Smoothlycontouredplugofdiameterd=40mm
isheldintheendofthetubewherethewaterdischargestotheatmosphere
Frictionaleffectsneglected.
Velocityprofilesuniformateachsection.

Find:a)Pressuremeasuredbythegageshown.
b)Forcerequiredholdingplug.

Solution:

Assumptions:1)Steadyflow
2)Incompressibleflow
3)Nofriction
4)Flowalongastreamline
5)z=0
6)Weusethepressuregage

a) Basicequation:

Byapplyingtheassumptions,thisequationbecomes:

Fromcontinuityforuniformflow,
So, 7 19.4
