Consider Problem 6.15 with the nozzle directed upward. Assuming that the flow is uniform at each section, derive and plot the acceleration of a fluid particle for an inlet speed of Vi = 2 m/s. Plot the pressure gradient through the nozzle and find its maximum absolute value. If the pressure gradient must be no greater than 7 MPa/m in absolute value, how long would the nozzle have to be?
A nozzle for an incompressible, inviscid fluid of density ρ = 1000 kg/m3 consists of a horizontal converging section of pipe. At the inlet the diameter is Di = 100 mm, and at the outlet the diameter is Do = 20 mm. The nozzle length is L = 500 mm, and the diameter decreases linearly with distance x along the nozzle. Derive and plot the acceleration of a fluid particle, assuming uniform flow at each section, if the speed at the inlet is Vi = 1 m/s. Plot the pressure gradient through the nozzle, and find its maximum absolute value. If the pressure gradient must be no greater than 5 MPa/m in absolute value, how long would the nozzle have to be?

- 6.36 This two-dimensional water (at 50°F) jet is deflected by the two-dimensional vane, which is moving to the right with a speed of 60 ft/s. The initial jet is 0.30 ft thick (vertical dimension), and its speed is 100 ft/s. What power per foot of the jet (normal to the page) is transmitted to the vane? See §6.5 for useful knowledge about moving CVs.arrow_forwardThe open stream of water seen in the following picture emerges from a nozzle into the atmosphere at sea level, where it then collides with a stagnation tube. If we exclude losses and assume that the pressure at the centerline of section 1 is 110 kPa, we can estimate that the (a) the mass flow measured in kilograms per second (kg/s), and (b) the height, measured in meters, of the fluid in the stagnation tube.arrow_forwardCarbon dioxide flows in a 75 mm wrought iron pipe at an absolute pressure of 345 kPaand 10°C.

- A cart with frictionless wheels and a large tank shoots water at a deflector plate, turning it by angle ? as sketched. The cart tries to move to the left, but a cable prevents it from doing so. At the exit of the deflector, the water jet area Ajet, its average velocity Vjet, and its momentum flux correction factor ?jet are known. Generate an expression for the tension T in the cable in terms of the given variables.arrow_forwardA nozzle that discharges a 60-mm-diameter water jet into the air is on the right end of a horizontal 120-mm- diameter pipe. In the line, the water has a velocity of 4 m/s and a gage pressure of 400 kPa. Find the magnitude and direction of the resultant axial force the water exerts on the nozzle and the head loss in the nozzle.arrow_forwardConsider an airplane flying with a velocity of 60 m/s at a standard altitude of 3km.

- A jet of freshwater strikes a series of vanes of a turbine at 25° with the direction of motion and leaves it at 150° absolute with the direction of motion. The absolute inlet velocity of the jet is 25 m/s and the vanes move at a velocity of 10 m/s. Ignore friction across the vanes.
