Water discharging into a 10-m-wide rectangular horizontal channel from a sluice gate is observed to have undergone a hydraulic j
ump. The flow depth and velocity before the jump are 0.8m and 7m/s, respectively. Determine (a) the flow depth and the Froude number after the jump (b) the head loss (c) the dissipation ratio.
1 answer:
Answer:
A) Flow depth = 2.46 m, Froude number after jump = 0.464
B) head loss = 0.572 m
C) dissipation ratio = 0.173
Explanation:
Given data :
Velocity before jump ( v1 ) = 7 m/s
flow depth before jump ( y1 ) = 0.8 m
g = 9.81 m/s
Esi = 3.3 m ( calculated )

Explanation:
A) First, let's write the energy balance:
(The enthalpy of an ideal gas is just function of the temperature, not the pressure).
The Cp of air is: 1.004 And its specific R constant is 0.287
.
The only unknown from the energy balance is , so it is possible to calculate it. The power must be negative because the work is done by the fluid, so the energy is going out from it.
B) The isentropic efficiency (e) is defined as:
Where is the isentropic enthalpy at the exit of the turbine for the isentropic process. The only missing in the last equation is that variable, because
can be obtained from the energy balance
An entropy change for an ideal gas with constant Cp is given by:
You can review its deduction on van Wylen 6 Edition, section 8.10.
For the isentropic process the equation is:
Applying logarithm properties:
Then,
So, now it is possible to calculate :
Finally, the efficiency can be calculated:
