Calculating Air Pressure, Velocity at Venturi Tube Inlet/Throat/Outlet

AI Thread Summary
A venturi tube with specified diameters requires calculations for local air pressure, dynamic pressure, total pressure, and local velocity at three points: the inlet, throat, and outlet. To solve this, one must apply principles from fluid mechanics, particularly Bernoulli's equation and the continuity equation. The inlet diameter is 3.0 inches, the throat is 1.5 inches, and the outlet is 3.5 inches, which will affect the velocity and pressure readings. Reference to "Fluid Mechanics" by RK Rajput is suggested for detailed numerical methods. Accurate calculations will provide the required pressure and velocity values at each point in the venturi tube.

Im a new to this site because my have a question that i don't know how to answer and it really confusing me. If it possible, can you guys show me step by step on how to solve it.

A venturi tube has an inlet diameter of 3.0 inches, a throat diameter of 1.5 inches and an outlet diameter of 3.5 inches. (at standard day conditions and sea level).
What is the local air pressure, dynamic pressure, total pressure and local velocity at the inlet, throat and outlet point.

Thread 'Space Stuff and Launch Info'

Due to the constant never ending supply of "cool stuff" happening in Aerospace these days I'm creating this thread to consolidate posts every time something new comes along. Please feel free to add random information if its relevant. So to start things off here is the SpaceX Dragon launch coming up shortly, I'll be following up afterwards to see how it all goes. :smile: https://blogs.nasa.gov/spacex/
