EMM 312: Fluid Mechanics III Continuous Assessment Test II

Continuous assessment test on compressible flow. Derives Bernoulli's equation for frictionless adiabatic flow of a compressible fluid through a horizontal pipe, defining the adiabatic index, pressure, mass density and velocity. The calculation is a horizontal air venturimeter in a pipe line of given diameter with a fifty millimetre throat, where the mass flow rate follows from the absolute inlet and throat pressures, the inlet temperature, a discharge coefficient of one, the gas constant of two hundred and eighty-seven and an adiabatic index of one point four.
