Exercise 2: A pipe brings water, with a mass density Pwater, from a dam to the...
water 248 m 945 ml 2 Water Pipe GENERATOR TURBINE 1) A dam in somewhere with a height of 248 m, is one of the tallest dam in the world. Water flows with a volumetric flow rate of 65 m'ls to a turbine, where electric power is generated. The total irreversible head los in the piping system from point 1 to point 2 (excluding the turbine unit) is determined to be 95 m. The pressure difference due to elevation cannot...
Problem 1. Water flows from a large tank through a smooth pipe of length 80 m. Both the tank free surface and jet exit are exposed to the atmosphere. Take the density of water p = 1000 kg/m3, dynamic viscosity of water u = 0.001 kg/m.s, atmospheric pressure = 100 kPa, and gravity = 9.8 m/s2. Calculate the volumetric flow rate through the pipe. Neglect entrance losses to the pipe. Hint: Consider the inlet and outlet sections of the pipe...

2 Underground water is to be pumped by a 80 percent efficient 10-kW submerged pump to a pool whose free surface is X m above the underground water level (see Figure 2). The diameter of the pipe is 10 cm on the intake side and 8 cm on the discharge side. Determine (a) the maximum flow rate of water and (b) the pressure difference across the pump. Assume the elevation difference between the pump inlet and the outlet and the...
Water (density 1000 kg/m3, viscosity- 1.15 x 10-3 N-sms transferred from the lower rescrvoir through a mortar ined steel circular pipe of 350 m long and 0.15 m diameter to the upper reservoir as shown in Figure E5.2 Two identical centrifugal pumps having opcration charactcristics as shown in the following Table ES.5 when it is running at 960 rpm. Difference between free water surfaces of the two reservoirs is 40 m. Friction factor of the pipe can be assumed to...
Question 2 Water is draining from a pressurized tank as shown in the figure. The exit velocity is given by Ve=(2p/p+2gh)1/2 where p is the pressure in the tank, p is the water density, and h is the elevation of the water surface above the outlet. Constant pressure supply Control surface Exit e The depth of the water in the tank is 1.7 m. The tank has a cross-sectional area of 1.8 m2, and the exit area of the pipe...
