Question

A horizontal tube has different cross sections at point A and B. The areas of cross section are a1 and a2, respectively, and pressures at these points are p1=ρgh1 and p2=ρgh2, where ρ is the density of liquid flowing in the tube and h1 and h2 are heights of liquid column in vertical tubes connected at A and B. If h1h2=h, then the flow rate of the liquid in the horizontal tube is :

Solution

The correct option is A a1a22gha21a22
By Bernoulli's equation at A and B

P0+ρgh1+12ρV21=P0+ρgh2+12ρV22ρgh1+ρV212=ρgh2+ρV222ρg(h1h2)=ρ2(V22V21)2ρghρ=V22V21=2gh(1)

Flow rate =a1v1=a2v2

v1=a2v2a1(2)

From equation (1) and (2)

v22(a2v2a1)2=2ghv22[1a22a21]=2ghv22[a21a22a21]=2ghv22=a212gha21a22v2=a21(2gh)a21a22
Flow rate=a2v2=a1a22gha21a22
