Question

An incompressible liquid with negligible viscosity and density ρ=1250kg/m3\rho=1250 \mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3} flows steadily through a 5-m-long convergent-divergent section of pipe for which the area varies as A(x)=A0(1+ex/aex/2a)A(x)=A_{0}\left(1+e^{-x / a}-e^{-x / 2 a}\right) where A0=0.25m2A_{0}=0.25 \mathrm{m}^{2} and a=1.5 m. Plot the area for the first 5 m. Develop an expression for and plot the pressure gradient and pressure versus position along the pipe, for the first 5 m, if the inlet centerline velocity is 10 m/s and inlet pressure is 300 kPa. Hint: Use relation uux=12x(u2)u \frac{\partial u}{\partial x}=\frac{1}{2} \frac{\partial}{\partial x}\left(u^{2}\right).

Given:\textbf{Given:}

A(x)=A0(1+exaex2a)\begin{align*} A(x)&= A_0(1+e^{\dfrac{-x}{a}}-e^{\dfrac{-x}{2a}}) \end{align*}

Where,

A=0.25m2a=1.5mu0=10msp0=300kPa\begin{align*} A&= 0.25\hspace{0.1cm} \text{m}^2\\ a&= 1.5\hspace{0.1cm} \text{m}\\ u_0&= 10 \hspace{0.1cm} \frac{\text{m}}{\text{s}}\\ p_0&= 300 \hspace{0.1cm} \text{kPa} \end{align*}

Find:\textbf{Find:}

Plot the area for the first 5 m. Develop an expression for and plot the pressure gradient and pressure versus position along the pipe, for the first 5 m.
