For the pipe-fl ow-reducing section of Fig. P3.54, D 1 5 8 cm, D 2 5 5 cm, and p 2 5 1 atm. All fl uids are at 20 8 C. If V 1 5 5 m/s and the manometer reading is h 5 58 cm, estimate the total force resisted by the fl ange bolts.

The total force resisted by the flange bolts is  163.98 N

Solution

The first step is to find  the pipe cross section at the inlet section

Now,

A₁ = π /4 D₁²

D₁ =  diameter of the pipe at the inlet section

Now we insert 8 cm for D₁ which gives us A₁ = π /4 D (8)²

=50.265 cm² * ( 1 m²/100² cm²)

= 5.0265 * 10^⁻³ m²

Secondly, we find cross section area of  the pipe at the inlet section

A₂ = π /4 D₂²

D₂ =  diameter of the pipe at the inlet section

Now we insert 5 cm for D₁ which gives us A₁ = π /4 D (5)²

= 19.63 cm² * ( 1 m²/100² cm²)

= 1.963 * 10^⁻³ m²

Now,

we write down the conversation mass relation which is stated as follows:

Q₁ = Q₂

Where Q₁ and Q₂ are both the flow rate at the exist and inlet.

We now insert A₁V₁ for Q₁ and A₂V₂ for Q₂

So,

V₁ and V₂ are defined as the velocities at the inlet and exit

We now insert 5.0265 * 10^⁻³ m² for A₁ 5 m/s for V₁ and 1.963 * 10^⁻³ m² for A₂

= 5.0265  * 5 = 1.963 * V₂

V₂ = 12.8 m/s
