Question

Two tubes of length l1 ,l2 and radius r1,r2 are connected in series, and allowed to carry a liquid η through it. If p1 and p2 are the pressure at the two extreme ends, calculate the pressure at the junction.

Open in App
Solution

dvdt=πr4(ΔP)8ηl
η- coeffiecient of viscosity
Let the pressure of the junction is P
Since the pipe is connected to each other then rate of flow must be same.
(dvdt)1=(dvdt)2πr41(P1P)8ηl1πr42(PP2)8ηl2l1r41(P1P)=l2r42(PP2)l2r41P1l2r41P=l1r42Pl2r42P(r41l2+r42l1)P=r41l2P1+r42l1P2P=r41l2P1+r42l1P2r41l2+r42l1
