Concept explainers

Applied Fluid Mechanics

A fluid is a substance that is continuously deformed by the application of shear stress. The rate of deformation of a fluid depends on its viscosity. The fluid tries to flow when it interacts with some other system.

On a trip to the beach (Patm 1 atm or 101.3 kPa), a car runs out of gasoline and it is necessary to siphon gasoline from a Good Samaritan's car. The siphon is a hose with a small diameter and to start the action it is necessary to insert one end into the tank full of gasoline, fill the hose with it through suction and then put the other end in a can that is placed under the tank level. The difference in pressure between point 1 (on the free surface of the gasoline in the tank) and point 2 (at the outlet of the tube) causes the liquid to flow from the highest elevation to the lowest. In this case, point 2 is located 0.75 m below point 1, and point 3 is 2 m above 1. The siphon diameter is 4 mm and friction losses in it must be ruled out. Determine: a) theminimum time to bring 4 L of gasoline from the tank to the can and b) the pressure at point 3. The density of the gasoline is 750 kg / m3.
3. A pump steadily circulates oil used for lubricating heavy machine tools. The volume flow rate and temperature of the oil are 300 gal/min and 104°F, respectively. At 104°F, the kinematic viscosity and the specific gravity of the oil are 2.15 x 10-3 ft² /s and 0.89, respectively. The pipe lengths are 25 ft for the 4-in diameter pipe and 75 ft for the 3-in diameter one. The Schedule-40 steel pipe has an average roughness element size of 0.0018 in. If all minor losses can be ignored, evaluate how much power (in a unit of horsepower) the pump delivers to the oil. 6 ft 22 ft Flow 15 ft Discharge line 3-in Schedule 40 Suction line 4-in Schedule 40 steel pipe steel pipe Pump
60 degree F water flows through a horizontal turbine. The water speeds at the turbine inlet and the turbine outlet are identical. The water gage pressure at the turbine inlet is 46.4 psi while that at the outlet is 12.2 psi. Assume water frictional losses through the turbine are negligible. Deterimine the shaft work rate in ft*lb per slug of water passing through the turbine. Answer with a positive number if mechanical energy goes into the water and a negative number if mechanical energy comes out of the water as it passes through the turbine.
60 deg F engine oil flows in a 6" diameter pipe of length 13 feet. The gage pressure at the pipe inlet is 1 psi; the oil exits the pipe to the atmosphere. Determine the volume flow rate of the oil in ft3/sec. You can assume laminar flow.
