A pitot tube is inserted in a ventilation duct with the nose facing the air flow. A vertical U-tube manometer filled with alcohol (specific gravity 0.8) has been used for pressure measurements such that 10.2 mm is read as the total pressure and 8.8 mm as the static pressure. Given the density of air to be 1.2 kg/m3, the air velocity at the nose of the pitot tube in m/s is
What does a pitot tube measure? Upon which principle does a pitot tube work?
Air flows through a 10 cm internal diameter tube at the rate of 75 kg/hr. Measurements indicate that at a particular point in the tube, the pressure and temperature of air are 1.5 bar and 325 K whilst the tube wall temperature is 375 K. Find heat transfer rate from one meter length in the region of this point The general non-dimensional correlation for turbulent flow in the tube is Nu = 0.023 (Re) 0.8 (Pr) 0.4 Where the fluid properties are evaluated at the bulk temperature

Various measurements are made on an NMOS amplifier for which the drain resistor RD is 20 kΩ. First, DC measurements show the voltage across the drain resistor, VRD, to be 2 V and the gate-to-source bias voltage to be 1.2 V. Then, ac measurements with small signals show the voltage gain to be −10 V/V. What is the value of Vt for this transistor?
