Question: For the flow shown in Fig. P 3 . 6 8 , estimate the pressure P 1 and velocity V 1 if V 2 =

For the flow shown in Fig. P3.68, estimate the pressure P1 and velocity V1 if V2=20ms and H=10cm.(Hg= The
Symbol of Mercury). DO NOT ANSWER, BUT EXPALIN THE MANOMETER EQUATION USING THE
IMAGE BELOW AND ANSWER THE QUESTION
H=10cm=0.10m
Hg=13.6w
w=1
V2=20ms
V1=
Bernoulli's Equation:
P1+V122g+z1=P2+V222g+z2
P1+V122g=V222g
Manometer Equation:
P1+w(h-H)+HgH=P2+V222g*w+wh
P1+wh-wH+HgH=P2+V222g*w+wh
P1-wH+HgH=V222g*w
ANSWER
THESE
QUESTION
Define a manometer. Why is pitot
tube added in this problem? Why
did they add mercury into the Pitot
tube? In context of this question,
how does the manometer function?
Why do we consider the velocity
head for the manometer equation?
Why is the velocity head multiplied
by the specific weight of water?
How does this have to do anything
with the picture? Try to organize
your thoughts and provide a detail
response. Please relate to the
picture.
IMPORTANT: I NEED TO
KNOW WHY VELOCITY HEAD
IS THERE? WHY IS THE
SPECIFC WEIGHT OF WATER
MULTIPLED WITH VELOCITY
HEAD? WHERE IN THE
PICTURE WOULD WE KNOW
TO ADD VELOCITY HEAD?
Substitution of Manometer Equation into Bernoulli's Equation:
For the flow shown in Fig. P 3 . 6 8 , estimate
