Chapter 2, Problem 2.21P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The amount of force required to lift the block free of the bottom is to be determined along with the amount of force that is required to maintain this block in this position.

Concept Introduction:

The force (F)

acting on a surface due to a fluid above it is defined as:

  F=ρgzA .......(1)

Here, ρ is the density of the fluid with height z , A is the area of the surface, and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

The force that leads any object to float when immersed partially or fully in a fluid is known as buoyancy or buoyant force. It is the result of the pressure differences that acts on the opposite sides of that object when immersed in the fluid which is static.

The power out of an adiabatic steam turbine is 5 MW and the steam enters turbine at 2 MPa and velocity of 50 m/s, specific enthalpy (h) of 3248 kJ/kg. The elevation of the inlet is 10 m higher than at the datum. The vapor mixture exits at 15 kPa and a velocity of 180 m/s, specific enthalpy (h) of 2361.01 kJ/kg. The elevation of the exit is 6 m higher than at the datum. Let g = 9.81 m/s². Assuming the ideal gas model and R = 0.462 KJ/(kg.K). The steam specific heat ratio is 1.283. Calculate:
