In a large student house in Sheffield, cold water is supplied by the mains water supply at a pressure of 2 bar, gauge, and at a temperature 10°C. A wash basin cold tap is located 3 meters above the mains supply, connected to the mains pipe with a copper pipe of internal diameter 15 mm and length 12 meters. When the tap is opened the flow rate of water out of the tap is 24 litres per minute, creating a Fanning friction factor in the pipe of 0.008. a) Calculate the Reynolds number of the water in the pipe and determine if it is laminar or turbulent.

The clean U for an exchanger is 770 BTU/(hr 0 F ft2). Its tube area is 550 ft2. After operating for several months, it is heating water from 40 0F to 150 0F at a flow rate of 200 GPM with a heating fluid on the shell entering at 300 0F and exiting at 170 0 F. Has the overall U decreased significantly? how many 1.0 inch diameter, 20 ft long tubes would it take to equal the 550 ft2 area?
In a ship's machinery space, a large sea water tank has a drain connected to the ship's hull by 20 metres of 50 mm pipe as illustrated in Figure 2.2 below. The drain pipeline can be assumed to have a friction factor of 0.024 and to comprise of sharp ends at inlet and outlet, three 90 degree bends, each having a k factor of 0.7 and two gate valves with ak factor of 1.2 each. The water level in the tank is 10 m above sea level. Determine the initial flow rate of water to the sea when the tank is being drained. Point 1 Sea Water Tank 10 m Point 2 Sea Water Level Drain line Ship's Hull Figure 2.2 Sea water tank drain line Solution Applying Bernoulli's equation to the fluid in the tank at point 1 and the sea water at point 2 and letting h = the total head loss, we obtain. + Z, =2+ 2g + Z2 + h %3D pg pg 2g
4. The following heat exchanger uses 10 kg/s of hot air to heat and boil liquid water into saturated steam at 500 kPa. (a) Find the steam flow (kg/s) (b) Determine whether the process is allowed by the second law (Answer: It is not!) (c) On the surface, the process looks OK as Tair>Twater at both the inlet and outlet. You should be able to see the problem if you sketch the air and the water temperature profiles as you move left to right through the exchanger. (Hints: The air will be essentially a straight line, while the water will not. For the water, think about what happens when it is changing phase.) This is called a pinch point violation, and it is a very important design consideration in advanced combined cycle systems and in nuclear power plants.

Consider the same problem in which an axial compressor with a mean diameter of 0.8 m is being designed to run at 3000 rpm. The whirl velocities at the inlet and outlet are 5m/s and 30 m/s, respectively. The air mass flow rate through the compressor is 2 kg/s at a temperature of 27 °C.

A liquid (SG = 0.8 and μ = 5 CP = 0.00336 lbm/ft s) from a solvent recovery plant is being pumped from a vessel into a reactor. The flow rate to the rector is 100 GPM (0.2228 ft³/s,) and the line, schedule 40-carbon steel (a = 0.0018 in). The pressure in the vessel is 15 psig and the reactor is pressurized to 65 psig. The flow into the reactor is 25 ft below the level in the vessel as shown in the drawing. The centrifugal pump is located 5 ft below the level in the vessel.

Air enters a cooler at 1450C and at a pressure of 3 bar and is cooled to 450C by passing through tubes of 10 mm inside diameter surrounded by water which enters the cooler at 150C and exits at 300C. Assuming the heat exchanger is counter flow, find: I) The mean temperature difference. ii) If the air velocity is limited to 6.5 m/s, what is the required length of tube? Neglect the resistance of the tube and assume water side heat transfer coefficient is 232 W/m2K.
The system consists of: 1. Stainless steel pipes with a diameter of 5 cm and a total length of 200 meters. 2. Four control valves distributed throughout the system. 3. Two centrifugal pumps in series, each with an efficiency of 80%. Over the past few weeks, a pressure of 20 bar has been recorded at the inlet of the first pump, but only 15 bar at the outlet of the second pump. Furthermore, the flow rate has decreased from 10 m³/h to 7 m³/h. It has been noted that one of the control valves is showing signs of wear and may not be functioning properly. Calculates the pressure loss in the system, taking into account the length of the pipes, the material, the valves and the pumps.
