Chapter 9, Problem 107P
A water tower consists of a 12-m-diameter sphere on top of a vertical tower 30 m tall and 2 m in diameter. Estimate the bending moment exerted on the base of the tower due to the aerodynamic force imposed by a 100 km/hr wind on a standard day. Neglect interference at the joint between the sphere and tower.

4. Steam flows steadily through a turbine at a rate of 47,000 lbm/h, entering at 1000 psia
and 800°F and leaving at 6 psia as saturated vapor. If the power generated by the
turbine is 3.7 MW, determine the rate of heat loss from the steam.
3. Water enters the constant 125-mm inside-diameter tubes of a boiler at 7.5 MPa and
60°C and leaves the tubes at 6 MPa and 500°C with a velocity of 75 m/s. Calculate the
velocity of the water at the tube inlet and the inlet volume flow rate.
