FLUID FLOW OPERATIONS QUESTION
Air is pumped at a rate of 10L/min from one pressurized tank to another through a reducing bend as shown in the figure below. The bend has an area of 5 cm on the side of Tank 1 and 1 cm on the side of Tank 2. If the angle of the bend, θ, is (a) 30 degrees or (b) 0 degrees, what is the force exerted by the pipe walls on the fluid? If the whole system is put on a cart and moved with a velocity of 5 m/s to the right how does this change your answer to (a) and (b)?

1) Water is pumped steadily through a 0.10 m diameter pipe from one closed, pressurized tank to another as shown in the figure. The pump adds 4 kW to the water and the head loss of the flow is 10 m. Determine the velocity of the water leaving the pipe. Draw energy and hydraulic grade lines. Ppupn= A(Ans= 5m/s) ar 300 kPa Tank I 35 m pa = 500 kPa 15 m Tank II DUMD 0.10 m diameter pipe
fluid mechanics SECTION A Petroleum distilate is pumped from one large diameter tank to another higher tank, via a pumping station in an oil refinery. The petroleum is pumped at a speed of 2 ms through a 150 m long pipeline of 100 mm internal diameter. The vertical distance pumped is 20 m. The sum of the entry, exit and other component losses is equivalent to 5 times the velocity head, Table Q1 Fluid density Friction factor f for the...
