Water flows through a converging pipe at a mass flow rate of 25 kg/s. If the inside diameter of the pipes sections are 7.0 cm and 5.0 cm, find the volume flow rate and the average velocity in each pipe section.

volumetric flow rate =

Velocity in pipe section 1 =

velocity in pipe section 2 = 12.79 m/s

Explanation:

We can obtain the volume flow rate from the mass flow rate by utilizing the fact that the fluid has the same density when measuring the mass flow rate and the volumetric flow rates.

The density of water is = 997 kg/m³

density = mass/ volume

since we are given the mass, therefore, the  volume will be mass/density

25/997 =

volumetric flow rate =

Average velocity calculations:

Pipe section A:

cross-sectional area =

mass flow rate = density X cross-sectional area X velocity

velocity = mass flow rate /(density X cross-sectional area)

Pipe section B:

cross-sectional area =

mass flow rate = density X cross-sectional area X velocity

velocity = mass flow rate /(density X cross-sectional area)
