A fluid flowing out of a small hole in a vessel results in a backward thurst on the vessel.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

When a fluid flows out of a small hole, it carries momentum with it. According to the law of conservation of momentum, the vessel gets a recoil momentum. Thus, there is a change in momentum of the vessel which means that a backward thurst acts on it.

Two vessels A and B of equal volume (V_0) are connected by a narrow tube which can be closed by a value. The vessels are fitted with piston which can be moved to change the volumes. Initially, the valve is open and the vessels contain an ideal gas (C_p / C_v = gamma ) at atomspheric pressures (P_0) and atmoshpeheric temperature (T_0) . The walls of the vessels A are diathermic and those of B are adiabatic. The value is now closed and the pistons are slowly pulled out to increase the volumes of the of the vessels to dobuled the original value.(a) Find the temperatures and pressures in the two vessels. (b) The value is now opened for sufficeint time so that the gases acquire a common tempertures and pressures . Find the new values of the temperatuere and the pressures.
