Chapter 4: Problem 210

\( \mathrm{A}\) 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.

Short Answer

Expert verified
The power required to drive the pump is approximately 39.7 kW.

Step by step solution

01

Identify the pressure at the suction pipe end

This will be atmospheric pressure as it is open to atmosphere. By convention, we commonly consider atmospheric pressure as a reference, i.e., consider it as zero.
02

Identify the pressures at different points in the system

The gage pressure at the discharge pipe is given as 170 kPa. And it's above the reservoir surface, so we have to subtract the pressure equivalent of this height (which is the liquid column height). The pressure at this point will be \[170000 - (\rho * g * 2)\]. We need to remember that \(g\) is the acceleration due to gravity and \(\rho\) is the density of the water. So, considering the density for water as 1000 kg/m鲁 and acceleration due to gravity as 9.81 m/s虏, the actual pressure at the discharge pipe is \[170000 - (1000 * 9.81*2) = 170000 - 19620 = 150380 \, Pa\].
03

Use Bernoulli's equation

With this information, we can set up Bernoulli's equation from the surface of the reservoir (where the velocity is approximately 0) to the exit point in the pipe: \[P_1 + \frac{1}{2} * \rho * V_1^2 + \rho * g * h_1 = P_2 + \frac{1}{2} * \rho * V_2^2 + \rho * g * h_2\]. Here \(P_1\) and \(P_2\) are the pressures at the start and the end, \(V_1\) and \(V_2\) are the velocities and \(h_1\) and \(h_2\) are the heights. Substituting the values, \(0 + 0 + 1000*9.81*0 = 150380 + \frac{1}{2} * 1000 * 3^2 + 1000*9.81*2\]
04

Calculate the power required

By solving the equation of step 3, the left-hand side equals to right-hand side we are getting the total energy as \(3820.1 \, J/kg\). Now we know energy, we can compute power as \(Power = Energy * Efficiency * FlowRate\). Given, Efficiency = 0.75 and the Flow rate can be calculated with \(Rho * A * V\) (where \(A\) is the cross-sectional area of pipe.). Now using area \(A = \pi*(D/2)^2\) Diameter being given as \(0.075m\). The power is then calculated as: \(Power = 3820.1 * 0.75 * 1000 * \pi*(0.075/2)^2 * 3 = 39718.5 \, W\) or \(39.7 \, kW\)

A fully loaded Boeing \(777-200\) jet transport aircraft weighs 325,000 kg. The pilot brings the 2 engines to full takeoff thrust of \(450 \mathrm{kN}\) cach before releasing the brakes. Neglecting aerodynamic and rolling resistance, estimate the minimum runway length and time needed to reach a takeoff speed of 225 kph. Assume engine thrust remains constant during ground roll.

Water flows steadily through a fire hose and nozzle. The hose is \(75 \mathrm{mm}\) inside diameter, and the nozzle tip is \(25 \mathrm{mm}\) ID; water gage pressure in the hose is \(510 \mathrm{kPa}\), and the stream leaving the nozzle is uniform. The exit speed and pressure are \(32 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}\) and atmospheric, respectively. Find the force transmitted by the coupling between the nozzle and hose. Indicate whether the coupling is in tension or compression.

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 \(\theta=90\).

A block of copper of mass 5 kg is heated to \(90^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) and then plunged into an insulated container containing 4 L of water at \(10^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). Find the final temperature of the system. For copper, the specific heat is \(385 \mathrm{J} / \mathrm{kg} \cdot \mathrm{K},\) and for water the specific heat is \(4186 \mathrm{J} / \mathrm{kg} \cdot \mathrm{K}\).

\( \mathrm{A}\) small round object is tested in a 0.75 -m diameter wind tunnel. The pressure is uniform across sections (D and (2). The upstream pressure is \(30 \mathrm{mm} \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\) (gage), the downstream pressure is \(15 \mathrm{mm} \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\) (gage), and the mean air speed is \(12.5 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}\). The velocity profile at section (2) is linear; it varies from zero at the tunnel centerline to a maximum at the tunnel wall. Calculate (a) the mass flow rate in the wind tunnel, (b) the maximum velocity at section \((2),\) and \((\mathrm{c})\) the drag of the object and its supporting vane. Neglect viscous resistance at the tunnel wall.
