MCQ
Water containing air bubbles flows without turbulence through a horizontal pipe which has a region of narrow cross-section. In this region, the bubbles
  • A
    move with greater speed and are smaller in size than in the rest of the pipe
  • move with greater speed and are larger in size than in the rest of the pipe
  • C
    move with lesser speed and are smaller in size than in the rest of the pipe
  • D
    move with lesser speed and are of the same size as in the rest of the pipe

Answer

Correct option: B.
move with greater speed and are larger in size than in the rest of the pipe
b
(b)

In narrow region, velocity of flow is more.

$v \propto \frac{1}{\text { Area }}$

As a result, pressure in narrow region is less.

As, $p+\frac{1}{2} \rho v^2=$ constant for a horizontal tube.

So, bubbles grow in size and they move fast through narrow region.

An engineer is given a fixed volume $V_m$ of metal with which to construct a spherical pressure vessel. Interestingly, assuming the vessel has thin walls and is always pressurized to near its bursting point, the amount of gas the vessel can contain, $n$ (measured in moles), does not depend on the radius $r$ of the vessel : instead it depends only on $V_m$ (measured in $m^3$) the temperature $T$ (mensured in $K$). the ideal gas constant $R$ (measured in $J/(K\ mol$ )), and the tensile strength of the metal $\sigma $ (measured in $N/m^2$ ) .
