how it relate to the V1 ?BvU said:Did you read the template headers ?
What the writer means is that the exit opening of the hose is considerably smaller than the diameter.
you mean when the diameter in the hose is larger , the velocity of water in the hose is much smller ( almost = 0 ) compared to the velocity of water at the escaping hole ?BvU said:It doesn't. The volume flow is not playing a role in this exercise, where the upper limit of the achievable height is calculated.
ok , so is my statement in post #5 correct ?BvU said:Bernoulli equation is an energy balance. Here the pressure energy (difference) is converted into gravitational potential energy. The upper limit for height follows if the kinetic energy in the hose can be ignored.
And indeed, at the outflow opening there is mainly kinetic energy.
The velocity in hoses is low due to friction and resistance within the hose. As the fluid moves through the hose, it rubs against the walls and creates a drag force that slows down the flow. This is known as frictional pressure drop and it is affected by the size and material of the hose.
Low velocity in hoses means that the fluid is moving at a slower rate compared to a higher velocity. This can impact the efficiency of the system as it takes longer for the fluid to reach its destination. It can also cause issues such as sediment buildup and decreased pressure, which can affect the overall performance of the system.
Low velocity can affect the flow of fluid in several ways. Firstly, it can cause the fluid to take longer to reach its destination, which can lead to delays and decreased efficiency. Secondly, low velocity can result in sediment buildup in the hose, which can clog the flow and decrease the overall performance of the system. Lastly, low velocity can also decrease the pressure of the fluid, which can impact its ability to move through the hose and perform its intended function.
While some degree of velocity reduction in hoses is inevitable, it can be minimized through proper hose selection and installation. Choosing the right size and material of the hose can reduce friction and resistance, thereby maintaining a higher velocity. Additionally, regular maintenance and cleaning of the hoses can also help prevent sediment buildup, which can cause further reductions in velocity.
Low velocity in hoses can have several consequences, including decreased efficiency and performance of the system, increased sediment buildup and clogging, and decreased pressure of the fluid. These consequences can lead to delays, malfunctions, and higher maintenance costs. It is important to monitor and address low velocity in hoses to ensure optimal functioning of the system.
