Chapter 7, Problem 7.10P

Note: In the following problems, you will deal with both the International System of Units (SI) (N, kg, m, s, K) and the English Engineering System (lb, slug, ft, s, $°\text{R}$). Which system to use will be self-evident in each problem. All problems deal with calorically perfect air as the gas, unless otherwise noted. Also, recall that $1\text{atm}=2116{\text{lb/ft}}^{\text{2}}=1.01\times {10}^5{\text{N/m}}^{\text{2}}$.

Calculate the percentage error obtained if Problem 7.9 is solved using (incorrectly) the incompressible Bernoulli equation.
