A Pitot-static tube is used to measure the velocity of helium in a pipe. The temperature and pressure are 44oF and 24 psia. A water manometer connected to the Pitot-static tube indicates a reading of 3.0 in. (a) Determine the helium velocity. (b) Is it reasonable to consider the flow as incompressible?

Part A:

Part B:

Ma=0.0737

Since Ma<0.3, it means the flow is in compressible.

Explanation:

Part A:

According to Bernoulli equation:

Velocity will become:

.........Eq (1)

Now, can be calculated from the specific weight of water and helium

Since the specific weight of helium is much smaller than specific weight of water we can neglect the specific weight of helium.

=

For water,

h=3.0 in

Density of helium:

T=460+44=504 degree R

R=

From Eq (1):

Part B:

Checking Ma:

c is speed of sound:

k=1.66 for helium, In ideal gases:

Since Ma<0.3, it means the flow is in compressible.

32: from largest to smallest, this hierarchy includes eons, eras, periods, epochs, and ages.

33: answer is c

i really hope this answer you out! it makes my day people like you and giving back to the community that has me through school! if you could do me a favor, if this you and this is the very best answer and you understand that all of my answers are legit and top notch. mark as brainliest! and have a awesome day!
