Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulics

  1. An incompressible homogeneous fluid is flowing steadily in a variable diameter pipe having the large and small diameters as 15 cm and 5 cm, respectively. If the velocity at a section at the 15 cm diameter portion of the pipe is 2.5 m/s, the velocity of the fluid (in m/s) at a section falling in 5 cm portion of the pipe is ___________.
    1. 22 m/s
    2. 21.5 m/s
    3. 22.5 m/s
    4. 21 m/s
Correct Option: C

22 to 23

π
× (15)² × 2.5 =
π
× 5² × V
44

⇒ V = 2.5 ×
15²
25

= 22.5 m/s
