Chapter 4: Problem 195

A small lawn sprinkler is shown. The sprinkler operates al a gage pressure of \(140 \mathrm{kPa}\). The total flow rate of water through the sprinkler is 4 L \(/\) min. Each jet discharges at \(17 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}\) (relative to the sprinkler arm) in a direction inclined \(30^{\circ}\) above the horizontal. The sprinkler rotates about a vertical axis. Friction in the bearing causes a torque of \(0.18 \mathrm{N}\). \(\mathrm{m}\) opposing rotation. Evaluate the torque required to hold the sprinkler stationary.

Short Answer

Expert verified
The torque required to hold the sprinkler stationary is \(7.11\) N.m

Step by step solution

01

Convert Flow Rate to Standard Units

To have consistent units, convert the given flow rate from liters per minute to cubic meters per second. Use the fact that 1 L = \(10^{-3} \) m鲁 and 1 min = 60 s. Hence, the flow rate is \(4 \div 60 \times 10^{-3}\) m鲁/s = \(6.67 \times 10^{-5}\) m鲁/s.
02

Find the Mass Flow Rate

Now we calculate the mass flow rate. The formula for mass flow rate is the product of the fluid density and the flow rate. Assuming the density of water is \(1000 \) kg/m鲁, the mass flow rate is then \(1000 \times 6.67 \times 10^{-5}\) kg/s = \(0.067 \) kg/s.
03

Calculate the Angular Momentum

The angular momentum formula is mass flow rate times velocity times radius times sin(\(\theta\)), where \(\theta\) is the angle of inclination. From the properties of the sprinkler, we know each jet discharges at \(17\) m/s in a direction inclined \(30^{\circ}\) vertically with regard to the horizontal. Now, compute the angular momentum for each jet: \(0.067 \times 17 \times 30\sin(30^{\circ})\) = \(3.465\) N.m/s.
04

Calculate the total torque

The total torque required to hold the sprinkler stationary equals the sum of the frictional torque and the torque from the jet water. Since there are two jets of water, multiply the calculated angular momentum by 2. Then, add the frictional torque: \(2 \times 3.465 + 0.18\) = \(7.11\) N.m.

\( \mathrm{A}\) pump draws water from a reservoir through a 150-mm-diameter suction pipe and delivers it to a \(75-\mathrm{mm}\) diameter discharge pipe. The end of the suction pipe is \(2 \mathrm{m}\) below the free surface of the reservoir. The pressure gage on the discharge pipe \((2 \mathrm{m}\) above the reservoir surface) reads 170 kPa. The average speed in the discharge pipe is \(3 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}\). If the pump efficiency is 75 percent, determine the power required to drive it.

\( \mathrm{A}\) small solid-fuel rocket motor is fired on a test stand. The combustion chamber is circular, with \(100 \mathrm{mm}\) diameter. Fuel, of density \(1660 \mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3},\) burns uniformly at the rate of \(12.7 \mathrm{mm} / \mathrm{s}\). Measurements show that the exhaust gases leave the rocket at ambient pressure, at a speed of \(2750 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}\). The absolute pressure and temperature in the combustion chamber are \(7.0 \mathrm{MPa}\) and \(3610 \mathrm{K},\) respectively. Treat the combustion products as an ideal gas with molecular mass of 25.8 . Evaluate the rate of change of mass and of linear momentum within the rocket motor. Express the rate of change of linear momentum within the motor as a percentage of the motor thrust.

Airat standard conditions enters a compressor at \(75 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}\) and leaves at an absolute pressure and temperature of \(200 \mathrm{kPa}\) and \(345 \mathrm{K}\), respectively, and speed \(V=125 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}\). The flow rate is \(1 \mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{s}\). The cooling water circulating around the compressor casing removes 18 kJ/kg of air. Determine the power required by the compressor.

When a plane liquid jet strikes an inclined flat plate, it splits into two streams of equal speed but unequal thickness. For frictionless flow there can be no tangential force on the plate surface. Use this assumption to develop an expression for \(h_{2} / h\) as a function of plate angle, \(\theta\). Plot your results and comment on the limiting cases, \(\theta=0\) and \(\theta=90\).

Incompressible liquid of negligible viscosity is pumped, at total volume flow rate \(Q,\) through two small holes into the narrow gap between closely spaced parallel disks as shown. The liquid flowing away from the holes has only radial motion. Assume uniform flow across any vertical section and discharge to atmospheric pressure at \(r=R\) Obtain an expression for the pressure variation and plot as a function of radius. Hint: Apply conservation of mass and the momentum equation to a differential control volume of thickness \(d r\) located at radius \(r\)
