The discussion revolves around calculating the velocity at the stack tip in a fluid dynamics context, specifically concerning a system involving compressible gases and varying diameters. The original poster questions the applicability of the continuity equation due to the distance involved and the nature of the fluid.
Some participants have provided insights into the nature of the fluid and the relevance of the equation, while others have pointed out potential misunderstandings in the problem's presentation. The discussion is ongoing, with various interpretations being explored.
There is mention of a distance of 2.5 m and the potential effects on calculations, as well as confusion regarding the units used for velocity and flow rate. Participants are considering the implications of these factors on the problem at hand.
I think you're right. That formula applies to incompressible fluids like water. The flue gases are of course compressible.Suradanai said:
Thank you very much, now I am looking the gas equation also that can apply this issue.rude man said:
Oh!, that's my mistake, the right should be (m/s) as you said.haruspex said:
"The right"? Do you mean the "flow rate"? I would have thought that was m3/s, and the two "velocities" should be m/s.Suradanai said:
