Question

Air flows along a horizontal, curved streamline with a 20 foot radius with a speed of 100 ft/s. Determine the pressure gradient normal to the streamline.

Answer 1

- 1.19 lb/ft^3

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given the following information;

Radius r = 20 ft

Speed V = 100 ft/s

You should use Bernoulli equation pertaining to streamline. That is, normal to streamline.

The pressure gradient = dp/dn

Where air density rho = 0.00238 slugs per cubic foot.
