    The document provides the solution to a physics problem about fluid flow in pipes. It uses the equations of continuity and Bernoulli's equation to calculate the flow speed and pressure in a smaller diameter pipe given the initial conditions in a larger pipe. The equations show that the flow speed increases and pressure decreases as the pipe diameter decreases. The calculated flow speed in the smaller pipe is 1.04 m/s and the pressure is 2.3 atm.

    Answer on Question #53365, Physics / Other

    Water circulates throughout the house in a hot-water heating system, if the water pumped at
    a speed of 0.40 m/s through a 4.2 cm diameter pipe in the basement under a pressure of 2.8 atm,
    what will be the flow speed and pressure in a 2.6 cm diameter pipe on the second floor 5.0m
    above?

    Solution:
    The equation of continuity states that for an incompressible fluid flowing in a tube of varying
    cross-section, the mass flow rate is the same everywhere in the tube. The mass flow rate is simply
    the rate at which mass flows past a given point, so it's the total mass flowing past divided by the
    time interval. The equation of continuity can be reduced to:
    𝐴1 𝑣1 = 𝐴2 𝑣2
    where A is the cross-sectional area, v is the velocity. The subscripts 1 and 2 refer to the initial
    conditions at ground level and the final conditions inside the nozzle, respectively.
    𝐴 = 𝜋𝑟 2
    Given:
    𝑣1 = 0.40 m/s,
    𝑟1 = 0.021 m,
    𝑟2 = 0.013 m,
    𝑣2 =? m/s,

    Thus,
    𝜋𝑟12 𝑣1 = 𝜋𝑟22 𝑣2
    So,
    𝑟1 2
    𝑣2 = ( ) 𝑣1
    𝑟2

    0.021 2
    𝑣2 = ( ) ∙ 0.40 = 𝟏. 𝟎𝟒 𝐦/𝐬
    0.013

    Bernoulli's equation is one of the most important/useful equations in fluid mechanics. It may
    be written,
    1
    𝑝 + 𝜌𝑣 2 + 𝜌𝑔ℎ = 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑡
    2
    where p is the pressure, ρ is the density, v is the velocity, h is the elevation, and g is the
    gravitational acceleration.
    1 1
    𝑝1 + 𝜌𝑣12 + 𝜌𝑔ℎ1 = 𝑝2 + 𝜌𝑣22 + 𝜌𝑔ℎ2
    2 2
    The subscripts 1 and 2 refer to the initial conditions at ground level and the final conditions
    inside the nozzle, respectively.
    Given:
    𝜌 = 1000 kg/m3 ,
    𝑣1 = 0.40 m/s,
    ℎ1 = 0,
    𝑝1 = 2.8 atm
    ℎ2 = 5.0 m,
    𝑝2 =?,
    1 1
    𝑝2 = 𝑝1 + 𝜌𝑣12 + 𝜌𝑔ℎ1 − 𝜌𝑣22 − 𝜌𝑔ℎ2
    2 2

    1 1
    𝑝2 = 𝑝1 + 𝜌 ( 𝑣12 − 𝑣22 − 𝑔ℎ2 )
    2 2
    Thus,
    1 1
    𝑝2 = 2.8 ∗ 105 + 1000 ∙ ( ∗ 0.42 − ∗ 1.042 − 9.81 ∙ 5.0) = 2.8 ∗ 105 − 49510.8 =
    2 2
    = 230489.2 Pa = 𝟐. 𝟑 𝐚𝐭𝐦

    Answer: 𝑣2 = 𝟏. 𝟎𝟒 𝐦/𝐬; 𝑝2 = 𝟐. 𝟑 𝐚𝐭𝐦
