Acceleration in X Direction given Average Velocity in Nozzle Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Acceleration in X Direction = (Outlet Velocity-Inlet Velocity)/(Length of Nozzle/Average Velocity)
a_x = (U_outlet-U_inlet)/(ΔX/U_Avg)
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Acceleration in X Direction - (Measured in Meter per Square Second) - Acceleration in X Direction is the net acceleration in x direction.
Outlet Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Outlet Velocity is defined as the velocity of fluid coming out of the vessel or nozzle.
Inlet Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Inlet Velocity is defined as the velocity of fluid going in the vessel or nozzle.
Length of Nozzle - (Measured in Meter) - Length of Nozzle is defined as the length of the nozzle in which the fluid is flowing.
Average Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Average Velocity is defined as the ratio of the total distance travelled in a specified direction to the total time taken by the body to travel the distance.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Outlet Velocity: 2.13 Meter per Second --> 2.13 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Inlet Velocity: 1.95 Meter per Second --> 1.95 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Length of Nozzle: 0.3 Meter --> 0.3 Meter No Conversion Required
Average Velocity: 1.96 Meter per Second --> 1.96 Meter per Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

a_x = (U_outlet-U_inlet)/(ΔX/U_Avg) --> (2.13-1.95)/(0.3/1.96)

Evaluating ... ...

What is Fluid Mechanics?

Fluid dynamics is “the branch of applied science that is concerned with the movement of liquids and gases”. It involves a wide range of applications such as calculating force & moments, determining the mass flow rate of petroleum through pipelines, predicting weather patterns, understanding nebulae in interstellar space, and modelling fission weapon detonation.

What is Fluid Kinematics?

Fluid kinematics is the branch of fluid mechanics in which the study of the different fluid flows is carried out but without the help of the causing parameters. Fluid Kinematics deals with the motion of fluids, such as displacement, velocity, acceleration, and other aspects. Kinematics is the branch of classical mechanics that describes the motion of bodies and systems without consideration of the forces that cause the motion. there are various types of flow: steady and unsteady flow, compressible and incompressible, uniform and non-uniform, rotational and irrotational.

How to Calculate Acceleration in X Direction given Average Velocity in Nozzle?

Acceleration in X Direction given Average Velocity in Nozzle calculator uses Acceleration in X Direction = (Outlet Velocity-Inlet Velocity)/(Length of Nozzle/Average Velocity) to calculate the Acceleration in X Direction, The Acceleration in X Direction given Average Velocity in Nozzle formula is defined as the function of outlet velocity and inlet velocity of fluid, length of nozzle and average of the outlet and inlet velocities. Fluid particles are accelerated through the nozzle at nearly five times the acceleration of gravity (almost five g’s)! This simple example clearly illustrates that the acceleration of a fluid particle can be nonzero, even in steady flow. Note that the acceleration is actually a point function, whereas we have estimated a simple average acceleration through the entire nozzle. Acceleration in X Direction is denoted by a_x symbol.

How to calculate Acceleration in X Direction given Average Velocity in Nozzle using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Acceleration in X Direction given Average Velocity in Nozzle, enter Outlet Velocity (U_outlet), Inlet Velocity (U_inlet), Length of Nozzle (ΔX) & Average Velocity (U_Avg) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Acceleration in X Direction given Average Velocity in Nozzle calculation can be explained with given input values -> 1.176 = (2.13-1.95)/(0.3/1.96).
