Q. A pitot-static tube is used to estimate the velocity of an incompressible fluid of density 1 kg/m3. If the pressure difference measured by the tube is 200 N/m2, the velocity of the fluid, assuming the pitot-tube coefficient to be 1.0, is m/s.
Sol:
Given that, density = 1 kg/m3
Pressure difference (ΔP) = 200 N/m2
pitot tube co-efficient = 1.0
