AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the flow resistance of connected tubes with varying diameters, specifically how to assess tube B, which has different cross-sectional areas along its length. Participants suggest calculating the resistance for each section of tube B separately and then summing the results. The impact of tube length on pressure difference is also questioned, particularly in scenarios with no viscosity and turbulence. The application of Bernoulli's principle is mentioned as a potential method for analysis. Overall, the conversation seeks clarity on the relationship between tube dimensions, flow resistance, and required pressure for a consistent flow rate.

i want to ask how flow resistance of connected tubes with different diameters is calculated.
as you see in the uploaded image we imagine that there are 3 tubes.
tube A is 2 meters long and cross section area is 2S.
tube B is also 2 meters long but first 1 meter has 2S surface area and last 1 meter has S surface area
tube C is 2 meters and has S surface area

now: how we calculate the flow resistance of tube B? do we calculate the first and last 1 meters each and add the results or different method? how we compare the resistances of 3 tubes

if connect a water pump to left of them and want to pass the same flow rate how much pressure we have to apply. what will be the compare of pressure magnitudes (3 tubes are already fully filled with liquid before pump)

add: we accept that there is no turbulance

thanks

If there is no viscosity, how does the lengths of the various sections affect the pressure difference? Have you tried Betnoulli?
 
You are right, it has to be "There is no turbulance"

You are right, it has to be "There is no turbulance" can you answer according to this
 
can anyone answer?
 
Thread 'Motional EMF in Faraday disc, co-rotating magnet axial mean flux'
So here is the motional EMF formula. Now I understand the standard Faraday paradox that an axis symmetric field source (like a speaker motor ring magnet) has a magnetic field that is frame invariant under rotation around axis of symmetry. The field is static whether you rotate the magnet or not. So far so good. What puzzles me is this , there is a term average magnetic flux or "azimuthal mean" , this term describes the average magnetic field through the area swept by the rotating Faraday...
It may be shown from the equations of electromagnetism, by James Clerk Maxwell in the 1860’s, that the speed of light in the vacuum of free space is related to electric permittivity (ϵ) and magnetic permeability (μ) by the equation: c=1/√( μ ϵ ) . This value is a constant for the vacuum of free space and is independent of the motion of the observer. It was this fact, in part, that led Albert Einstein to Special Relativity.
