- 3. A circular cylinder of radius a is fitted with two pressure sensors to measure pressure at 0 = 180° and at 150°. The intent is to use this cylinder as a stream velocimeter, i.e. a device to determine the velocity of a stream by measuring the pressures at the two taps. The fluid is incompressible with a density of p. Figure for Part (a) U Figure for Part (b) 30 a) Using potential flow approximation, derive a formula for calculating U from the measured pressure difference at the two pressure taps. Note that for accurate measurement, the velocimeter must be aligned to have one of the taps exactly facing the stream as shown in the figure. (Ans: 2|Aptaps|/p ) b) Suppose the velocimeter has been misaligned by ổ degrees so that the two pressure taps are now at 180° + 8 and 150° + 8. Derive an expression for the percent error in stream velocity measurement. Then, calculate the error for 8 = 5°,10° and –10°.
