NOTE: The density of sea water is 1050 kg/m³ Once on land Nemo is placed in a fish tank (filled with sea water). Inside the tank there is a water pump which circulates the water. The water is drawn in through a pipe with a diameter of 0.02m at a speed of 1.7m/s. Calculate the flow rate of water in the pipe. m³/s The pipe then moves up through the tank to the discharge end of the pipe where the water comes out of the pipe. The discharge end of the pipe has a diameter of 0.045m. The flow rate at the pipe discharge is the flow rate at the pipe inlet. Ⓒ Greater Than Less Than Equal to The velocity of water at the pipe discharge is O Greater Than O Less Than Ⓒ Equal to Calculate the velocity of water at the discharge. m/s the velocity of water at the pipe inlet.
Fluid Pressure
The term fluid pressure is coined as, the measurement of the force per unit area of a given surface of a closed container. It is a branch of physics that helps to study the properties of fluid under various conditions of force.
Gauge Pressure
Pressure is the physical force acting per unit area on a body; the applied force is perpendicular to the surface of the object per unit area. The air around us at sea level exerts a pressure (atmospheric pressure) of about 14.7 psi but this doesn’t seem to bother anyone as the bodily fluids are constantly pushing outwards with the same force but if one swims down into the ocean a few feet below the surface one can notice the difference, there is increased pressure on the eardrum, this is due to an increase in hydrostatic pressure.
