ENGR207 Assignment4 Energyeq Linearmomentum 2019s

This document contains an assignment for an engineering fluid mechanics course. It lists 8 problems related to fluid flow, pressure, and conservation of energy and linear momentum. Students are asked to calculate things like the power supplied to pump oil in an inclined pipe, the power needed to pump water to a given height, flow rates and pressures related to water flowing through turbines, and forces acting on pipes and nozzles from fluid flow. The deadline for submitting answers is April 11, 2019.

Assignment 4: Conservation of Energy and Linear Momentum

• Deadline for submission is Apr 11, 2019


Problem 1:
Oil ( 𝑆𝑆𝑆𝑆 = 0.88 ) flows in an inclined pipe at a rate of
5 ft3/s as shown in the figure. If the differential reading in
the mercury manometer is 3 ft, calculate the power that
the pump supplies to the oil if head losses are negligible.

Problem 2:
The pumper truck shown is to deliver
1.5 ft3/s to a maximum elevation of 60 ft
above the hydrant. The pressure at the 4-in-
diameter outlet of the hydrant is 10 psi. If
head losses are negligibly small, determine
the power that the pump must add to the
water.

Problem 3:
The turbine shown in the figure
develops 100 hp when the flowrate of
water is 20 ft3/s. If all losses are
negligible, determine the following:
a) Elevation ℎ
b) Pressure difference across the
turbine
c) Flowrate expected if the turbine was
removed

Problem 4:
Water is pumped from a tank, point (1), to
the top of a water plant aerator, point (2),
as shown in the figure at a rate of 3.0 ft3/s.
a) Determine the power that the pump
adds to water if the head loss from (1)
to (2) (where 𝑉𝑉2 = 0) is 4 ft
b) Determine the head loss from (2) to
the bottom of the aerator column,
point (3), if the average velocity at (3)
is 𝑉𝑉3 = 2 ft/s.

Problem 5:
Water flows as two free jets from the tee
attached to the pipe shown in the figure.
The exit speed is 15 m/s. If viscous
effects and gravity are negligible,
determine the 𝑥𝑥 and 𝑦𝑦 components of
the force that the pipe exerts on the tee.

Problem 6:
Determine the magnitude and direction of the anchoring
force needed to hold the horizontal elbow and nozzle
combination shown in the figure in place. Atmospheric
pressure is 100 kPa (abs). The gage pressure at section (1)
is 100 kPa. At section (2), the water exits to the
atmosphere.

Problem 7:
A sheet of water of uniform thickness (ℎ = 0.01
m) flows from the device shown in figure. The
water enters vertically through the inlet pipe and
exits horizontally with a speed that varies linearly
from 0 to 10 m/s along the 0.2-m length of the slit.
Determine the 𝑦𝑦 component of anchoring force
necessary to hold this device stationary.

Problem 8:
The thrust developed to propel the jet ski
shown in figure is a result of water pumped
through the vehicle and exiting as a high-
speed water jet. For the conditions shown in
the figure, what flowrate is needed to
produce a 300-lb thrust? Assume the inlet
and outlet jets of water are free jets.
