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.
Air enters a fan through a duct at a velocity of 6.5 m/s and an inlet staticpressure of 2.5 cm H2O less than atmospheric pressure.

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.

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
A hydroelectric power plant uses Pelton-type turbines, in which multiple nozzles are used to accelerate the waterwhich is directed onto the turbine blades, which are exposed to an atmospheric pressure of 101.325 kPa. The water enters the nozzles with an absolute pressure of 500 kPa and a speed of 5 m/s, and the nozzle outlets are exposed to atmospheric pressure and have an internal diameter of 5 cm.

The liquid storage tank shown in Fig has two inlet streams with mass flow rates w1 and w2 and an exit stream withflow rate w3. The cylindrical tank is 2.5 m tall and 2 m in diam-eter. The liquid has a density of 800 kg/m. Normal operating procedure is to fill the tank until the liquid level reaches a nom-inal value of 1.75 m using constant flow rates:w1=120 kg/min, w2=100 kg/min, and w3=200 kg/min. At that point, inlet low rate w1 is adjusted so that the level remains constant.However, on this particular day, corrosion of the tank has opened up a hole in the wall at a height of 1 m, producing a leak whose volumetric flow rate q4(m3/min) can be approximated by q4=0.025√h−1 where h is height in meters.(a)If the tank was initially empty, how long did it take for theliquid level to reach the corrosion point?(b)If mass flow rates w1,w2,and w3 are kept constant indefi-nitely, will the tank eventually overflow?
