Document Summary
#5: a glass tube with a 90o bend is open at both ends. It is inserted into a flowing stream of water so that one opening is directed upstream and the other is vertical. Step-1: problem statement: to calculate the free stream velocity (v1) Step-3: assumptions and approximations: the fluid is assumed to be incompressible and in steady state motion. C and the hydrostatic equation p z constat will be used for this problem. 2 s will be used for this problem. , at points 1 and 2 will allow us to relate the. 2 velocity at point 1 to the pressure at point 2. To find the pressure at point 2, we can use the hydrostatic equation: p. C applied at points 1 and 2, we find: Using z1 =z2 and v2 = 0 for the velocity at the stagnation point, we obtain.
