Question

A circular stack has a diameter of 16 m at its base and converges uniformly to a diameter of 12 m at a height of 40 m. Coal gas, having a specific

weight of 4 N/m3, enters the stack at the bottom. Its specific weight increases uniformly until at the top where it has a value of 6 N/m3. Calculate

the velocity in m/s and the discharge in m3/s for every 10 m up the stack if the velocity at the bottom is 4.6 m/s.

 

  1. Determine the discharge at a height of 10 m from the bottom of the circular stack in m3/s.
  2. Determine the discharge at a height of 20 m from the bottom of the circular stack in m3/s.
  3. Determine the discharge at a height of 30 m from the bottom of the circular stack in m3/s.
  4. Determine the discharge at a height of 40 m from the bottom of the circular stack in m3/s.

 

Note:

Please write the final answer in two decimal places
Please write legibly
it could be typewritten if possible
Please write or input the correct unit
