- An air tube is open at both ends and contains constriction connected on both sides by a channel of mercury. a. What do you know about the air speed of the air flowing through the tube at this instant? b. At time t later, the air speed is known to flow through the tube from left to right at a rate of 1200 cm³/s. Draw three air streamlines through the tube. Interpret what these lines are telling you about the fluid moving through the tube. c. What is the air speed in the wide and narrow parts of the tube? d.

During the manufacturing process, both pastes are pumped through a pipe, with the red paste lying in the center of the pipe, as shown in Figure Q2. The pipe has an internal radius, R2, and the segment of red paste has a radius R1. The flow is found to follow the Poiseuille equation, i.e. 1 dp u(r) = -- 4µdx (R²2-²) Where u is the viscosity of the paste and dp dx is the pressure gradient. The total flow of toothpaste through the pipe is Qtot, and the flowrate of the red paste is Qred. The toothpaste has a density of p = 1200 kg/m3, and a viscosity of 0.03 Pa.s. The pipe has a radius R2 = 5 cm and a length L = 2 m. a) Find an expression for the flowrate of the red toothpaste.

A linear velocity profile is formed in a fluid between two plates as shown in the figure when one of the plates is moved parallel to the other and there is no externally imposed pressure gradient (i.e. there is no pump). If the top plate is travels at U = 0.3 m/s and the bottom plate is held fixed and the two plates are separated by a distance d = 0.3 m/s, derive an equation for the velocity profile u(y). Assume that the fluid in contact with either plate moves at the same speed as the plate (this is called the no-slip condition). U=0.3 m/s d=0.3 marrow_forward
