1. Air flows steadily between two cross sections in a long, straight section of 0.1-m inside-
diameter pipe. The static temperature and pressure at each section are indicated in figure. If
the average air velocity at section (1) is 205 m/s, determine the average air velocity at section
(2).
To determine , we use the ideal gas equation assuming air behaves as an ideal gas.

3. A circular plate having a diameter of 300 mm is held
perpendicular to an axisymmetric HORIZONTAL jet
of air having a velocity of 40 m/s and a diameter of

80 mm as shown in Figure. A hole at the center of
the plate results in a discharge jet of air having a
velocity of 40 m/s and a diameter of 20 mm.

Determine the horizontal component of force
required to hold the plate stationary.
• Boundary conditions
At section (1): , , ( m/s)
At section (2): , , ( m/s)
Then,
(No horizontal component at upper and lower sections)

In order to determine A2, let’s use the linear momentum eq. along y-axis,
y-component: ( )

To determine the direction of flow we will assume an arbitrary direction, use the energy equation,
and calculate the head loss. Always, Head loss = 0
Therefore, if the head loss is positive, our assumed direction of flow is correct.
If the head loss is negative, our assumed direction of flow is wrong.
So, assuming the flow is from right to left or from point (1) to point (2) in the figure.
