Q：Please hlep me to understand which ans is correct.To determine the flow rate in Line AB. $$\mathrm{Known}：V_A,q,r_A = constant.$$ so/ select：## A,{B}^{\text{'}},B,A,## is control volume $${Q}_{AB}={Q}_{A{B}^{\text{'}}}=\iint _{A}^{}({V}_{A})dA={\int }_{{\theta }_{A}}^{{\theta...

Hello, I am currently working on a research project that involves filling a 10L tedlar bag with about* 8 liters of methane gas from a compressed gas cylinder. I'm trying to work out the best way to fill the bag with a reasonable degree of accuracy while also minimizing (or hopefully avoiding...

Hello all, I am currently building a test bench that can input a high amount of flow, pressure and temperature into an Air Cycle machine. The inlet to the machine requirements are: Flow = 71 lbs/min P = 48 PSIa T = 235 degree F Diameter = 3 inches In order to produce these conditions, I have...

In both the cases, the flow cross section area of the pipe is reduced.But in case of nozzles the velocity increases,pressure reduces and the flow rate is maintained.But in case of flow control valve, flow rate changes.(Assuming the fluid to be incompressible) Why is there a difference between...

Hey, I'm working on a project to build a drone which is powered through air jets. The drone needs a valve control system which can control the flow rate (hence the thrust) going to each nozzle in order to adjust it's altitude and stabilty. I need to set up a circuit which can electronically...

I have a question about the following scenario involving a flow separation issue in a pipe expansion The angle of the expansion is 30* - doubling the diameter from 1D to 2D We can consider this flow fully developed with a Reynolds of 5000+ Associated with this expansion is a head loss...

I know this is easy but i need to know the flow velocity through a pipe reducing in diameter inside a canal. the water velocity is 3m/s water depth is 1.5 m the pipe is at the bottom inlet diameter 0.9m small reduced diameter 0.6m outlet diameter = 0.8m note: this is an open canal with...

I have this problem and have been pulling what's left of my hair out: The Wivenhoe hydroelectric power station requires water to be pumped from Wivenhoe Dam to Splityard Creek Dam, using two pumps (each consuming 250 MW of power at 98% efficiency) to elevate the water approximately 70 m. At...

How exactly would you describe the principle of a valve for flow control? In a globe valve for example the fluid flows through valve seat and generally leaves the valve with the outlet diameter being the same as the inlet diameter. My original assumptions were that Bernoulli's principle...

Does anyone know of any good university labs that do research in flow control and its many applications? I know RPI has a flow control lab and Maryland does some research in this as well.

Homework Statement I have an experimental setup consisting of a 755ml stainless steel cylinder being fed with Hydrogen from atmospheric unitl 10 bar. I am using a Brooks Mass flow controller to measure and control the flow of Hydrogen into the cylinder while at the same time recording the flow...

hello i am a mech engg student, i have few doubts in fluid dynamics and thermal engg subjects.. i would like to be cleared of them by this discussion forums could anyone please explain the principle of flow control using valves...waiting for ...

Relevant question An energy flow control system is one where electrical signals are used to control the flow of energy. quite often electrical energy. A modern example of one such system is the manual control of the speed of a sewing machine motor by way of a foot opearated variable...
