional area Sa, Sb, respectively, and there being a difference in water...

Hi everyone….I have a new question. I am writing a lab write-up and I am kind of confused about a concept. In this lab I studied the even flow of water by analyzing the flow of water through a Bernoulli’s pipe. The pipe was set up in a way that it was vertical, open at the top (where a hose...

For fourty years the Bernoulli terms of H+Z+v^2/2g = K offered me a seemingly perfect tool for hydraulic engineering. Suddenly the wheels have fallen off this wagon because v^2 in a STRAIGHT line has a potential equivalence of H... v^2 in a CIRCULAR path has 2H equivalence ? A Newtonian...
