- Water enters a hydraulic turbine through a 30-cm-diameter pipe at a rate of 0.6 m3/s and exits through a 25-cm-diameter pipe. The pressure drop in the turbine is measured by a mercury manometer to be 1.2 m. For a combined turbine– generator efficiency of 83 percent, determine the net electric power output. Disregard the effect of the kinetic energy correction factorsarrow_forwardA pressurized tank of water has a 10-cm-diameter orifice at the bottom, where water discharges to the atmosphere. The water level is 3 m above the outlet. The tank air pressure above the water level is 300 kPa (absolute) while the atmospheric pressure is 100 kPa. Neglecting frictional effects, determine the initial discharge rate of water from the tankarrow_forwardThe water level in a tank is 12 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 13 m above the 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 water pressure by 50 kPa. Determine the maximum height above the sea level to which the water stream could rise.arrow_forward
- 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.arrow_forwardWhat is steady flow and unsteady flow through an orifice?arrow_forwardThe water level in a tank is 20 m above the ground.

- Oil at 20°C is flowing through a vertical glass funnel that consists of a 20-cm-high cylindrical reservoir and a 1-cm-diameter, 40-cm-high pipe. The funnel is always maintained full by the addition of oil from a tank. Assuming the entrance effects to be negligible, determine the flow rate of oil through the funnel and calculate the “funnel effectiveness,” which is defined as the ratio of the actual flow rate through the funnel to the maximum flow rate for the “frictionless” case.arrow_forwardExplain how and why a siphon works. Someone proposes siphoning cold water over a 7-m-high wall. Is this feasible? Explain.arrow_forwardAir is flowing through a venture-meter whose diameter is 2.6 in at the entrance part (location 1) and 1.8 in at the throat (location 2). The gage pressure is measured to be 12.2 psia at the entrance and 11.8 psia at the throat. Neglecting frictional effects, show that the volume flow rate can be expressed as and determine the flow rate of air. Take the air density to be 0.075 lbm/ft3.arrow_forward

Determine the force needed to raise the water to a height of h = 1.5 m above the free surface. What would your response be for h = 3 m? Also, taking the atmospheric pressure to be 96 kPa, plot the absolute water pressure at the piston face as h varies from 0 to 3 m.arrow_forwardA 3-m-high large tank is initially filled with water. The tank water surface is open to the atmosphere, and a sharp-edged 10-cm-diameter orifice at the bottom drains to the atmosphere through a horizontal 80-m-long pipe. If the total irreversible head loss of the system is determined to be 1.5 m,In order to drain the tank faster, a pump is installed near the tank exit. Determine the pump head input necessary to establish an average water velocity of 6.5 m/s when the tank is full.arrow_forwardThe 64-W fan in an aircraft environmental system is to circulate air through the ducting. An analysis of the flow shows that the fan needs to raise the pressure of air by 47 Pa to maintain flow. The fan is located in a horizontal duct with a circular cross-section whose diameter = 30 cm at both the inlet and the outlet. Determine the highest possible average flow velocity in the duct. Give your answer in m/s. Assume the fan operates steadily and that the changes in kinetic and potential energies across the fan are negligible. Note: I start this one by finding the volumetric flow rate from the work input and the pressure rise. Then I divide that by the cross-sectional area of the duct to get velocity.arrow_forward
