Flow in Rigid Channel

Description

Fluid flows from the reservoir with the pressure pS through upstream restrictor with resistance Ru throught rigid channel and finaly through downstream restrictor to the outer space with pressure pout

Image depicts pressure drop along the rigid channel.
Parameters

The fluid:

ρ = 997.05 kg · m-3 μd = 0.00089106 kg · m-1 · s-1 c = 1494 m · s-1

The rigid chanel:

l = 0.11 m l0 = 0.15 m D0 = 0.025 m pS = 4000 Pa pout = 0 Pa Ru = 109 Pa· s2· m-6 Rd = 1011 Pa· s2· m-6 N = 31 εS = 0

Theory

Under assumption of the Poiseuille flow, the flow rate Q is given by formula:

Q= Δp A02 8πμd 1 N-1 N l

where N-1Nl is the distance between the points p1 and pN.
