Carefully sketch the energy grade lines (EGL) and hydraulic grade lines (HGL) for the system shown in Fig. 6.6 if the pipe is horizontal (i.e., the outlet is at the base of the reservoir), and a water turbine (extracting energy) is located at point ②, or at point ③. In Chapter 8 we will investigate the effects of friction on internal flows. Can you anticipate and sketch the effect of friction on the EGL and HGL for the two cases?

A few such vanes are shown in the following figure. If the flow rate is 0.1 m³/s and the height of blades is 2 cm, find the increase in static pressure. The inside and outside radii are 15 cm and 21 cm, respectively. 104 Turbomachinery: Concepts, Applications, and Design 14° 27°arrow_forwardQUESTION 3 The plunger diameter of a single-acting reciprocating pump is 115 mm and the stroke is 230 mm.
