91Ó°ÊÓ

A horizontal axisymmetric jet of air with 0.5 in. diameter strikes a stationary vertical disk of 8 in. diameter. The jet speed is 225 ft/s at the nozzle exit. A manometer is connected to the center of the disk. Calculate (a) the deflection, \(h,\) if the manometer liquid has \(S G=1.75\) and (b) the force exerted by the jet on the disk.

Short Answer

Expert verified
The deflection h in the manometer and the force F exerted by the jet on the disk can be calculated using the established equations. Specific details and calculations might depend on constant values such as the density of air, the acceleration due to gravity and the density of water.

Step by step solution

01

Calculate the pressure at the center of the disc

Firstly, assign the velocity (V) of 225 ft/s, diameter (D) of the jet as 0.5 in, and the specific gravity (SG) of the manometer liquid as 1.75. Using Bernoulli's equation, derive the pressure at the center of the disc by equating it to the pressure in the jet. Given that atmospheric pressure (p0) = 0, the equation becomes, \(P = \frac{1}{2} \times \rho \times V^2\) where \(\rho\) is the density of air.
02

Determine the deflection

The deflection (h) in the manometer, is given by the manometer equation, which states that \(P = \rho_{liq} \times g \times h\), where \(\rho_{liq} = SG \times \rho_{water}\). By rearranging this equation, the deflection can be solved as, \(h = \frac{P}{\rho_{liq} \times g}\)
03

Calculate the force exerted by the jet

The force (F) exerted by a fluid jet on a flat plate is given by \(F = \rho \times q \times V\), where q is the flow rate of the jet, which can be calculated using the area (A) and velocity of the jet, yielding \(q = A \times V\). Substituting this back into the force equation, \(F = \rho \times A \times V^2\).

Considering that in the fully developed region of a pipe, the integral of the axial momentum is the same at all cross sections, explain the reason for the pressure drop along the pipe.

\( \mathrm{A}\) wet cooling tower cools warm water by spraying it into a forced dry-air flow. Some of the water evaporates in this air and is carried out of the tower into the atmosphere; the evaporation cools the remaining water droplets, which are collected at the exit pipe \((6 \text { in. } \mathrm{ID})\) of the tower. Measurements indicate the warm water mass flow rate is \(250,000 \mathrm{lb} / \mathrm{hr},\) and the cool water \(\left(70^{\circ} \mathrm{F}\right)\) flows at an average speed of 5 ft/s in the exit pipe. The moist air density is 0.065 Ib/ft \(^{3}\). Find (a) the volume flow rate \(\left(\mathrm{ft}^{3} / \mathrm{s}\right)\) and mass flow rate (lb/hr) of the cool water, (b) the mass flow rate \((\mathrm{lb} / \mathrm{hr})\) of the moist air, and (c) the mass flow rate (lb/hr) of the dry air. Hint: Google "density of moist air" for information on relating moist and dry air densities!

You are trying to pump storm water out of your basement during a storm. The pump can extract 27.5 gpm. The water level in the basement is now sinking by about 4 in. \(/ \mathrm{hr}\). What is the flow rate ( gpm) from the storm into the basement? The basement is \(30 \mathrm{ft} \times 20 \mathrm{ft}\).

The narrow gap between two closely spaced circular plates initially is filled with incompressible liquid. At \(t=0\) the upper plate, initially \(h_{0}\) above the lower plate, begins to move downward toward the lower plate with constant speed, \(V_{0}\) causing the liquid to be squeezed from the narrow gap. Neglecting viscous effects and assuming uniform flow in the radial direction, develop an expression for the velocity field between the parallel plates, Hint: Apply conservation of mass to a control volume with the outer surface located at radius \(r\) Note that even though the speed of the upper plate is constant, the flow is unsteady. For \(V_{0}=0.01 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}\) and \(h_{0}=2\) \(\mathrm{mm},\) find the velocity at the exit radius \(R=100 \mathrm{mm}\) at \(t=0\) and \(t=0.1\) s. Plot the exit velocity as a function of time, and explain the trend.

A conical flask contains water to height \(H=36.8 \mathrm{mm}\) where the flask diameter is \(D=29.4 \mathrm{mm}\). Water drains out through a smoothly rounded hole of diameter \(d=7.35 \mathrm{mm}\) at the apex of the cone. The flow speed at the exit is approximately \(V=\sqrt{2 g y},\) where \(y\) is the height of the liquid free surface above the hole. A stream of water flows into the top of the flask at constant volume flow rate, \(Q=3.75 \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{m}^{3} / \mathrm{hr}\) Find the volume flow rate from the bottom of the flask. Evaluate the direction and rate of change of water surface level in the flask at this instant.
