• The static pressure of the fluid at the depth of the pitot tube (p 0) must be<br />

known. For incompressible fluids and compressible fluids with M ≤ 0.3,<br />

Flow and Pressure Measurement<br />

15. The density of air flowing in a duct is 1.15 kg/m 3 .<br />

A pitot tube is placed in the duct as shown. The<br />

static pressure in the duct is measured with a wall<br />

tap and pressure gage. Use the gage readings to<br />

determine the velocity of the air.<br />

(A) 42 m/s<br />

(B) 102 m/s<br />

(C) 110 m/s<br />

(D) 150 m/s<br />
