A cylindrical furnace has height H and diameter D both 1m. It is maintained at temperature 360K. The air getsheated inside the furnace at constant pressurePaand its temperature becomes T=360K. The hot air with density ρrises up a vertical chimney of diameter d=0.1m and height h=9m above the furnace and exits the chimney (seethe figure). As a result, atmospheric air of densityρa=1.2kgm-3,pressure Paand temperature Ta=300K entersthe furnace. Assume air as an ideal gas, neglect the variations inρand T inside the chimney and the furnace. Also ignore the viscous effects.
[Given: The acceleration due to gravityg=10ms-2andπ=3.14]


When the chimney is closed using a cap at the top, a pressure difference Pdevelops between the top and the bottom surfaces of the cap. If the changes in the temperature and density of the hot air, due to the stoppage of air flow, are negligible then the value of Pis _____ Nm2.

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 7850

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Applying Bernoulli’s theorem between top and bottom points of furnace : \(P_a+\frac{1}{2} \rho_a V^2=P_a+\rho g H+\frac{1}{2} \rho V^2\quad\ldots(1)\)
