Blowers are used in wastewater treatment plants to assist microorganisms in degrading pollutants. The impeller of a centrifugal blower has a radius of 15 cm and a blade width of 6.1 cm at the inlet, and a radius of 30 cm and a blade width of 3.4 cm at the outlet. The blower delivers atmospheric air at 20°C and 95 kPa. Disregarding any losses and assuming the tangential components of air velocity at the inlet and the outlet to be equal to the impeller velocity at respective locations, determine the volumetric flow rate of air when the rotational speed of the shaft is 800 rpm and the power consumption of the blower is 120 W. Also determine the normal components of velocity at the inlet and outlet of the impeller.

Orange juice is flowing through a horizontal U-type reducing bend at a rate of 36kg/s. The cross-sectional area, gage pressure, and velocity are 168cm^2, 57.5 kPa, and 2.10 m/s at the inlet, and 80cm^2, 50kPa, and 4.37 m/s at the outlet.

Water flows through a 90 degree elbow connected to a pipe with diameter of 1.5 cm. At inlet pressure is 183kPa while at outlet water is discharged at a velocity of 200 ft/s to the atmosphere through a diameter of 5cm. Determine the force necessary to keep the elbow in place.
Fluids Question Consider a centrifugal blower that has a radius of 20 cm and a blade width of 8.2 cm at the impeller inlet and a radius of 45 cm and a blade width of 5.6 cm at the outlet, the blower delivers air at a rate of 0.70 m3/s at a rotational speed of 700 RPM. Assuming the air enters the impeller in the radial direction and exits at an angle of 50° from the radial direction, determine the minimum power consumption of the blower, take the density of the air to be 1.25 kg/m3 (ans 152W)
A jet of water with velocity 35 m/s strikes a series of radial curved vane mounted on a wheel which is rotating at 200 rpm. The jet makes an angle 30° with the tangent to the wheel at inlet, and leaves the wheel with a velocity 5 m/s at angle of 140° to the tangent to the wheel at the outlet. The outer and inner radii of the wheel are 70 cm and 35 cm, respectively.
A handheld bicycle pump can be used as an atomizer to generate a fine mist of paint or pesticide by forcing air at a high velocity through a small hole and placing a short tubebetween the liquid reservoir and the high-speed air jet whose low pressure drives the liquid up through the tube. In such an atomizer, the hole diameter is 0.3 cm, the vertical distance between the liquid level in the tube and the hole is 10 cm, and the bore (diameter) and the stroke of the air pump are 5 cm and 20 cm, respectively. If the atmospheric conditions are 20°C and 95 kPa, determine the minimum speed that the piston must be moved in the cylinder during pumping to initiate the atomizing effect. The liquid reservoir is open to the atmosphere
Consider water flow through a horizontal, short garden hose at a rate of 30 kg/min. The velocity at the inlet is 1.3 m/s and that at the outlet is 11.75 m/s. The hose makes a 180° turn before the water is discharged. Disregard the weight of the hose and water. Taking the momentum-flux correction factor to be 1.08 at both the inlet and the outlet, the anchoring force (in N; hint: the answer is a negative number) required to hold the hose in place is ?
A pump draws 30-°C water at 0.5 liters per second from a pressurized tank where the air pressure above the water is 1.1 atm (abs) . The required NPSH of the pump is 8.2 m. The suction pipe has a diameter of 4 cm, total length of 5.2 m, and friction factor of 0.005. If the pump has a suction lift of 3.8 m, will cavitation occur? Use the properties of sat. liquid water at 30°C.
