Suppose that you are willing to determine the diameter of the water jet impinging to the sink from the kitchen tap.The tap is produced to supply three different flow rates of the low, medium, and high. For each flow rate level, waterthat comes from the tap fills the beaker with a volume of 30 mL in 10 s, 6 s, and 2 s, respectively. The outlet of the tapis 13 mm, and the distance between the tap outlet and the sink is 53 mm. Determine the diameters of the water jetimpinging on the sink at three given flow rates.
Provide solutions A penstock with a diameter of 4 ft and length of 225 ft carries water (γ = 62.4 lbf/ft3) through a 200 ft drop from a reservoir to a turbine. The penstock entrance is 10 ft below the water surface. The ﬂow rate through the system is 500 cfs and water exits the turbine in a free jet with a velocity of 9 ft/s. The Darcy-Weisbach friction factor for the penstock is 0.01. Flow is turbulent and head losses at the entrances and exits of the penstock and turbine are negligible.

Label transitions points with the height change using symbols (e.g. hL for pipe head loss) (b) Determine the head delivered to the turbine by the water in ft.(c) If the turbine and generator have a combined eﬃciency of 80%, determine the power in hp generated by the system.
Water at 16,2°C is to be discharged from a reservoir at a rate of 16,2 L/s using two horizontal cast iron (roughness value ɛ=0.00026m) pipes connected in series and a pump between them. The first pipe is 26,2 m long and has a 66,2 mm diameter, while the second pipe is 36,2 m long and has a 46,2 mm diameter. The water level in the reservoir is 30 m above the centerline of the pipe. The pipe entrance is sharp-edged (KL=0.562), and losses associated with the connection of the pump are negligible. Neglecting the effect of the kinetic energy correction factor, determine the required pumping head, the minimum pumping power and electric motor power for total efficiency value of 76,2% to maintain the indicated flow rate. Water density is r=996,2 kg/m3, dynamic viscosity µ= 1.162x10-3kg/ms. Solve the problem by making the necessary assumptions and drawing the schematic figure.
Suppose the pump of Fig. P14–23 is operating atfree delivery conditions. The pipe, both upstream and downstreamof the pump, has an inner diameter of 2.0 cm andnearly zero roughness. The minor loss coefficient associatedwith the sharp inlet is 0.50, each valve has a minor loss coefficientof 2.4, and each of the three elbows has a minor losscoefficient of 0.90. The contraction at the exit reduces thediameter by a factor of 0.60 (60% of the pipe diameter), andthe minor loss coefficient of the contraction is 0.15. Note thatthis minor loss coefficient is based on the average exit velocity,not the average velocity through the pipe itself. The total length of pipe is 6.7 m, and the elevation difference is (z1 - z2)= 4.6 m. Estimate the volume flow rate through this pipingsystem. Complete Answer, Thank you
