Problems 3.6,9,38,46,102,114,127,135,153; DP 3.1, Note: in 3.6, take the
width of the slot to be "b"
3.6 The exit velocity from the slot at depth h is approximately u = (2g(h-z))^1/2
from Bernoulli's equation, where z = 0 at the slot centerline. The slot
vertical height is 2L, with horizontal width b. The volume flow rate Q is
an integral of v dot dA over the slot, giving int udA. Substitute for u,
and integrate from z = -L to z = +L. This gives [2b/3](2g)^1/2 [(h+L)^3/2
- (h-L)^3/2 = Q (ans). From the definition of the derivative this gives
Q = 2bL (2gh)^1/2 in the limit as L goes to zero.
3.9 Apply the Reynolds Transport Theorem to the tank containing seawater.
Salinity S is rho_salt / rho_seawater . Salinity is "beta" for
this problem; that is, the salt per unit mass of seawater.
3.38 Take a fixed cylindrical control volume enclosing the fluid between
the two disks at time 0, with upper surface moving down with velocity V_o.
Find V(r) by applying RTT for mass for the incompressible fluid. This is
dM/dt_syst = dM/dt_CV + int rho v dot dA. dM/dt_syst = 0. dM/dt_CV = d(
pi r^2 h) / dt , where h = h(t). int rho v dot dA = rho 2 pi r h V. Thus
r^2 dh/dt = 2rhV = 0. But dh/dt = -V_o . Thus V = V_o r / 2h.
3.46 Take a control volume enclosing the input jet and the two inclined
jets. The tangential force is taken to be zero. By the RTT for tangential
momentum we have [0 = 0 + int rho v v dot dA ]_tangent. This is 0 = dot^m_2
- dot^m_3 - dot^m_1 V cos theta = alpha dot^m V -
(1 - alpha )dot^m V - dot^m V cos theta . Thus alpha = (1 + cos theta )/2.
3.102 Take a control volume of depth b enclosing a portion of the hydraulic
jump. Apply the RTT for mass and momentum. The flow is steady, so from mass
conservation we have rho V_1 h_1 b = rho V_2 h_2 b , where 1 is the input
and 2 is the output. Thus V_2 = V_1 h_1 / h_2 . Inserting this in the momentum
RTT result gives a quadratic equation for h_2 / h_1 , with solution -1/2
+ (1/2)(1 + 8V_1^2 / gh_1 )^1/2 . (ans).
3.114 There is no torque on the sprinkler. The angular momentum equation
is obtained by taking the cross product of the momentum equation with the
radius vector. For the steady flow of this problem, 0 = 0 + int rho r x
( v - omega x r ) dot v dot dA , where omega is the angular velocity of
the sprinkler and v is the velocity of the fluid relative to the nozzle.
The speed of the fluid exiting each nozzle is Q/3A = 6.5 m/s. See example
3.15. The final omega is V_o cos theta / R, giving 414 r/min and 317 r/min.
3.127 Apply the RTT for energy for a control volume around the river. The
heat in is 55,000,000 W, which is the difference between the internal energy
convected out dot^m c_p T_out and the internal energy convected in dot^m
c_p T_in . Solve for T_out = 23.14 deg C.
3.135 Apply Bernoulli's equation to the flows through the pump and the turbine.
B_1 = B_2 + gh_t + gh_f for the turbine flow. In terms of head, 0 + 0 +
150 ft = 0 + 0 + 25 + 17 + h_t . Solve for h_t = 108 ft. Turbine power P
= gamma Q h_t , where gamma is rho g . Q is 33.4 ft^3 /s. Thus P is 62.4x33.4x108
ft-lbf / s = 410 hp (check units). Similarly P_pump = 540 hp.
3.153 From Bernoulli's equation with no losses the velocity out of the hole
is V_o = (2h(H-h))^1/2 , and the fall time is t_fall = (2h/g)^1/2 . Thus
the horizontal distance is V_o t_fall =
2(h(H-h))^1/2 . Maximum x occurs at h = H/2 . etc.

The problem is to select a pump with minimum cost
with given performance characteristics. It must deliver no
less than 1.0 ft^3 / s of water, but now rotate slower than 10
rev/s. The cost is assumed to be proportional to the power
input to the pump. The relevant dimensional parameters of
the pump performance are the pump work rate per mass flow
rate gh_p, the volume flow rate Q, the water density rho, the
shaft rotation rate n, the impeller diameter D, the power to
the water rho Q g h_p , and the power input to the pump.
The relevant dimensionless parameters for the pump are
functions of the dimensionless volume flow rate zeta =
Q/nD^3 . The dimensionless pump head is phi = gh_p / n^2
D^2 = 6.04 - 161 zeta . The efficiency eta = 70 zeta - 91500
zeta^3. The dimensionless power to the water pi_W = P_W
/ (rho n^3 D^5) = zeta phi . The dimensionless power input
P_I is pi_I / eta which should be minimized as a function of
zeta . Since Q and n are fixed, the pump impeller diameter to
give minimum power can be determined.

Problem 3.141 Water at 20 deg C is pumped at 1500 gal/min
from the lower to the upper reservoir. Pipe friction losses
are h_f = 27 V^2 / 2g , where V is the pipe velocity Q/A . If
the pump is 75% efficient, what horsepower is needed to drive
it? The pipe diameter is 6 inches. Efficiency eta = P_water / P_$
Q = 1500 gpm / 448.8 gpm/ ft^3/s = 3.34 ft^3 / s .
V = Q/A = 3.34 / pi (3/12)^2 = 17 ft/s
h_f = 27 17^2 / 2x32.2 = 121 ft.
From Bernoulli's equation:
p1/ rho g + V1^2 / 2 + z1 = p2/ rho g + V2^2 / 2 + z2 + h_f - h_p
0 + 0 + 50 = 0 + 0 + 150
+ 121 - h_p
Thus, h_p = 221 ft.
P_pump = P_$ = P_water / eta . P_water = rho g Q h_p
P_pump = 62.4 lbf / ft^3 x 3.34 ft^3 / s x 221 ft / 0.75 = 61,600 ft lbf
/ s
= 61,600 / 550 = 112 hp
===============
Problem 3.142 A typical pump has a head which, for a given shaft
rotation rate, varies with the flow rate, resulting in a pump performance
curve. Suppose that this pump is 75% efficient and is used for the system
of 3.141. Estimate (a) the flow rate in gpm, and (b) the horsepower.
The pump head h_p is 300 - 50 Q from fig p3.142. Thus, Bernoulli's
equation becomes:
p1/ rho g + V1^2 / 2 + z1 = p2/ rho g + V2^2 / 2 + z2 + h_f - h_p
0 + 0 + 50 = 0 + 0 + 150
+ 27 V^2 / 2g - (300 - 50 Q)
Substitute V = Q / A to get a quadratic equation for Q:
Q^2 + 4.6 Q - 18.4 = 0 . Solve to give Q = 2.57 ft^3 / s .
Thus, P_$ = rho g Q h_p / eta = 62.4x2.57x[300 - 50x2.57] / .75 = 36,700
ft lbf / s
= 36,700 / 550 = 67 hp

Stategy for working design problem: You are given four constraints
on
your design in terms of the dimensionless pump head phi, the dimensionless
flow
rate zeta , and the efficiency eta . The cost C for the pump is to be minimized
with the assumption that C is proportional to P_$ only (is this realistic?).
You
can express P_water as rho n^3 D^5 from dimensional analysis, so pi_water
= P_water / rho n^3 D^5 is dimensionless pump power delivered, and pi_$
=
pi_water / eta is dimensionless power cost. You have the same system as
in
3.142 except for the pump, so you can use the same expression for frictional
head loss. Pump costs can presumably be reduced by reducing the flow rate,
since this reduces the frictional head, but there may be a limit due to
decreased
efficiency besides the given constrain on minimum flow rate of 1 ft^3 /
s . Set
up a spreadsheet and do sample calculations of C for the given constraints,
and
then do "cut and try" calculations within the constraints to see
if you can reduce
C further. Report your results and conclusions as a technical memo; that
is, a
brief summary of the problem and your design, followed by supporting theory,
calculations, plots, etc. (minimum cost occurs for about D = 1.7 ft impeller
diameter).
