How high should the pressure head be if water is to come from a faucet at a speed of \({\bf{9}}{\bf{.2\;m/}}{{\bf{s}}^{\bf{2}}}\) Ignore viscosity.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The height of pressure head is\(4.31\;\;{\rm{m}}\).

Step by step solution

01

Understanding about the Bernoulli’s equation

Whenever a liquid flows with a specific flow rate through a pipe/tube, then the flow parameters like velocity, pressure, and many more, can obtain with the help of Bernoulli's equation.

Bernoulli's equation consists of energy in the form of pressure, kinetic, and datum heads.

02

Identification of given data

The speed of water is \({v_1} = 9.2\;{\rm{m/s}}\).

03

Determination of the pressure head

According to Bernoulli’s equation, as the pressure head and faucet are at atmospheric pressure then the equation can be given by,

\(\begin{array}{c}\left( {{P_0} + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_1^2 + \rho g{y_1}} \right) = \left( {{P_0} + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2 + \rho g{y_2}} \right)\\\left( {\frac{1}{2}\rho v_1^2 + \rho g{y_1}} \right) = \left( {\frac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2 + \rho g{y_2}} \right)\\\left( {\frac{1}{2}v_1^2 + g{y_1}} \right) = \left( {\frac{1}{2}v_2^2 + g{y_2}} \right)\end{array}\)

Here, \({P_0}\) is the atmospheric pressure, \(\rho \) is the density, \(g\) is the gravitational acceleration \(\left( {g = 9.81\;{\rm{m/}}{{\rm{s}}^{\rm{2}}}} \right)\), \({y_1}\) is the datum head \(\left( {{y_1} = 0} \right)\), \({y_2}\) is the required pressure head, \({v_2}\) if the final velocity of water when comes to rest \(\left( {{v_2} = 0} \right)\).

Substitute all the known values in the above expression.

\(\begin{array}{c}\left( {\frac{1}{2}\left( {v_1^2} \right) + g(0\;{\rm{m}})} \right) = \left( {\frac{1}{2}{{(0\;{\rm{m/s}})}^2} + g{y_2}} \right)\\\frac{1}{2}\left( {v_1^2} \right) = g{y_2}\\{y_2} = \frac{{{v_1}^2}}{{2g}}\end{array}\)

After solving the above expression,

\(\begin{array}{c}{y_2} = \frac{{{{(9.2\;{\rm{m}}/{\rm{s}})}^2}}}{{2\left( {9.81\;{\rm{m}}/{{\rm{s}}^2}} \right)}}\\ = 4.31\;\;{\rm{m}}\end{array}\)

Thus, the required height of pressure head is \(4.31\;\;{\rm{m}}\).

(III) A patient is to be given a blood transfusion. The blood is to flow through a tube from a raised bottle to a needle inserted in the vein (Fig. 10–55). The inside diameter of the 25-mm-long needle is 0.80 mm, and the required flow rate is \(2.0\;{\rm{c}}{{\rm{m}}^3}\) of blood per minute. How high h should the bottle be placed above the needle? Obtain \(\rho \) and \(\eta \) from the Tables. Assume the blood pressure is 78 torr above atmospheric pressure.
