:Determining Flow Rate/Velocity of Fluid in Low Vacuum

AI Thread Summary
To determine the flow rate or velocity of a fluid moving towards a low vacuum, Bernoulli's equation is a key tool. The discussion highlights the challenge of selecting the appropriate form of Bernoulli's equation for this scenario. It emphasizes the influence of atmospheric pressure in pushing the fluid through a pipe due to the partial vacuum. Understanding the relationship between pressure, velocity, and flow rate is crucial for accurate calculations. The conversation seeks clarity on the specific equations and categories relevant to this fluid dynamics problem.

Homework Statement


How do you determine the flow rate or velocity of a fluid moving towards a low vacuum from atmospheric force pushing the fluid towards the low vacuum?

Bernouilli's equation.
 
I looked up the Bernouilli's equations, But I did't know which one to use. I would like to know the velocity and flow rate of a fluid be forced up a pipe by atmospheric pressure because of a partial vacuum.
Can you tell me which equation to look under. What category it would be under.
 

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
