Solution

The assertion and the reason are both correct and the reason correctly explains the assertion.

Here's the step by step explanation:

  1. The equation of continuity, derived from the principle of conservation of mass, states that the product of the cross-sectional area of the pipe and the flow speed of the liquid must remain constant at all sections of the pipe.

  2. This means that if the cross-sectional area decreases (as when a liquid flowing in a broader pipe enters into a narrow pipe), the flow speed of the liquid must increase in order for the product of the two to remain constant.

  3. Therefore, when a liquid flowing in a broader pipe enters into a narrow pipe, the flow speed of the liquid increases. This is in accordance with the equation of continuity, confirming the assertion.

Assertion : Viscous force inside a flowing liquid is directed in the direction of decreasing velocity of liquid particle.Reason : Kinetic friction opposes relative sliding.

A process fluid with a constant density, p kg/m³, enters a vertical cylindrical tank through an inlet pipe at its top. The tank is Dm in diameter and 2.4 m tall. The fluid leaves the tank at the flat bottom through an outlet pipe with an internal diameter dm. When operated at a steady state with 1.2 m liquid level inside the tank, the outlet velocity of the fluid through the bottom pipe, v(t) m/s, can be estimated from Bernoulli equation as:v(t) = 4h(t)where h(t) m is the liquid level inside the tank.(a) Obtain the transfer function between the liquid level inside the tank and the inlet volumetric flow rate when the tank is half full of the liquid.(b) Determine how long it will take for the liquid level inside the tank to increase by 0.1 m when the inlet volumetric flow rate is suddenly increased by 0.01 m³/s from the steady state value. Data: p = 1000 kg/m³, D = 1 m and d = 0.1 m.
