An ideal fluid is moving at 3.0 m/s in a section of a pipe of radius 0.20 m. If the radius in another section is 0.35 m, what is the flow speed there

The flow speed of the fluid in the second section of the pipe is 0.98 m/s

What is flow speed?

Flow speed is the rate at which the distance of a fluid changes with respect to time as it moves in a pipe.

To calculate the flow speed in the second section, we use the formula below.

Formula:

  • AV = A'V'............ Equation 1

Where:

  • A = Cross-sectional area of the first  section of the pipe
  • V = Velocity of fluid in the first  section of the pipe
  • A' = cross-sectional area in the second  section of the pipe
  • V' = Velocity of fluid in the second section of the pipe.

Make V' the subject of the equation

  • V' = AV/A'......... Equation 2

From the question,

Given:

  • A = πR² = 0.04π m²
  • V = 3 m/s
  • A' = πr² = (0.35²×π) = 0.1225π m²

Substitute these values into equation 2

  • V' = 3(0.04π)/(0.1225π)
  • V' = 0.98 m/s

Hence, The flow speed of the fluid in the second section of the pipe is 0.98 m/s
