Flow Measurement - Pitot Static Tubes Bernoulli's Equation etc.?

AI Thread Summary
A Pitot-static tube measures air velocity using a water manometer, with a deflection of 12.4 cm indicating the pressure differential. The air density is given as 1.25 kg/m³, while the water density in the manometer is 1000 kg/m³. To calculate air velocity, Bernoulli's equation is applied, utilizing the pressure differential derived from the manometer reading. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding pressure differentials in flow measurement. Proper application of Bernoulli's principle allows for accurate determination of air velocity.

A Pitot-static tube connected to water manometer is used to measure the velocity of air. If the deflection between the two arms of the manometer is 12.4cm, determine the air velocity when the density of air is 1.25kgm-3 and the density of the water in the manometer is 1000kg/m3.

I am not really sure where to start as i don't have the pressures...do i?

Thanks

You have the pressure differential since you have the difference in height of the two sides of the manometer.
 
Thank you for your reply, so what equation do i use from here? My pressure differential is 12.4 cm?

Thanks
 
You already said it. Bernoulli.
 

Thread 'HP Required to move a robot 10meters at 1.5m/sec'

I need some assistance with calculating hp requirements for moving a load. - The 4000lb load is resting on ball bearing rails so friction is effectively zero and will be covered by my added power contingencies. Load: 4000lbs Distance to travel: 10 meters. Time to Travel: 7.5 seconds Need to accelerate the load from a stop to a nominal speed then decelerate coming to a stop. My power delivery method will be a gearmotor driving a gear rack. - I suspect the pinion gear to be about 3-4in in...

Thread 'Bubble formation in 4 mm gap vessel'

How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...

Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'

Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...
