method, a tube with an internal diameter of 1.5mm is immersed to a depth of 1.25cm in
the oil. Air is forced through the tube forming a bubble pressure of 147pa?

Question 10 Find the convecting acceleration at the middle of a pipe which

converges uniformly from 0.6 m diameter to 0.3 diameter over the 3m length
 The rate of flow is 40 liter/s . if the rate of flow change uniformly from 40 liter/s to
80 liter/s in 40 second find the total acceleration at the middle of the pipe at 20 th
second?

Solution : local acceleration = rate of change of velocity

Diameter at X-X = d1 +(d2 –d1 ) ×x/L

At 1.5 m
D1.5d =0.6 + (0.3-0.6)/2
=0.45m
V1 = 0.04/ (3.14/4) × (0.45)2 =0.25m/s
V2 =0.08/(3.14/4)× (0.45)2 =0.503m/s
local acceleration =V2 - V1 / 40 = 6.3 × 10-3 m/sec2
total acceleration = 0.1125+0.0063 =0.118m/sec2

case 1: Q= 0.04m3 /sec

V1= Q/a1 = 0.04/(3.14/4×(0.6)2) = 0.14147m/sec
V2 = Q/a2 = 0.04/(3.14/4× (0.3)2) = 0.5658m/sec

Vx-x = V1 + (V2 - V1) X x/ L

Case 2: Q= 40 litres to 80 litres

Total acceleration = convection acceleration + local acceleration
Qat 20 sec = 0.04 + (0.08- 0.04)/ 40 × 20
= 0.04 + 0.02 = 0.06 m3/sec
V1 = Q/a1 = 0.06/( 3.14/4)× 0.62 = 0.2122m/sec
V2 = Q/a2 = 0.06/(3.14/4) × 0.32 = 0.8488m/sec
