Continuity Equation - Ideal fluids exhibit the following characteristics: non-turbulent flows, steady- state flow, non-viscous and incompressible. - For a fluid flowing through a pipe, the 𝑑𝑉 volume flow rate is constant as given by 𝑑𝑡 𝑑𝑉 Av (i.e. = Av), where A is the cross- 𝑑𝑡 sectional are and v is the flow speed. - In a varying cross-sectional area, the continuity equation is given by: 𝐴1 𝑣1 = 𝐴2 𝑣2
Example: in a water treatment facility, water is
flowing at a steady rate in a pipe with a varying circular cross section. A. If the radius of the pipe at a certain point is 0.1 m, what is the speed of the water at this point if water is flowing through the pipe at the rate of 0.055 m3/S? B. Suppose at a different section of the pipe, the water speed is 3.00 m/s. what is the radius of the pipe at this point? Bernoulli’s Equation - This equation relates pressure, flow velocity, and height for flow of an ideal fluid. 1 1 - 𝑃1 + 2 𝑝𝑣12 + 𝑝𝑔𝑦1 = 𝑃2 + 2 𝑝𝑣22 + 𝑝𝑔𝑦2 - When a moving fluid enters a narrower section of pipe, its speed increases but the pressure on the fluid decreases.
