An ideal fluid of density 800 kgm −- 3, flows smoothly through a bent pipe (as shown in figure) that tapers in cross-sectional area from a to a2{a \over 2} . The pressure difference between the wide and narrow sections of pipe is 4100 Pa. At wider section, the velocity of fluid is x6{{\sqrt x } \over 6} ms −- 1 for x = ___________. (Given g = 10 ms −- 2)

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

From Bernoulli's equation

P1+12ρv12+ρgh1=P2+12ρv22+ρgh2{P_1} + {1 \over 2}\rho {v_1}^2 + \rho g{h_1} = {P_2} + {1 \over 2}\rho {v_2}^2 + \rho g{h_2}

P1−P2+ρg(h1−h2)=12ρ(v22−v12){P_1} - {P_2} + \rho g({h_1} - {h_2}) = {1 \over 2}\rho ({v_2}^2 - {v_1}^2) ...... (i)

Also, from equation of continuity

A1v1=A2v2{A_1}{v_1} = {A_2}{v_2}

Av1=A2v2A{v_1} = {A \over 2}{v_2}

v2=2v1{v_2} = 2{v_1} ...... (ii)

put equation (ii) in (i),

4100×800×10×1=12×800×(4v12−v12)4100 \times 800 \times 10 \times 1 = {1 \over 2} \times 800 \times (4{v_1}^2 - {v_1}^2)

4100+8000=400×3v124100 + 8000 = 400 \times 3{v_1}^2

v12=121003×400=12112{v_1}^2 = {{12100} \over {3 \times 400}} = {{121} \over {12}}

v1=12112{v_1} = \sqrt {{{121} \over {12}}}

Now, x6=12112{{\sqrt x } \over 6} = \sqrt {{{121} \over {12}}}

x36=12112{x \over {36}} = {{121} \over {12}}

x=121×3=363x = 121 \times 3 = 363

∴\therefore x=363x = 363
