Chapter 4, Problem 81P
A motorboat moves up a river at a speed of 9 m/s relative to the land. The river flows at a velocity of 1.5 m/s. The boat is powered by a jet-propulsion unit which takes in water at the bow and discharges it beneath the surface at the stern. Measurements in the jet show its velocity relative to the boat to be 18 m/s. For a flow rate through the unit of 0.15 m3/s, calculate the propulsive force produced.

C.
A pump delivers 25 L/s of water with a head of 35 m and runs at a speed of 2950 rpm
for 8 hours per day. The shaft power is 11.5 kW. The electric motor driving the pump
has an efficiency of 84% and the cost of electricity is 15 cents per kWh. Evaluate the
cost of electricity to run the pump in a day.
A jet of 50mm diameter impinges on a curved vane and is deflected through an angle of 175 degree. The vane moves in the same direction as that of jet with a velocity of 35m / s. If the rate of flow is 170 L / s, determine the component of force on the vane in the direction of motion. How much would be the power developed by the vane and what would be the water efficiency? Neglect friction.
A 25Hp suction pump operating at 56.30% efficiency draws water from a suction line whose diameter is 205mm and discharges into air through a line whose diameter is 155mm . The velocity in the 155mm line is 4m/s . If the pressure at point A in the suction pipe is -32kpa (negative sign indicate the pressure is below the atmosphere), where A is 1.8m below B on the 155mm line, determine the maximum elevation above B to which water can be raised assuming a head loss of 2.9m due to friction.
