Applied Fluid Mechanics

A fluid is a substance that is continuously deformed by the application of shear stress. The rate of deformation of a fluid depends on its viscosity. The fluid tries to flow when it interacts with some other system.

Water is pumped from a reservoir to a pressurized storage tank (P = 150 kPa gauge) atop a building by means of a centrifugal pump. There is a 70-m difference in elevation between the water surface in the reservoir and the end of the discharge line. The piping system consists of 80m of 5" SCH 40 steel pipe containing two 90o elbows, one gate valve, one rotary water meter, and six couplings from the reservoir to the pump; 3" SCH 40 steel pipe for 86m to the tank. The 3" pipe contains two gate valves, four 90o elbows, and ten couplings. It is desired to maintain a flow of water into the tank of 2.4 m3/min. Water temperature is 25oC. If the pump-motor set has efficiency of 65%, what would be the pumping costs be in pesos per day if electricity costs PhP 10.50/kW-hr?

A hydroelectric power generating system is shown in the figure. Water flows from an upper reservoir to a lower one passing through a turbine at the rate of 286 liters per second. The total length of pipe connecting the two reservoirs is 186 m. The pipe diameter is 346 mm and the Hazen-Williams coefficient is 129.

A water fountain is to be installed at a remote location by attaching a cast iron pipe directly to a water main through which water is flowing at 70°F and 60 psig. The entrance to the pipe is sharp-edged, and the 70-ft-long piping system involves three 90° miter bends without vanes, a fully open gate valve, and an angle valve with a loss coefficient of 5 when fully open. If the system is to provide water at a rate of 15 gal/min and the elevation difference between the pipe and the fountain is negligible, determine the minimum diameter of the piping system.
