Module 3: Transport phenomena in furnaces
  Lecture 26: Exerises on Fluid Flow

Exercise -1
Calculate velocity and flow rate of air leaking through an opening of rectangular cross section in a furnace wall (as shown below in the figure) from the following data:


Figure 26.1:

Air leakage through furnace opening


Cross section of the opening         
Draft across the opening                
Wall thickness                          
Assume turbulent flow and           
Friction losses due to contraction and expansion are 0.5 and 1 respectively.
Air is at  pressure and  temperature
