Chapter 16, Problem 16.14PP

Seawater (sg 5 1.03) enters a heat exchanger through a reducing bend connecting a 4 -in Type K copper tube with a 2 -in Type K tube. The pressure upstream from the bend is 825 kPa Calculate the force required to hold the bend in equilibrium. Consider the energy loss in the bend, assuming it has a resistance coefficient K of 3.5 based on the inlet velocity. The flow rate is 0.025   m 3 / s .

PROBLEM 02: Water entering a pump through an 200mm diameter pipe at 27.6 kPa has a flow rate of 0.1 m^3/s. It leaves the pump through a 100mm diameter pipe at 103.4 kPa. Assuming that the suction and discharge sides of the pump are at the same elevation, find the horsepower delivered to the water by the pump (746 watts = 1 HP). Illustrate the problem and show your complete solution.
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. (a) Draw the hydraulic grade line and energy grade line. 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.
Table Q3 is given to collect the temperature of hot and cold water at the inlet and outlet positions in the laboratory using Tube Heat Exchanger (TD360a) by varying the cold-water flow rate to investigate the effect of cold-water flow rate on the heat exchanger’s performance.  (a) Complete all the output parameters indicated in the table given in Appendix 1.  (b) Draw the temperature (TH1, TH2, TC1 and TC2) on the vertical vs position (1, 2) on the horizontal axis for each flow and discuss the effect of cold water flow rate change on the exit temperature of both cold water and hot water.  (c) Draw the graph of Energy Balance Coefficient and Mean Temperature Efficiency on vertical axis and cold-water flow rate on horizontal axis. Discuss the effect of flow rate on the Energy Balance Coefficient and Mean Temperature Efficiency based on your finding.
