6. The nozzle which furnished the water to a certain hydraulic turbine 275 mm in diameter and has coefficient of velocity and discharge of 0.98 and 0.955 respectively. The nozzle is supplied from a 60 cm pipe in which the water approached the nozzle with a total head of 330 m. Compute the energy per second delivered by the jet to the turbine and the energy measure in horsepower lost in passing through the nozzle.
The nozzle which furnished the water to a certain hydraulic turbine 275mm in diameter and has coefficients of velocity and discharge of 0.98 and 0.96, respectively. The nozzle is supplied from a 60cm pipe in which the water approached the nozzle with a total head of 330m. Compute the following: a. Energy per second delivered by the jet to the turbine. b. Energy measured in hp lost in passing through the nozzle.
Q, nozzle.
Water entering through 5 ft long and 1 inch diameter pipe has a flow rate of 100 kg/min at a temperature of 100°C and pressure of 2 bar. The density of water at these conditions is 961.5 kg/m3. Calculate the rate of work done at the entrance of pipe.
For the figure shown, water flows at a rate of 2.5 ft3/s and the total head loss is equal to 61 times the velocity head in the pipeline. Diameter of the pipe is 8 inches throughout its length. Calculate the power (in horsepower) provided by the pump. Round off your answer into a whole number. Answer: P = P hp 50 ft
Consider the piping system shown . The average speed of water flowing through the 600-mm-diameter section of the piping system is 5 m/s. What is the volume flow rate of water in the piping system? Express the volume flow rate in L/s. For the case of steady flow of water through the piping system, what is the average speed of water in the 300-mm-diameter section of the system?
The pump draws oil with specific gravity of 0.90 from a reservoir and delivers it to the hydraulic cylinder. The cylinder has an inside diameter of 5.0 inch and in 15 seconds the piston must travel 20 inches while exerting a force of 11,000 lb. It is estimated that there are energy losses of 11.5 lb-ft/lb in the suction pipe and 35.0 lb-ft/lb in the discharge pipe. Both pipes are 3/8-in Scheulde 80 steel pipe with inside diameter of 0.423 inch. Calculate the pressure at the cylinder.
Water at 50°F is pumped from a lake at 750 gpm through a length of 3-inch schedule 40 commercial steel pipe as shown below. The inlet to the pipe is eight feet below the surface of the lake. A 25-HP gasoline engine drives the pump and the pump has an efficiency of 80% What is the Reynolds number in the pipe? Is the flow laminar or turbulent? What is the head added to the water by the pump? What is the head loss due to pipe friction?
the 9.63. When glycerin (25°C or 77°F) flows through a 30 m (100 ft) length of 75 mm (3 in.) pipe, the head loss is 36 m (120 ft). Calculate the flowrate. 9.64. A pump of what power is required to pump 40 1/min of crude oil from a tank of surface elevation 12 to one of elevation 18 through 450 m of 75 mm pipe, if the oil is at (a) 25°C, (b) 40°C?
