Q . It is proposed to pump 8,000 kg/h of toluene at 114 oC and 1.1 atm abs pressure from the reboilerof a distillation tower to a second distillation unit without cooling the toluene before it enters thepump. If the friction loss in the line between the reboiler and pump is 7 kN/m2 and the density oftoluene is 866 kg/m3 . How far above the pump must the liquid level in the reboiler be maintained togive a net positive suction head of 3.5 m? Calculate the power required to drive the pump if the pumpis to elevate the toluene 10 m. The pressure in the second unit is atmospheric and the friction loss inthe discharge line is 35 kN/m2 . The velocity in the pump discharge line is 4 m/s.
At a particular stage of a reaction turbine the mean blade speed is 140 m/sec and the steam is at a pressure of 20 bar with temperature of 250° C.

(ii) The percentage increase in the relative velocity across the bladings as a result of pressure drop across the blading.
A nozzle operates with steam entering at 700 kPa and 300 °C. The velocity at the inlet is 30 m/s. As the steam flows through the nozzle, the pressure decreases. Determine the area ratio value (Area / Area inlet), where Area inlet is the cross sectional area of the nozzle at the inlet, at the sections of the nozzle where the pressure values are 650, 550, 450, 350, and 250 kPa. Assume nozzle operates isentropically.
In a trial run, the De Laval steam turbine at Oman Power Plant rotates at 3000 rpm. The steam is issued from the nozzle at 400 m/s and the nozzle angle is 20o. The blade speed ratio is 0.41and the friction loss in the blade channel is 15%of the kinetic energy corresponding to the relative velocity at the inlet to the blades. As a turbine engineer at that station, how do you determine the (i) power developed by the turbine for a flow rate of 10 kg/s and (ii) suitable inlet and outlet angles for the blades when axial thrust is zero. Also, how would you determine the size of the turbine wheel required? Draw a suitable velocity diagram.
Steam issues from the nozzle of a single-impulse turbine at 800 m/sec on to blades moving at 300 m/sec. The blade tip angles at inlet and outlet are 36º each.

Determine— (a) the angle at which the nozzles are inclined to the motion of the blades; (b) diagram efficiency.
