Water flows through a rubber hose 2 cm in diameter at a velocity of 4 m/s. What is the rate of flow rate of flow in m^3/min?(a) 0.0754 m^3/min(b) 0.0750 m^3/min(c) 0.0764 m^3/min(d) 0.0760 m^3/minThis question was posed to me in examination.The origin of the question is Fluids in Motion topic in section Fluid Flow and Mixing of Bioprocess Engineering |
Answer» RIGHT OPTION is (a) 0.0754 m^3/min For EXPLANATION: R = v1A1 = v2A2 R = v1A1; A1 = \(\frac{\pi d_2^1}{4}\) R1 = v1 \(\frac{\pi d_2^1}{4} = \frac{(4 \frac{m}{s})\pi(0.02 m)^2}{4}\) R1 = 0.00126 m^3/s R1 = \(0.00126 \frac{m^3}{min} (\frac{1 min}{60 s})\) R1 = 0.0754 m^3/min. |
