6.53 A body having the general shape of a half-body is placed in a stream of fluid. Ata great distance upstream the velocity is U as shown in Fig. P6.53. Show how a measurement of the dif- ferential pressure between the stagnation point ‘and point A can be used to predict the free-stream velocity, U. Express the pressure differential in terms of U and fluid density. Neglect body forces and assume that the fluid is nonviscous and in- compressible FIGURE P6.53 Write Bernoullé eguation between stagnation port anc point A +e obtain Loy* bags Bt HP Als » 2 v2 (ier cos6 + %) 4 R and 6 (7-8) & sine At pest A 622 so that blr- _ wb = = = A sat or ee uO Substitution of EZ (2) site Ep b.to1 yelds 4 Vrs ut(ir or 4 and therefore trom Eg. a) Ee Thus, z Pp, -PF 0.703 PU stag "A a) (£3 6. 101) (£4, 6.100) 62) Pez Br $pu* (i+ #) = B vomapr™
