Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around understanding why the pressure at point P1 in a nozzle is not equal to atmospheric pressure (Patm), while pressures at points P2 and P3 are. Participants are exploring the implications of fluid dynamics principles in the context of a nozzle system, particularly focusing on momentum and pressure relationships.

Discussion Character

  • Conceptual clarification, Assumption checking, Mathematical reasoning

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants are questioning the conditions under which P1 is not equal to Patm, considering whether P1 is exposed to atmospheric pressure. They are also discussing the equations related to momentum and pressure in the nozzle, with some participants attempting to reconcile different forms of the equations presented.

Discussion Status

The discussion is ongoing, with participants providing insights and questioning assumptions about the system's setup. Some have offered interpretations of the drawing conventions used in the problem, while others are seeking clarification on the momentum equations and their implications.

Contextual Notes

There is a mention of a drawing convention indicating that only part of the hose is shown, which raises questions about the exposure of certain sections to atmospheric pressure. Participants are also grappling with the implications of momentum conservation within the control volume.

Homework Statement


why P1 not equal to P atm ? I can understand that P2= P 3 = P atm , because it is open to the atmospheric pressure... but why not P1 ?for (0.659-Fx = (10^3)(0.0942)(11.59) + (10^3)(0.053)(10.39) - (10^3)(0.1473)(8.33) = 0.147kN , it's actually (0.659-Fx = (ρ)(Q)(v2) + (ρ)(Q3)(v3) - (ρ)(Q1)(V1)why not the equation =
(0.659-Fx = (ρ)(Q)(v2x - v1) + (ρ)(Q3)(v3x -v1) ) ? just like the equation in the question that i asked in the previous thread? https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/pressure-in-bent-pipe.865389/

Why should it? Is it exposed to the atmosphere?
for (0.659-Fx = (10^3)(0.0942)(11.59) + (10^3)(0.053)(10.39) - (10^3)(0.1473)(8.33) = 0.147kN , it's actually (0.659-Fx = (ρ)(Q)(v2) + (ρ)(Q3)(v3) - (ρ)(Q1)(V1)why not the equation =

What is the rate at which horizontal momentum enters the control volume?
What is the rate at which horizontal momentum exits the control volume?
What is the rate of change of horizontal momentum of the fluid within the control volume?

in the picture , it is exposed to atmosphere , right ? there's a hole at inlet
 
i found that by using both 0.659-Fx = (ρ)(Q)(v2x - v1) + (ρ)(Q3)(v3x -v1) ) and (0.659-Fx = (10^3)(0.0942)(11.59) + (10^3)(0.053)(10.39) - (10^3)(0.1473)(8.33) )
i gt 0.659-Fx= 0.417kN , i don't understand the method (0.659-Fx = (10^3)(0.0942)(11.59) + (10^3)(0.053)(10.39) - (10^3)(0.1473)(8.33) ) , can someone explain on this ?

No. That's the section of the hose near the outlet. They couldn't fit the entire hose in the picture, so they used those curvy lines around the perimeter to show that the hose is continuous there.

Answer my questions in post #2, and then you'll understand better.

this is the hint showing the pipe is very long , and the section is not exposed ti atmosphere?

Yes. It's a drawing convention that is always used to indicate that only part of an object is being shown.

thanks for pointing out that , i just knew it

rate at which horizontal momentum enters the control volume =rate at which horizontal momentum exits the control volume
rate of change of horizontal momentum of the fluid within the control volume = 0 ?

No way. The momentum of the fluid within the control volume is increasing.
Rate at which horizontal momentum enters the control volume = (ρ)(Q1)(V1)
Rate at which horizontal momentum exits the control volume = (ρ)(Q2)(v2) + (ρ)(Q3)(v3)
Rate of change of momentum of fluid within control volume = (ρ)(Q)(v2) + (ρ)(Q3)(v3) - (ρ)(Q1)(V1)
