A turbine flowmeter has a bore of internal diameter 150 mm. The rotor consists of eight
blades, each of mean thickness 5 mm, mounted on a hub of mean diameter 35 mm. The clearance
between each blade tip and the bore is 1 mm, and the inlet blade angle at tip is 20°. Estimate
the meter factor K in pulses/m3.

) A 50 mm-diameter propeller was installed in a 150 mm-diameter water pipe and the propeller speed was measured for a range of water discharge in the pipe. The water had a density and dynamic viscosity of 1000 kg/m3 and 0.00112 Ns/m2 respectively. The measured results were as follows: Q (litres/s): 12 28 45 63 95 120 160 180 N (rps): 5 10 15 20 30 40 60 80 Plot the dependence of propeller coefficient against propeller Reynolds number. A...

Given: A short cylinder of steel has a diameter of 150 mm and length of 500 mm. It comes out of a heat treatment process at a uniform temperature of 200oC and is plunged into an unstirred bath of oil at a temperature of 20oC. Find: Considering heat loss from only the cylindrical surface (ignore the ends), which orientation would cool more quickly? One orientation is for the axis to be parallel to gravity and the other perpendicular to...
