Q.3 A firm produces frozen fruits and vegetables, and a venturimeter is used in this process.In a certain step of the process, the cherries are introduced to the cold air stream at -12oC with a 3 in. pipe connected vertically to the throat of the venturimeter. Venturimeter is connected to a pipe 4 in. in diameter. If the air velocity in the throat is 5 times the terminal velocity of the cherries and the ratio of throat/pipe diameter is 0.6, what should be the flow rate of air? Assume that the density of cherries is 1200 kg/m3 and the average diameters are 12 mm. What should be the lay-out of the pipeline between venturimeter and freeze-dryer to prevent the striking of the cherries to the walls? Is there any settling possibility of the cherries at the exit of the venturimeter?

A pump is being used to transport a liquid food product (density = 1000 Kg/m3, viscosity= 1.2 x 10 -3 Pa-s) from a holding tank to a filling machine at a mass flow rate of 2 Kg/s. The liquid level at the holding tank is 5 m above the pump, and the filling machine is 10 m above the pump. There is 100 m of 2 inch nominal diameter sanitary pipeline (assume: commercial steel) between the holding tank and the filling machine with one open glove valve and three medium sweep 90oelbows in the system. Determine the theoretical power requirement of the pump if the efficiency is 75%. Answer: 234 Watts. Show the solution.
