Question
One of the steps in the commercial production of candy is the mixing of sugar and water to form a slurry
with a density of 1200 kg/m³ and a viscosity of 5 x 10-3 kg/m-s at 20 degrees Celsius. The slurry then
overflows from the mixer to a trough that is connected to a 6-inch smooth pipe leading to a receiving vessel
that is 4 m lower than the trough. This 15-m long pipe contains two short 90-degree bends (Kw = 1.2) and
an open gate valve (Kw = 0.05). How fast is the slurry flowing through the pipe (in m/s) and at what capacity
(in m³/h)? Illustrate the system and indicate the reference points on which the balances are based.
