To solve the problem, we need to find the rate of flow of glycerin through a conical pipe given the density, cross-sectional areas, and pressure drop. Let's break this down step by step.
Step 1: Understand the given data
- Density of glycerin, ρ = 1.25 × 103 kg/m3
- Area at one end of the pipe, A1 = 10 cm2 = 10 × 10-4 m2 = 1 × 10-3 m2
- Area at the other end of the pipe, A2 = 5 cm2 = 5 × 10-4 m2
- Pressure drop, ΔP = 3 N/m2
Step 2: Apply the continuity equation
Using the principle of conservation of mass, we can apply the continuity equation:
A1v1 = A2v2
From this, we can express v2 in terms of v1:
v2 = (A1/A2)v1 = (10 × 10-4 / 5 × 10-4)v1 = 2v1
Step 3: Apply Bernoulli's equation
According to Bernoulli's equation, we have:
P1 + (1/2)ρv12 = P2 + (1/2)ρv22
Rearranging gives us:
P1 - P2 = (1/2)ρ(v22 - v12)
Substituting ΔP = P1 - P2 = 3 N/m2 and v2 = 2v1:
3 = (1/2)ρ((2v1)2 - v12)
3 = (1/2)ρ(4v12 - v12) = (1/2)ρ(3v12)
3 = (3/2)ρv12
Step 4: Solve for v1
Substituting the value of ρ:
3 = (3/2)(1.25 × 103)v12
3 = (3 × 1.25 × 103 / 2)v12
v12 = (3 × 2) / (3 × 1.25 × 103) = 2 / (1.25 × 103)
v12 = 2 / 1250 = 1 / 625 (m/s)2
v1 = √(1/625) = 1/25 = 0.04 m/s
Step 5: Calculate the rate of flow
The rate of flow Q is given by:
Q = A1v1
Substituting A1 = 1 × 10-3 m2 and v1 = 0.04 m/s:
Q = (1 × 10-3)(0.04) = 4 × 10-5 m3/s
Step 6: Express in terms of x
The rate of flow is given as x × 10-5 m3/s:
Q = 4 × 10-5 ⇒ x = 4
Final Answer
The value of x is 4.
