For supersonic compression flows, there is a bow shock formed at the mouth of the Pitot tube.

For supersonic compression flows, there is a bow shock formed at the mouth of the Pitot tube. Correct Answer True

The supersonic flow has a very high velocity. When it finds an obstruction in the form of a Pitot tube, a bow shock is formed for the supersonic flow over a blunt body. As a result, the stagnation pressure at the mouth of the Pitot tube is the pressure behind the bow shock.

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?
Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives. The instructor's rules were simple. Breathe through your mouth, not your nose; else the mask will fog up. Easier said than done; I got it wrong many a time. But once you fought habit and got the hang of it, the panoramic underwater world revealed itself to you with high-definition clarity. Led by him, I slowly peered through the mask into what till then was crystal-clear water, shimmering in the sunlight. I saw pebbles, sand and my fluid shadow. I was in Nemo's universe. Sea cucumbers, sea anemone, clown fish, star fish, sea horses, parrot fish, butterfly fish and a bevy of colourful salt water fish swam past. A shoal of canary-yellow fish did a merry dance and another with vibrant blue fish followed it. They were oblivious to the snorkelers who struggled to take in the sight of a world so beautiful, so colourful, and resist opening their mouth wide in amazement; the tube would fall off! When would there be a risk of the tube falling off?
From an alloy, two specimens are machined and tested separately under tension and compression. The engineering stress-strain curves as well as the true stress-true strain curves for tension and compression are plotted in the same diagram. Identify the correct statements:
P. The engineering stress-strain curves in tension and compression are identical.
Q. The true stress-true strain curve in compression is lower than the true stresstrue strain curve in tension due to Bauschinger effect.
R. The true stress-true strain curve in tension is above the corresponding engineering stress-strain, curve.
S. The true stress-true strain curve in tension and compression are identical.
At supersonic speeds, a normal pitot tube cannot be used for speed measurements.
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
