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.

Water at 20 Celcius degrees is pumped from a large reservoir through a pipe system which has a diameter of 79 mm and length of 13 m. The installation of pipe system is as shown in the figure below. Considering the mass flow of the water supplied to the pipe is 5,1 kg/s and the surface roughness of the pipe is equal to the 5 micron, please compute the total pressure loss of the system in Pascal.
A centrifugal pump is used to pump water between two reservoirs as shown in the bellow figure. The dimensions and minor loss coefficients are provided in the figure. The pump rotates at 1600 rpm, the water inters the impeller normal to the blades and exits at an angle of 45° from radial. The inlet radius is 5.5-in, at which the blade width is 7.09-in. The outlet radius is 8.66-in, at which the blade width is 6.7-in. The volume flow rate is 23-cfm. Assuming 100 percent efficiency, calculate the net head produced by this pump in cm of water column height, the required brake horsepower in W and calculate the pump capability to pump water to upper reservoir.

2. A pump is required to draw 50 of water from reservoir A, with static suction lift of 4.5 m to reservoir B, with static discharge head of 15 m. The pipe in the suction line is 6 in nominal diameter and 8 m long. The pipe in the discharge side is 4 in nominal diameter and 15 m long. The fittings and valves installed in the suction line are: one foot valve, one standard elbow and one gate valve; and in the discharge line are: one check valve, one gate valve, two standard elbows. Assuming an absolute roughness of 0.24 mm for a cast iron pipe, and an absolute viscosity of water of 0.01002 poise, and neglecting the head loss in the foot valve and at the exit in the discharge reservoir, determine the pump brake power if the pump efficiency is 82%. Draw the piping system.
