A centrifugal pump impeller delivers 4000 gal/min ofwater at 20 ° C with a shaft rotation rate of 1750 r/min.Neglect losses. If r 1 =6 in, r 2 = 14 in, b 1 = b 2 =1.75 in,V t 1 = 10 ft/s, and V t 2 = 110 ft/s, compute the absolutevelocities ( a ) V 1 and ( b ) V 2 and ( c ) the horsepower required.( d ) Compare with the ideal horsepower required.
A straight horizontal pipe 100 mm in diameter terminates in a short, tapering nozzle from which a jet of water 50 mm in diameter is discharged to atmosphere. If the gauge pressure immediately before the nozzle is 50 kPa and friction in the nozzle is negligible, calculate the tensile force between the nozzle and pipe.
A jet of freshwater strikes a series of vanes of a turbine at 25° with the direction ofmotion and leaves it at 150° absolute with the direction of motion. The absolute inletvelocity of the jet is 25 m/s and the vanes move at a velocity of 10 m/s. Ignore frictionacross the vanes. Calculate:1. the hydraulic efficiency.
