Concept explainers
In a water pollution control project, the polluted water is pumped vertically upward 80 ft and then sprayed into the air to increase the oxygen content in the water and to evaporate volatile materials. The system is sketched in Fig. 11.28. The polluted water has a specific weight of 64.0 lb/ft3 and a dynamic viscosity of

If the blood pressure at the inlet of the above vessel is 43 mm Hg and if the blood pressure at the outlet of the above vessel is 38 mm Hg. Calculate the flow rate (in ml/min).arrow_forwardQ 1 pleasearrow_forwardA storage reservoir supplies water to a pressure turbine under a head of 20 m. If the flow rate is 500 liters per second the head loss in the 300 mm pipe supplying the turbine is 2.5 m. Determine the pressure at the entrance of the turbine. If a negative pressure of 30 kPa exists at the 600 mm diameter section of the draft tube (exit tube) below the turbine 1.5 m below the supply line, estimate the energy absorbed by the turbine in kW neglecting losses between the entrance and exit of the pipe. Find also the output of the turbine assuming an efficiency of 85%arrow_forward
- 5. An air filter is used to remove small particles from an air supply to a quality control laboratory. The air is supplied at a rate of 0.5 m3/s through an air filter with a 0.5 m2 cross-section. If the pressure drop across the filter is 0.25 cm water after one hour of use, determine the life of the filter if a filter change is required when the pressure drop is 2.5 cm of water.
