Water flows through the system shown below Estimate the volumetric flow rate if friction losses are negligible class=

Respuesta :

The volumetric flow rate if friction is negligible = 0.00197 m³/sec

Given data :

P₁ = 7 atm  =  709.275 kPa

P₂ = 1.5 atm = 151.988 kPa

d₁  = 0.74 cm = 0.0074 m

d₂ = 1.20 cm  = 0.0120 m

h = 82 m

density of water ( p ) = 1000 kJ/m³

Estimate the volumetric flow rate

given that friction losses are negligible

V₁² - V₂² = [tex]\frac{2(P_{2} - P_{1}) }{p} + 2g(h )[/tex]

             = 2( 151.988 - 709.275 )  + 2 * 9.81 * 82

             = 2 ( - 557.287 ) + 1608.84

             = - 1114.574 + 1608.84  =  494.266

V₁² - V₂² =  494.266 ----- ( 1 )

Also given that:

volumetric flow rate ( Q ) = A₁V₁ = A₂V₂

                                          = π / 4 ( 0.0074 )² * V₁   =   π / 4 ( 0.0120 )² * V₂

                                          = 0.000043 V₁ = 0.000113 V₂

∴ V₁ = 2.63 V₂

Back to equation ( 1 )

( 2.63 v₂ )² - V₂² = 494.266

V₂² = ( 494.266 ) / 1.63

∴ V₂ = √303.23 = 17.41  m/sec

Therefore the volumetric flow rate ( Q )

Q = A₂V₂

   =  π / 4  * ( 0.0120 )² * 17.41

   = 0.00197 m³/sec
