A 3-m-high large tank is initially filled with water. The tank water surface is open to the atmosphere, and a sharp-edged 10-cm-diameter orifice at the bottom drains to the atmosphere through a horizontal 80-m-long pipe. If the total irreversible head loss of the system is determined to be 1.5 m,In order to drain the tank faster, a pump is installed near the tank exit. Determine the pump head input necessary to establish an average water velocity of 6.5 m/s when the tank is full.
A garden hose attached with a nozzle is used to fill a 10 liter bucket. The inner diameter of the hoe is 2cm, and it reduces to 0.8cm at the nozzle exit. If it takes 50s to fill the bucket with water, determine the volume and mass flow rates of water through the hose, and the average velocity of water at the nozzle exit.
A pump draws 20 kW of electrical power while pumping oil with a density of 780 kg/m^3 at a flow rate of 0.3 m^3/s. The diameters of the inlet and outlet pipes of the pump are 7 cm and 12 cm, respectively. Since the pressure increase in the pump is 220 kPa and the motor efficiency is 91%, determine the mechanical efficiency of the pump. (Ignore the kinetic energy correction factor, α=1, Ignore the height differences inside the pump, the head loss in the pump hL=0.5)
A large tank is initially filled with water 4 m above the center of a sharp-edged 10-cm-diameter orifice. The tank water surface is open to the atmosphere, and the orifice drains to the atmosphere. If the total irreversible head loss in the system is 0.2 m, determine the initial discharge velocity of water from the tank. Take the kinetic energy correction factor at the orifice to be 1.2.
The weight of a water tank open to the atmosphere is balanced by a counterweight. There is a 4-cm hole at the bottom of the tank with a discharge coefficient of 0.90, and water level in the tank is maintained constant at 50 cm by water entering the tank horizontally. Determine how much mass must be added to or removed from the counterweight to maintain balance when the hole at the bottom is opened.
The 64-W fan in an aircraft environmental system is to circulate air through the ducting. An analysis of the flow shows that the fan needs to raise the pressure of air by 47 Pa to maintain flow. The fan is located in a horizontal duct with a circular cross-section whose diameter = 30 cm at both the inlet and the outlet. Determine the highest possible average flow velocity in the duct. Give your answer in m/s. Assume the fan operates steadily and that the changes in kinetic and potential energies across the fan are negligible. Note: I start this one by finding the volumetric flow rate from the work input and the pressure rise. Then I divide that by the cross-sectional area of the duct to get velocity.
The drinking water needs of an office are met by large water bottles. One end of a 0.6-cm diameter plastic hose is inserted into the bottle placed on a high stand, while the other end with an on/off valve is placed 0.6 m below the bottom of the bottle. If the water level in the bottle is 0.45 m when it is full, determine how long it will take at the minimum to fill a 0.25-L glass when the bottle is first opened. Neglect frictional and valve losses.
