A large lawn sprinkler with two identical arms is used to generate electric power by attaching a generator to its rotating head. Water enters the sprinkler from the base along the axis of rotation at a rate of 5 gal/s and leaves the nozzles in the tangential direction. The sprinkler rotates at a rate of 180 rpm in a horizontal plane. The diameter of each jet is 0.5 in, and the normal distance between the axis of rotation and the center of each nozzle is 2 ft. Determine the maximum possible electrical power produced.

The water enters the nozzles with an absolute pressure of 500 kPa and a speed of 5 m/s, and the nozzle outlets are exposed to atmospheric pressure and have an internal diameter of 5 cm. Consider that the specific mass of water is 1,000 kg/m3. Determine the mass flow rate of water through each of the nozzles, and explain why the actual mass flow rate will be lower.arrow_forwardIn this situation, a 90 degree elbow pipe is used to direct water flow in an upwards direction, at a rate of 40 kg/s. Here the diameter of the elbow is 10cm. The water is discharged into the atmosphere and the pressure at exit is at the local atmospheric pressure. Additionally the elevation difference between the centers of exit and inlet of the bend is 50cm. Here, the weight of the elbow pipe and the water is neglible, and the momentum-flux correction factor is 1.03 at both the oulet and inlet. How would I determine the gage pressure at the center of the inlet of the elbow? How much anchoring force would be needed to hole the elbow in place.
