Document Summary

Midterm examination - october 2003 (l l/2 hrs. ) Please use both sides of thb page in the answbr booklet. The drawing shows the cross-section of a small, open-circuit wind tunnel. The air flow is pulled through the wind tunnel by the fan located downstream of the test section. The wind tunnel draws air from the laboratory throught the bellmouth inlet and discharges it again to the laboratory at the diffuser outlet. Assume that the flow is one-dimensional and that the density of the air is constant throughout the wind tunnel. The fluid in the manometers is water with a density of 1000 kg/mj (a) Can bernoulli"s equation be applied between the following points in the flow. P " r " = 1 0 1 0 0 0 p a. 6 a--t: ( n o t t o s c a l e ) Neglect the weight of the piping and the weight of the water inside it.
