Pressure and incompressible

The deepest point known in any of earth's oceans is in the Marianas Tench, 10.92 km deep.

a) Assuming water is incompressible, what is the pressure at this depth? Use the density of seawater.

b) The actual pressure is 1.16 X 108 Pa your calculation will be less because the density actually varies with depth. Using the compressibility of water and the actualpressure, find the density of the water at the bottom of the Marianas Trench. What is the percent change in the density of the water?

The answer to a is 1.0712 x 10^8 Pa.
What is b?

Expert Solution

(1) We know that
pressure= pgh
where p is the density , g is the acceleration due to gravity and h is the height or depth
Pressure (P) = 1025*9.81*10.92*10³ = 1.098*10⁸ Pa
(2) We know that
compressibility = volumetric strain /Pressure = (dV/V) /P
dV = V_S - V_D
where V_S is the volume at surface and V_D is the volume at depth
Compressiblity = (V_S - V_D) /V_S*P = (1-V_D/V_S) /P
(1-V_D/V_S) = Compressibility*Pressure
(1-p_s /p_D) = 45.8*10^-11*(1.16*10⁸ Pa)
p_s = 1025 kg/m³
p_D = 1082.511 kg/m³
(3)
percentage change in the density = (p_D - p_s / p_s )*100 = ((1082.511 - 1025) / 1025)*100 = 5.61%

The pressure drop per unit length of a pipe, dl/dp , for steady, incompressible viscous flow through a straight horizontal pipe depends on the average velocity, V, density of fluid, p, fluid viscosity, µ, pipe diameter, D, and the roughness height, ks. Determine the dimensionless groups that can be used to correlate the data.

The stream function for an incompressible flow is given by Y(x,y) = 2x2 – 2y2 – xy. Determine if this flow satisfies the equation of continuity (the mass balance). On the graph below (or on your own paper), pick a point in each quadrant and determine the magnitude and direction of the velocity at that point. Indicate the magnitude and direction by drawing an arrow on the graph for each point. Use numbers.
