Question: 3 . 1 1 . Air flows through a converging pipe section, as shown in Fig. P 3 . 1 1 . Since the centerline

3.11. Air flows through a converging pipe section, as shown in Fig. P3.11. Since the centerline of
the duct is horizontal, the change in potential energy is zero. The Pitot probe at the upstream
station provides a measure of the total pressure (or stagnation pressure). The downstream
end of the U-tube provides a measure of the static pressure at the second station. Assum-
ing the density of air to be 0.00238 slug/ft3 and neglecting the effects of viscosity, com-
pute the volumetric flow rate in ft3s. The fluid in the manometer is unity weight oil
slug (:ft3
