1200 cm³/sec of water at 420 K is pumped in a 40 mm internal diameter pipe

through a length of 150 m in a horizontal direction and up through a vertical length of 10 m . In the pipe there is a control valve which may be taken as equivalent to 200 pipe diameters and other pipe fittings equivalent to 60 pipe diameter. Also in the line there is a heat exchanger across which there is a loss in head of 1.5 of water. What power must be delivered to the pump if the unit is 60% efficient?

) 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...

A plain carbon steel ball 2 mm in diameter is heated to 1200 K in an oven and then cooled slowly in ambient air at 300 K. The convection heat transfer coefficient between air and this steel ball is 20 W / (m2 * K). You can find the density, specific heat and thermal conductivity from the property tables attached in text book with reasonable assumptions. Please derive an equation estimating the changes of the temperature of this ball with...

A pipe, 900 m long and 200 mm in diameter discharges water to the atmosphere at a point 10 m below the inlet level. With an inlet pressure of 40 kPa gauge, the flow rate is 40 litres/sec. At a point half way between the pipe inlet and outlet, a new tapping is made from which water is taken at a rate of 18 litres/sec. To what value must the inlet pressure be raised in order to maintain the same...

The steel pipe (100 mm outer diameter) is covered with two layers of insulation. The 40 mm thick inner layer has a thermal conductivity of 0.07 W / (mK). Outer layer, 20 mm thick has a thermal conductivity of 0.15 W / (m K). The pipe is used to drain 500 kPa pressurized steam. The temperature on the outer insulation surface is 24 ° C. If the pipe is 8 m long, determine the following: (assuming that the conduction heat...

Two water reservoirs are joined by a sharp ended flexible pipe 100 mm in diameter and 36 m long. The ends of the pipe differ in level by 4 m. The surface level of the upper reservoir is 1.8 m above the pipe inlet whilst that of the lower reservoir is 1.2 m above the pipe outlet. At a position 7.5 m horizontally from the upper reservoir, the pipe is required to pass over a barrier. Assuming that the pipe...
