A cylindrical furnace has height and diameter both . It is maintained at temperature . The air gets heated inside the furnace at constant pressure and its temperature becomes . The hot air with density rises up a vertical chimney of diameter and height above the furnace and exits the chimney (see the figure). As a result, atmospheric air of density , pressure and temperature enters the furnace. Assume air as an ideal gas, neglect the variations in and inside the chimney and the furnace. Also ignore the viscous effects.
[Given: The acceleration due to gravity and ]
Considering the air flow to be streamline, the steady mass flow rate of air exiting the chimney is _____ .
Applying Bernoulli’s theorem between top and bottom points of furnace :
Also, since
From equation(1), we can write
Required mass flow rate
