For compressible flow also, we can calculate velocity with the Pitot and static pressure found.

For compressible flow also, we can calculate velocity with the Pitot and static pressure found. Correct Answer False

For the compressible flow- both supersonic and subsonic, we can calculate the Mach number by using the Pitot tube. It measures the total pressure and by measuring the static pressure we can get the Mach number, not velocity, unlike the incompressible flow.

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

Air at a density of 1.2 kg/m3 flows in a straight duct such that the velocity at the centre is 12.5 m/s. the method factor for the velocity profile is known to be 0.80. The air flow encounters a symmetric expansion such that the cross- sectional are of the duct becomes double. The static pressure value at the inlet and outlet of the expansion are 60 Pa and 90 Pa respectively. Neglecting friction the shock pressure loss on account of expansion in Pa is
