Term
| WHAT IS THE EFFECT OF THE REDUCTION IN FLUID PRESSURE THAT RESULTS WHEN A FLUID FLOWS THROUGH A CONSTRICTED SECTION OF PIPE? |
|
Definition
| VENTURI EFFECT. THE VELOCITY OF THE FLUID INCREASES AS THE CROSS SECTIONAL AREA DECREASES, WITH PRESSURE CORRESPONDINGLY DECREASING. |
|
|
Term
| WHAT ARE VENTURI TUBE FLOWMETERS USED FOR? |
|
Definition
| TO MEASURE FLUID SPEED IN PIPES OR VESSELS. USES A U-SHAPED TUBE (MANOMETER) WITH ONE END CONNECTED TO THE SMALLER VESSEL AND THE OTHER CONNECTED TO THE LARGER VESSEL (PRESSURE DIFFERENTIAL). |

Term
| DOES FLUIDS WITH HIGH VISCOSITY FLOW READILY? |
|
Definition
| NO. FLUIDS WITH LOW VISCOSITY (WATER) FLOW MORE EASILY. |
|
|
Term
| WHAT IS REQUIRED TO MAINTAIN THE FLOW OF A REAL FLUID THROUGH A VESSEL? |
|
Definition
| FORCE. THE FORCE REQUIRED TO MAINTAIN FLOW IS GENERATED BY THE PRESSURE DIFFERENTIAL OVER THE LENGTH OF THE VESSEL. |
|
|
Term
| THE PRESSURE DIFFERENTIAL REQUIRED TO MAINTAIN FLOW IS DIRECTLY PROPORTIONAL TO WHAT? |
|
Definition
| LENGTH OF THE VESSEL, SPEED OF THE FLUID, AND FLUID VISCOSITY. |
|
|
Term
| THE PRESSURE DIFFERENTIAL REQUIRED TO MAINTAIN FLOW IS INVERSELY PROPORTIONAL TO WHAT? |
|
Definition
| CROSS-SECTIONAL AREA OF THE VESSEL |
|
|
Term
| WHAT IS THE VISCOSITY EQUATION? |
|
Definition
| FLOW RATE= (P1-P2)(PIE)R4/8NL N=VISCOSITY, L= LENGTH. THUS FLOW IS DIRECTLY PROPORTIONAL TO THE PRESSURE GRADIENT AND RADIUS. INVERSELY PROPORTIONAL TO VISCOSITY AND LENGTH |
