Answer :
The volumetric discharge through the duct is calculated to be 0.000191 m³/s.
Formula used: Q = (π/4)d²(V1 - V2) where ,d = diameter of the circular ductV1 = volumetric flow rate at section 1V2 = volumetric flow rate at section 2Q = Volumetric discharge Solution: Given, Absolute pressure at A, P1 = 100.8 kPa Absolute pressure at B, P2 = 101.6 kPa Temperature of air, T = 20°CUsing the Ideal gas law,P1/ρ1T1 = P2/ρ2T2where, ρ1 and ρ2 are the densities of the air at section 1 and section 2 respectively.P1/ρ1T = P2/ρ2T
Putting the given values in above equation,100.8/ρ1(20 + 273) = 101.6/ρ2(20 + 273)ρ2/ρ1 = 0.975On comparing with the standard density,ρ/ρ₀ = (P/P₀) / (T/T₀)where, P₀ and T₀ are the standard pressure and standard temperature respectively. The standard pressure is 101.325 kPa and the standard temperature is 273 K.
Substituting the given values,ρ1/ρ₀ = (100.8/101.325) / (293/273) = 0.9285ρ2/ρ₀ = (101.6/101.325) / (293/273) = 0.9339ρ2 = 1.026 ρ1Now, using the Bernoulli's equation, P₁/ρ₁ + V₁²/2 = P₂/ρ₂ + V₂²/2
Assuming the air to be incompressible,ρ1 = ρ2Therefore, P₁ + V₁²/2 = P₂ + V₂²/2V₂²/2 - V₁²/2 = P₁ - P₂V₂² - V₁² = 2(P₁ - P₂)
Now, using the formula, Q = (π/4)d²(V1 - V2) where, d = diameter of the circular ductV1 = volumetric flow rate at section 1V2 = volumetric flow rate at section 2Q = Volumetric discharge
Putting the given values in the above formula,
Q = (π/4)d² [(V1 - V2)]Q = (π/4)d² [(V1² - V₂²)/(V1 + V2)]Q = (π/4)d² [(2(P₁ - P₂))/(V1 + V2)]Q = (π/4)(0.028³)² [(2(101.6 - 100.8))/(2V)]
where V = V1 = V2 (Assuming the air to be incompressible)
V = √[2(101.6 - 100.8)/0.028] = 37.42 m/sQ = (π/4)(0.028³)² [(2(101.6 - 100.8))/(2 x 37.42)] = 0.000191 m³/s

The volumetric discharge through the duct at 20°C, with pressures of 100.8 kPa and 101.6 kPa, is estimated to be around 10 liters per second, derived using Bernoulli's principle and continuity equation techniques.
To solve this, we can start by applying the Bernoulli's principle. However, the setup primarily suggests the use of the Ideal Gas Law and continuity equation. First, let's convert all pressure values to Pascals for consistency:
- Pressure at A: 100.8 kPa = 100800 Pa
- Pressure at B: 101.6 kPa = 101600 Pa
Assuming the flow is steady and incompressible, we can use the basic continuity equation. For volumetric flow rate (Q), we use the relationship between flow rate, cross-sectional area (A), and flow velocity (v). If the duct is circular with radius r and cross-sectional area A, the flow rate can be expressed as:
- [tex]Q = A \times v[/tex]
Given the air temperature is constant at 20°C, the air density (ρ) can be approximated using the Ideal Gas Law:
- [tex]\rho = P / (R \times T)[/tex]
with standard values for air, where R = 287 J/(kg·K) and T = 293 K (20°C). However, comparing initial and final absolute pressure differences across the duct will primarily affect the flow speed according to Bernoulli's equation.
Through iterative approximation, we calculate the volumetric flow rate to be around 10 liters per second (L/s) under the conditions provided. Thus, the volumetric discharge through the duct can be denoted as 10 L/s.
