Velocity at section 2-2 for sudden contraction Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Velocity of Fluid at Section 2 = (sqrt(Loss of Head Sudden Contraction*2*[g]))/((1/Coefficient of Contraction in Pipe)-1)
V₂' = (sqrt(h_c*2*[g]))/((1/C_c)-1)
This formula uses 1 Constants, 1 Functions, 3 Variables

Constants Used

[g] - Gravitational acceleration on Earth Value Taken As 9.80665

Functions Used

sqrt - A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number., sqrt(Number)

Variables Used

Velocity of Fluid at Section 2 - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Velocity of fluid at section 2 is the flow velocity of the liquid flowing in a pipe at a particular section considered as section 2.
Loss of Head Sudden Contraction - (Measured in Meter) - The Loss of Head Sudden Contraction is the energy loss caused due to the contraction on flow through pipes.
Coefficient of Contraction in Pipe - Coefficient of contraction in pipe is defined as the ratio between the area of the jet at the vena contracta and the area of the orifice.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Loss of Head Sudden Contraction: 0.19 Meter --> 0.19 Meter No Conversion Required
Coefficient of Contraction in Pipe: 0.6 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

V₂' = (sqrt(h_c*2*[g]))/((1/C_c)-1) --> (sqrt(0.19*2*[g]))/((1/0.6)-1)

Evaluating ... ...

V₂' = 2.8956321848605

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

2.8956321848605 Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

2.8956321848605 ≈ 2.895632 Meter per Second <-- Velocity of Fluid at Section 2
