Water flows through a turbine as shown in figure, where the pipeline upstream of the turbine has a diameter of 1.2m and the downstream pipeline has a diameter of 1.7m. The inflow section of the upstream pipeline is 4 m above the outflow section of the downstream pipeline. When the flow through the turbine is 6 m³/s, the pressure at the inflow section is 450 kPa, the pressure at the outflow section is -30 kPa, and the head loss between these two sections is estimated as 20 m. What is the power being delivered to the turbine?

Determine the velocities of water in the larger and smaller pipes and the rate of flow. 2. Why is a water tower generally placed on top of a hill? If the hill is 50m high, can it supply water to the top of a 100-m tal officebbuilding? If not, how does water get to that floor?.
A pump is 2.2 m above the water level in the sump and has a pressure of –20 cm of mercury at the suction side. The suction pipe is of 20 cm diameter and the delivery pipe is short 25 cm diameter pipe ending in a nozzle of 8 cm diameter. If the nozzle is directed vertically upwards at an elevation of 4.2 m above the water sump level, determine the elevation in meters, above the water sump level, to which the jet would reach.

A horizontal pipe has an abrupt expansion from D1 = 8 cm to D2 = 16 cm. The water velocity in the smaller section is 10 m/s and the flow is turbulent. The pressure in the smaller section is P1 = 410 kPa. Taking the kinetic energy correction factor to be 1.06 at both the inlet and the outlet, determine the downstream pressure P2, and estimate the error that would have occurred if Bernoulli’s equation had been used.
The water tank as shown in the figure is being filled through section 1 at velocity of 5 m/s and through section 3 at flow rate of 0.012 m3/s. If water level varies and velocity at section 2 is 8 m/s, find the rate of change dh/dt. Assume d = 1.0m.
piezometer and a Pitot tube are tapped into a 4-cmdiameter horizontal water pipe, and the height of the water columns are measured to be 26 cm in the piezometer and 35 cm in the Pitot tube (both measured from the top surface of the pipe). Determine the velocity at the center of the
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. The blower delivers atmospheric air at 20°C and 95 kPa. Disre- garding any losses and assuming the tangential components of air velocity at the inlet and the outlet to be equal to the impeller velocity at respective locations, determine the volu- metric flow rate of air when the rotational speed of the shaft is 800 rpm and the power consumption of the blower is 120 W. Also determine the normal components of velocity at the inlet and outlet of the impeller.
Water vapor enters a Lule with an input cross-sectional area of 0.02 m2 at a temperature of 1.8 MPa and 400C. Water vapor passes through the Lule with a flow of 5 kg/s, and in this process there is a heat loss of 2.8 kJ / kg from the Lule. If the pressure at the outlet is 1.4 MPa and the speed is 275 M/s, find the speed at which the water vapor enters the Lule and the temperature at the outlet of the Lule.
Consider water flow through a horizontal, short garden hose at a rate of 30 kg/min. The velocity at the inlet is 1.3 m/s and that at the outlet is 11.75 m/s. The hose makes a 180° turn before the water is discharged. Disregard the weight of the hose and water. Taking the momentum-flux correction factor to be 1.08 at both the inlet and the outlet, the anchoring force (in N; hint: the answer is a negative number) required to hold the hose in place is ?
The water level in a tank is 20 m above the ground. A hose is connected to the bottom of the tank, and the nozzle at the end of the hose is pointed straight up. The tank is at sea level, and the water surface is open to the atmosphere. In the line leading from the tank to the nozzle is a pump, which increases the pressure of water. If the water jet rises to a height of 27 m from the ground, determine the minimum pressure rise supplied by the pump to the water line.
Water flows through a circular tube with a constant diameter at a constant flow rate. The outlet is at a height of 3 m above the inlet, and the inlet pressure is 1 kg/cm2•abs and the outlet pressure is 1.75 kg/cm2•abs. If the pump has to supply 15 kg m of energy to 1 kg of water, find the energy loss due to friction.
