    Tap Water Flow Reduction: Why Does Distance Matter?

    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!

    Fluid Mechanics: Solving 8 Min Water Flow Problem

    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)...

    Calculating Water Flow Speed at Points A and B: Pipe Branching Equations

    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...

    Understanding Water Flow Dynamics in a Bernoulli's Pipe

    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...

    Is Bernoulli's Principle of Water Flow Really Flawless in Hydraulic Engineering?

    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...
