- 1. Describe the factors influencing the flow rate and pressure in pressurized flow systems, such as pipes or conduits?arrow_forwardA fan operating at a standard air condition registered a total static head of 230 mm of water gage. If the static efficiency is 65% and the fan efficiency is 80% determined the velocity of air if the volume of air delivered is 6 m3/s. (Let the velocity head to be 35% of the static head).arrow_forward10 m3/min of free air is to be compressed to 8 bar gauge in two stages. Assuming a 2 bar gauge intercooler pressure and a polytropic index of 1.3, what is the flowrate out of the compressor plant ?arrow_forward
- Prototype of a mixed flow mini heart support pump at n1= 11000 rpmthe manometric pressure height is 100 mmHg, the flow rate of the blood-like liquid it pumps is 5.5 l/min and the efficiency is 9%. The relative density of this liquid is 1.06. It can be assumed that yields have not changed.a) find the power of the pump at this speed (n1).b) if the speed of this pump is reduced to n2 = 8000 rpm, what is the flow rate, manometric pressure height and power?arrow_forward10 m3/min of free air is compressed to 8 bar gauge. What will be the volumetric flowrate of air at the compressor outlet if polytropic coefficient of air is 1.3 ?arrow_forwardIn a liquid transmission pipeline, a pump had been designed for a throughput of 10,000 bpd. However, the demand has increased by 25%. It has been proposed to increase the impeller diameter and speed in order to meet the new demand. However, the impeller diameter increase is limited to 10%. The original speed of the pump is 1200 RPM and the original power is 60 kW. Calculate: a) The new speed of the pump. b) The new shaft power of the pump. The new shaft power of the pump.arrow_forward

The area of the throat / neck (the narrow part) of the channel c. Mass flow rate m d. In part 2 which is located between the throat/neck with part 1, where the area of part 2 is 10 cm2 calculate Ma2arrow_forwardexplanation of the performance tests undertaken for a wind turbine. With the options found, give a justified recommendation for the best system.arrow_forwardTopics: Fundamental of fluid flow Oil (SG=0.82) entering a pump through an 8-inch diameter pipe at 4 psi has a flow rate of 3.5 cfs. It leaves the pump through a 4-inch diameter pipe at 15 psi. 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 (550 lb.ft/s = 1 HP). Illustrate the problem and show your complete solution.arrow_forward
- In oasis Water Company to purify the water, it is flowing through a reducer in a horizontal pipe where the diameter is reduced from 35 cm to 25 cm. The pressure in the 35 cm pipe just upstream of the reducer is 3 150 kPa. The fluid has a vapor pressure of 50 kPa and a specific weight of 5 kN/m . Neglecting frictional effects, calculate flow rate of water through this pipe in lit/s. Draw diagram neatly.arrow_forwardCompute the energy requirements to convert 50°C water to superheated steam at 170°C when the pressure is 210.82 kPa.arrow_forwardA pump is to deliver 80 gpm of water at 140°F with a discharge pressure of 150 psig. Suction pressure indicates 2 inches of mercury vacuum. The diameter of suction and discharge pipes are 5 inches, respectively. The pump has an efficiency of 70%, while the motor efficiency is 80%. Determine power input to the drive motor.arrow_forward
