Chapter 2, Problem 2.48P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

To determine an expression for mass flow rate of water m flowing through the nozzle with inlet pressure P1, inlet diameter D1 and outlet ambient pressure P2, outlet diameter D2 with conditions steady state flow, incompressible fluid, isothermal process and adiabatic process

Concept Introduction:

Since water is flowing through nozzle and mass of water is coming and going, so it must be an open system. For an open system steady state flow, the energy balance is therefore,

  Q+W=Δ[(H+12u2+gz)m]+d(nU)dt

Where

Q is rate of heat transfer throughout the system, W is work rate and all the terms in the above equation have the dimension energy/mass.

And the relation between mass flow rate m and velocity u is

  u=mAρ=4πmρD2

Here, Area A is cross sectional area of nozzle inlet and outlet with diameter D1 and D2

Answer to Problem 2.48P

The mass flow rate of water m flowing through the nozzle is

  m=[2ρ(P1P2)(π4)2( D1 4 D2 4 D1 4 D 2 4)]1/2

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

It is given that water is flowing with conditions steady state flows, incompressible fluid, isothermal process and adiabatic process and for water at constant temperature.

  H2H1=(P2P1)ρ

The inlet pressure P1, inlet diameter D1 and outlet ambient pressure P2, outlet diameter D2 is also given.

For steady state flow;

  d(nU)dt=0

So, the resultant energy balance will be

  Q+W=Δ[(H+12u2+gz)m]

After rearranging,

Q+W=ΔH+Δu22+gΔz............(1)

Where Q is heat transfer through the system and W is workdone by shaft and all the terms have dimension equal to energy.

For adiabatic and no work shaft process and incompressible flow, the heat transfer, work shaft and potential energy term in equation (1) shall be zero.

Hence

ΔH+Δu22=0........(2)

Put H2H1=(P2P1)ρ=ΔH which is given and u=mAρ=4πmρD2 in equation (2)

  (P2P1)ρ+(4π m ρ D 2 2)24πmρD12)22=0

Rearranging

  (P2P1)ρ+( 4 π m ρD2 2 )2( 4 π m ρD1 2 )22=0m2(4ρπ)2(1D241D14)=2(P1P2)ρm2(4ρπ)2(1D241D14)=2(P1P2)ρm2(1D241D14)=2(P1P2)ρ(π4)2ρ2

Rearranging and Hence the final solution will be

  m=[2ρ(P1P2)(π4)2( D1 4 D2 4 D1 4 D 2 4)]1/2

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

To determine the effect of temperature change on an expression for mass flow rate of water m flowing through the nozzle with inlet pressure P1, inlet diameter D1 and outlet ambient pressure P2, outlet diameter D2 with conditions steady state flow, incompressible fluid, non isothermal process with T2>T1 owing to fluid friction and adiabatic process

Concept Introduction:

Since water is flowing through nozzle and mass of water is coming and going, so it must be an open system. For an open system steady state flow, the energy balance is therefore,

  Q+W=Δ[(H+12u2+gz)m]+d(nU)dt

Where

Q is rate of heat transfer throughout the system, W is work rate and all the terms in the above equation have the dimension energy/mass.

Answer to Problem 2.48P

The mass flow rate of water m flowing through the nozzle is

  m=[2ρ(P1P2)ρ2C(T2T1)(π4)2( D1 4 D2 4 D1 4 D 2 4)]1/2

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

It is given that water is flowing with conditions steady state flows, incompressible fluid, non thermal process with T2>T1 owing to fluid friction and adiabatic process:

  H2H1=C(T2T1)+(P2P1)ρ

Here C is the specific heat of water.

The inlet pressure P1, inlet diameter D1 and outlet ambient pressure P2, outlet diameter D2 is also given.

For steady state flow;

  d(nU)dt=0

So, the resultant energy balance will be

  Q+W=Δ[(H+12u2+gz)m]

After rearranging,

Q+W=ΔH+Δu22+gΔz............(1)

Where, Q is heat transfer through the system and W is work done by shaft and all the terms have dimension equal to energy.

For adiabatic and no work shaft process and incompressible flow, the heat transfer, work shaft and potential energy term in equation (1) shall be zero.

Hence

ΔH+Δu22=0........(2)

Put H2H1=C(T2T1)+(P2P1)ρ which is given and u=mAρ=4πmρD2 in equation (2)

  C(T2T1)+(P2P1)ρ+(4π m ρ D 2 2)24πmρD12)22=0

Rearranging

  C(T2T1)+(P2P1)ρ+( 4 π m ρD2 2 )2( 4 π m ρD1 2 )22=0m2(4ρπ)2(1D241D14)=2[C(T2T1)+(P2P1)ρ]m2(1D241D14)=2[C(T2T1)+(P2P1)ρ](π4)2ρ2

Rearranging and Hence the final solution will be

  m=[2ρ(P1P2)2ρ2C(T2T1)(π4)2( D1 4 D2 4 D1 4 D 2 4)]1/2
