Textbook Question
Chapter 16, Problem 16.21PP
A part of an inspection system in a packaging operation uses a jet of air to remove imperfect cartons from a conveyor line, as shown in Fig. 16.19 . The jet is initiated by a sensor and timed so that the product to be rejected is in front of the jet at the right moment. The product is to be tipped over a ledge on the side of the conveyor as shown in the figure. Compute the required velocity of the air jet to tip the carton off the conveyor. The density of the air is

Figure 16.23 is a sketch of a turbine in which the incom- ing stream of water at 15°C has a diameter of 7.50 mm and is moving with a velocity of 25 m/s. Compute the force on one blade of the turbine if the stream is deflected through the angle shown and the blade is stationary.
A pipe 12 mm diameter with a velocity of 0.50 m/s is attached by a nozzle at the end having a diameter of 3 mm diameter. Find the velocity of the water in the nozzle in m/s.
A 20 mm diameter pipe forks, two branches being 10 mm in diameter and the other 15 mm in diameter. The velocity in the 20 mm pipe is 0.3 m/s and that in the 15 mm pipe is 0.6 m/s. Draw a neat sketch, then calculate the velocities in dm/s in the 10 mm diameter pipes

- Water is pumped from a reservoir to a tank with a lift of 20.0 ft. The suction pipe, which connects the reservoir to the pump, has a 12in diameter and is 25ft long. The discharge pipe, which connects the pump to the tank, has a 10in diameter and is 450ft long. Both pipes may be classified as clean, smooth cast iron pipes. The suction pipe projects into the reservoir and discharge pipe projects into the tank.

- Why is centrifugal force frequently applied to speed up particle-fluid separation? A cyclone is designed to collect dusts. Increasing gas flow rate at the inlet can increase the efficiency without changing the cyclone. How much must the flowrate increase in volume flow if the critical particle diameter is reduced to half? A centrifuge needs a 300 times of gravity acceleration for a separation.
