Sample Problem: Incompressible fluid flow
As a part of a lubricating system for heavy machinery, oil of
density 850kg/m3 is pumped through a cylindrical pipe of
diameter 8.0cm at a rate of 9.5liters per second.
(a)What is the speed of the oil? What is the mass flow rate?
(b)If the pipe diameter is reduced to 4.0cm, what are the new
values of the speed and volume flow rate?
Assume that the oil is incompressible.

(a) The volume flow rate dV/dt equals the product A1v1, where A1
is the cross sectional area of the pipe (d = 8.0cm so r = 4.0cm).
Therefore:
(b) Since the oil is incompressible; then the flow rate is 9.5liters/second
in both end of the pipe; decreasing the diameter from 8.0cm to 4.0cm
means decreasing the radius from 4.0cm to 2.0cm. Using the continuity:

To solve:
Flow speed: continuity equation
Pressure: Bernoulli equation
Volume flow rate: by definition
Find the speed v2 at the bathroom using the continuity equation:
Continuity eqn:
Speed increases a
height/pressure drops
Sample Problem: Venturi meter is used to measure the flow speed in
a pipe. The narrow part of the pipe is called the throat. Derive an
expression for the flow speed v1 in terms of the cross-sectional areas
A1 and A2 and the difference in height h of the liquid levels in the two
vertical tubes.
Use Bernoulli equation for points 1 and 2; relate velocities using continuity equation

Bernoulli's principle states that when an incompressible,
smoothly flowing fluid gains speed, internal pressure in
the fluid decreases, and vice versa.

(4) Water runs into a fountain, filling all the pipes, at a steady
rate of 0.750m3/s. How fast will it shoot out of a hole 4.50cm
in diameter?
Given: volume flow rate: v1A1 = 0.750m3/s; use continuity eqn
