A viscous fluid is flowing through two horizontal pipes. the pressure difference p2 - p1 between the ends of each pipe is the same. the pipes have the same radius, although one is twice as long as the other. how does the volume flow rate Qb in the longer pipe compare with the rate Qa in the shorter pipe? (A) Qb is the same as Qa (B) Qb is twice as large as Qa (C) Qb is four times as large as Qa (D) Qb is one half as large as Qa (E) Qb is one fourth as large as Qa

Expert Solution

Qb is one-half as large as Qa. A longer pipe offers a greater resistance to the flow of a viscous fluid than a shorter pipe does. The volume flow rate depends inversely on the length of the pipe. For a given pipe radius and pressure difference between the ends of the pipe, the volume flow rate is less in longer pipes. In this case the longer pipe is twice as long, so its volume flow rate Q_B is one-half that of Q_A.

A process to remove contaminant A includes two independent pipes flowing into a cylindrical reactor, and a single outlet port. The reactor has a diameter of 2.8 m and a height of 2 m. The flow in the larger of the inlet pipes is 2.5 m3/s and contains 50 μg/L of A. The smaller pipe also carries contaminant A at a rate of 5x104 μg/s. Under these conditions, the reactor’s outlet flow is 3.25 m3/s. Assuming that the removal of...
