Consider a venturi with a small hole drilled in the side of the throat. This hole is connected via a tube to a closed reservoir. The purpose of the venturi is to create a vacuum in the reservoir when the venturi is placed in an airstream. (The vacuum is defined as the pressure difference below the outside ambient pressure.) The venturi has a throat-to-inlet area ratio of 0.85. Calculate the maximum vacuum obtainable in the reservoir when the venturi is placed in an airstream of 90 m/s at standard sea level conditions.

- A pitot-static tube with an instrument coefficient of 0.94 is used to determine the air velocity in a ventilation duct. The density of the air is 1.15 kg/m3. The tube is connected to a U-tube water manometer giving a head reading of 6 mm of water. Determine the air velocity.arrow_forwardA water tank with a capacity of 1500 L is desired to be completely filled in about 1.5 hours. The total length of the suction and discharge pipes are 7.1 m and 12 m, respectively. All pipes uses 2 in.-diameter PVC pipes (ɛ = 0.15 mm). The elevations are shown in the figure below. Calculate the power input (in kW) to the pump if pump efficiency is 86% and motor efficiency is 96%. Take the density of water to be 1000 kg/(m^3) and u = 1.00E-3 Pa-s. ... 18 m 6 m Round your answer to 4 decimal places.arrow_forwardSTELIA Aerospace are planning to design a spherical cryogenic tank to be stored with liquid hydrogen. It is also designed with a system that if the tank reaches maximum capacity all entry and exit nozzles will automatically be closed. The specific gravity of this fluid is approximately seven hundredths the density of water. The tank is designed to have two-entry filtration system and an exit nozzle located at the bottom. The liquid hydrogen flows into the cryogenic tank at a rate of 0.85 kilograms per second and 0.75 kilograms per second. At the same time the exit nozzle is opened with a rate of 0.005 kilograms per second. (a)The shutoff valves were closed after 35 minutes, what is the volume and radius of the spherical tank? (b) Using your answers on item a, how full is the tank (in percentage) after 27.15 minutes?arrow_forward
- hi please solve this question. please make sure answer is correctarrow_forwardThe water level in a tank is 34 ft above the ground. A hose is connected to the bottom of the tank at the ground level and the nozzle at the end of the hose is pointed straight up. The tank cover is airtight, but the pressure over the water surface is unkown. Determine the minimum tank air pressure (gage) that will cause a water stream from the nozzle to rise 72 ft from the ground.

The inside diameter of the tanks are 10 ft and 5 ft. The tanks contain oil (sp gr 0.30). With a valve in the connecting tube closed, the oil surface in the larger tank is 12 ft above the tube and in the smaller tank 2 ft above. Assuming a constant discharge coefficient for the tube of 0.75, find the time in which the oil surfaces in the two tanks will reach the same elevation following a quick opening of the valve.

- Please could you state which formulae you are using before applying it so I can see how the question is answered Thanksarrow_forwardWe are willing to design a simple setup for the lubrication of a rotating rod. To do so, the vertically aligned rotatingrod is approached to a horizontal surface that is covered with oil. The rod approaches the surface, so there is a 0.2 mmof liquid film between the rod and the fixed surface. Suppose that the radius of the rod is 15 mm, and the rod's angularvelocity is 1500 rpm. Determine the power consumption due to the friction.arrow_forwardA U tube differential manometer containing mercury was used to measure the difference of pressures in two pipes containing ethylene glycol. The difference in mercury level is 0.9 m, the level of ethylene glycol in left limb from mercury level to center of the left pipe is 1.9 m and the level of ethylene glycol in right limb from mercury level to center of the left pipe is 0.8 m. Find the head difference in m. S for ethylene glycol = 1.1, S for mercury 13.6. Draw a neat diagram shows all parameters. ( c.
