Air flows through a heating duct with a square cross-section with 9-inch sides at a speed of 6.1 ft/s. Just before reaching an outlet in the floor of a room, the duct widens to assume a square cross-section with sides equal to 13 inches. Compute the speed of the air flowing into the room (in ft/s), assuming that we can treat the air as an incompressible fluid.

2.9237 ft/s

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

A₁ = 9-inch × 9-inch = 81 in² = 81 / 144 = 0.5625 ft²

V₁ = 6.1 ft/s

A₂ = 13 in × 13 in = 169 in² = 1.17361 ft²

v₂ = ?

using the the equation if continuity

( Rate of volumetric flow is constant )

A₁V₁ = A₂V₂

we substitute

0.5625 ft² × 6.1 ft/s = 1.17361 ft² × V₂

3.43125 ft³/s = 1.17361 ft² × V₂  

V₂  = 3.43125 ft³/s  / 1.17361 ft²

V₂ = 2.9237 ft/s

Therefore, the speed of the air flowing into the room is 2.9237 ft/s

the warning light flashes for a second or two when the engine starts. if it stays on, there's must be something wrong with the coolant. you should never dare to continue driving when the light is on. pull over as soon as possible and shut the engine off.

hope this is what you're talking about
