Question
The velocity field of a certain two dimensional flow is given by V (x, y )= k (xi−yj) where k = 2 / s and x and y are in meters. If the fluid density is 100 kg/m3 and pressure at origin is 10 kPa, what is the pressure at point (3,3)?
A.
3.2 kPa
B.
6.4 kPa
C.
1.6 kPa
D.
None
Correct option is B
∙Velocity field: V(x,y)=k(xi^−yj^)∙k=2s−1∙Fluid density: ρ=100kg/m3∙Pressure at origin (0,0):P0=10kPa=10000Pa∙Find pressure at point (3,3)
Assuming steady, incompressible, inviscid, irrotational flow, we use Bernoulli’s equation:P+21ρV2=constantApply this between the origin and point (3,3):P1+21ρV12=P2+21ρV22Compute VelocitiesAt origin (0,0):V1=k(0i^−0j^)=0=>V1=0At point (3,3):V2=k(3i^−3j^)=2(3i^−3j^)=6i^−6j^V2=62+(−6)2=36+36=72=62m/sApply Bernoulli EquationP1=10000Pa,V1=0,V2=6210000+0=P2+21⋅100⋅(62)210000=P2+50⋅72=P2+3600P2=10000−3600=6400Pa=6.4kPa
