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.

At a hydroelectric plant the difference in elevation between the surfaace of the water at the intake and at the tailrace is 183m (600ft). When the flow is 80 cfs, the friction loss in the penstock is 60 ft and the head utilized by the turbine is 460 ft. The mechanical friction in the turbine is 100hp, and the leakage loss is 3 cfs. Find (a) hydraulic efficiency; (b) volumetric efficiency; (c) power delivered to shaft; (d) brake horse power, (e) mechanical efficiency; (f) over-all efficiency.
(a) Water flows by gravity from one lake to another as illus- trated; the surface levels of the lakes differ by an eleva- tion of h= 50 ft. If the volumetric flow rate is steady at Q = 80 gallons per minute, what is the associated loss of available energy? (b) A pump is to be installed to pump the water from the lower lake to the upper lake with the same flow rate as above (Q = 80 gpm). If the amount of energy loss is assumed to be the same as in part (a), how much mechanical power must be supplied by the pump? Answer: (a) loss = 1600 ft-lb/slug, (b) Wpump = 2.0 hp

A two storey building has two faucets, one in the basement and one in the firstfloor. The maximum water (ρ = 1000 kg/m3) velocity at the basement faucet, when the first floor faucet is closed, is 13 m/s. The faucet diameter is 1.5 cm.Neglect all losses. What would be a maximum height (from the basement floor) for a faucet,to still get a maximum exit velocity of 6 m/s?
Water is pumped from a reservoir to a pressurized storage tank (P = 150 kPa gauge) atop a building by means of a centrifugal pump. There is a 70-m difference in elevation between the water surface in the reservoir and the end of the discharge line. The piping system consists of 80m of 5" SCH 40 steel pipe containing two 90o elbows, one gate valve, one rotary water meter, and six couplings from the reservoir to the pump; 3" SCH 40 steel pipe for 86m to the tank. The 3" pipe contains two gate valves, four 90o elbows, and ten couplings. It is desired to maintain a flow of water into the tank of 2.4 m3/min. Water temperature is 25oC. If the pump-motor set has efficiency of 65%, what would be the pumping costs be in pesos per day if electricity costs PhP 10.50/kW-hr?
