A 25 hp suction pump operating at 70.00% efficiency draws water from a suction line whose diameter is 184 mm and discharges into the air through a line whose diameter is 134 mm. The velocity in the 134 mm line is 1.9 m/s. If the pressure at point A in the suction pipe is -28 kPa (negative sign indicates the pressure is below the atmosphere), where A is 1.8 m below B on the 134 mm line, determine the maximum elevation above B to which water can be raised assuming a head loss of 2.4 m due to friction.
Show step by step explanation.
A jet issued of water at the rate of 200 L/s and a velocity of 36 m/s strikes a blade moving in the same direction at 15 m/s. The deflection angle of the blade is 120°. Neglecting friction, determine: (a) the x- and y-components of the force exerted by the jet on the blade in N.; (b) the work done by the jet on the blade, in joules.
A single row impulse turbine develops 2.3 MW at a blade speed of 105 m using 52 kg of steam per second. The velocity of steam leaving the nozzle at 310 m/s. Determine the angles of nozzle and blade when the steam leaves the turbine blades at a half angle of axial direction flow while the exit whirl velocity is one-third the total whirl velocity. When a second moving and stationary rows of turbine are connected to the above single moving row with the same angles except the steam leaves the second row axially, find the specific steam consumption. (solve using the velocity diagrams)
