Conservation of Energy

In physics, the rule of the conservation of energy states that energy doesn’t disappear from the atmosphere; instead, it changes its form from one type to another. Energy is one of the most important physical quantities in nature, and it cannot be create…

5. Typical cruising speeds and altitudes for three commercial aircraft are: Dash 8: Cruising speed: 500 km/h at an altitude of 4570 m. Boeing 747: Cruising speed: 978 km/h at an altitude of 9150 m. Concorde: Cruising speed: 2340 km/h at an altitude of 16 600 m. Find the Mach number of these three aircraft when flying at these cruise conditions. Use the properties of the standard atmosphere discussed in the previous problem.

QUESTION 1 A jet of freshwater strikes a series of vanes of a turbine at 25° with the direction of motion and leaves it at 150° absolute with the direction of motion. The absolute inlet velocity of the jet is 25 m/s and the vanes move at a velocity of 10 m/s. Ignore friction across the vanes. Calculate: 1.1 the vane inlet angle. 1.2 the vane outlet angle. 1.3 the power/kg of water and, 1.4 the hydraulic efficiency. QUESTION 2 A pipeline of 50 mm diameter and 4.5 km length connects two reservoirs whose constant difference of water level is 12 m. A branch pipe 1.25 km long and taken from a point distance of 1.5 km from reservoir A, leads to reservoir C whose water level is 15 m below that of reservoir A. Find the diameter of the branch pipe so that the flow into both the reservoirs is the same. Assume the coefficient of friction for each pipe, f = 0.0075, and neglect minor losses. QUESTION 3 The plunger diameter of a single-acting reciprocating pump is 115 mm and the stroke is 230 mm.…
