After instantaneously closing a valve located at the end of a steel pipe of 50 mm inner diameter and 8 mm wall thickness, it is measured an increase of pressure of 10 atm. Determine the water flow rate before closing the valveSolution
Assuming no loss due to friction in steel pipe , all the velocity head converts into pressure head upon closing of the valve.
Therefore using bernoullis equation.
change in pressure = 0.5 * rho * v^2
10 * 101.325 * 10^3 = 0.5 * 10^3 * v^2
v = 45.0166 m/s
flow rate = pi * d^2 * v / 4 = pi * 0.05^2 * 45.0166 / 4 = 0.0884 m^3/s
