The cylindrical tube of a spray pump has a cross-section of 8.0 cm2 one end of which has 40 fine holes each of diameter 1.0 mm. If the liquid flow inside the tube is 1.5m min -1. What is the speed of ejection of the liquid through the holes?
The cylindrical tube of a spray pump has a cross-section of 8.0 cm2 one end of which has 40 fine holes each of diameter 1.0 mm. If the liquid flow inside the tube is 1.5m min -1. What is the speed of ejection of the liquid through the holes?
Solution and Explanation
Area of cross-section of the spray pump, A1 = 8 cm2 = 8 × 10 - 4 m2
Number of holes, n = 40
Diameter of each hole, d = 1 mm = 1 × 10 - 3m
Radius of each hole, r = \(\frac{d}{2}\) = 0.5 × 10 - 3m
Area of cross-section of each hole, a = πr2 = π(0.5 × 10 - 3)2 m2
Total area of 40 holes, A2 = n × a
= 40 × π (0.5 × 10–3) 2 m2
= 31.41 × 10–6 m2
Speed of flow of liquid inside the tube, V1 = 1.5 m / min = 0.025 m / s
Speed of ejection of liquid through the holes = V2
According to the law of continuity, we have
A1V1 = A2V2
\(V_2 =\frac{ A_1V_1 }{ A_2}\)
\(= \frac{8 × 10 ^{- 4} × 0.025 }{ 31.61 × 10 ^{- 6} }\)
= 0.633 m / s
Therefore, the speed of ejection of the liquid through the holes is 0.633 m / s.

- A spherical soap bubble inside an air chamber at pressure \(𝑃_0 = 10^5 \)Pa has a certain radius so that the excess pressure inside the bubble is Δ𝑃 = 144 Pa. Now, the chamber pressure is reduced to \(8𝑃_0/27\) so that the bubble radius and its excess pressure change. In this process, all the temperatures remain unchanged. Assume air to be an ideal gas and the excess pressure Δ𝑃 in both the cases to be much smaller than the chamber pressure. The new excess pressure Δ𝑃 in Pa is

Bernauli Theorem
In fluid dynamics, Bernoulli's principle states that an increase in the speed of a fluid occurs simultaneously with a decrease in static pressure or a decrease in the fluid's potential energy. The principle is named after Daniel Bernoulli who published it in his book Hydrodynamica in 1738.
