Consider a mixing tank with a volume of 4 m³. Glycerin flows into a mixing tank through pipe A with an average velocity of 6 m/s, and oil flow into the tank through pipe B at 3 m/s. Determine the average density of the mixture that flows out through the pipe at C. Assume uniform mixing of the fluids occurs within the 4 m³ tank.

Take $p_o$ = 880 kg/m³ and $p_{glycerol$ = 1260 kg/m³

Answer:

the average density of the mixture that flows out through the pipe at C is 1167.8 kg/m³

Explanation:

Given that;

Inlet velocity of Glycerin, $V_A$ = 6 m/s

Inlet velocity of oil, $V_B$ = 3 m/s

Density velocity of glycerin, $p_{glycerol$ = 1260 kg/m³

Density velocity of glycerin, Take $p_o$ = 880 kg/m³

Volume of tank V = 4 m

from the diagram;

Diameter of glycerin pipe, $d_A$ = 100 mm = 0.1 m

Diameter of oil pipe, $d_B$ = 80 mm = 0.08 m

Diameter of outlet pipe $d_C$ = 120 mm = 0.12 m

Now, Appling the discharge flow equation;

$Q_A + Q_B = Q_C$

$A_Av_A + A_Bv_B = A_Cv_C$

π/4 × ( $d_A$ )² $v_A$ + π/4 × ( $d_B$ )² $v_B$ = π/4 × ( $d_C$ )² $v_C$

we substitute

π/4 × (0.1 )² × 6 + π/4 × (0.08 )² × 3 = π/4 × (0.12)² $v_C$

0.04712 + 0.0150796 = 0.0113097 $v_C$

0.0621996 = 0.0113097 $v_C$

$v_C$ = 0.0621996 / 0.0113097

$v_C$ = 5.5 m/s

Now we apply the mass flow rate condition

$m_A + m_B = m_C$

$p_{glycerin}A_Av_A + p_0A_Bv_B = pA_Cv_C$

so we substitute

1260 × π/4 × (0.1 )² × 6 + 880 × π/4 × (0.08 )² × 3 = p × π/4 × (0.12)² × 5.5

1260 × 0.04712 + 880 × 0.0150796 = p × 0.06220335

59.3712 + 13.27 = 0.06220335p

72.6412 = 0.06220335p

p = 72.6412 / 0.06220335

p = 1167.8 kg/m³

Therefore, the average density of the mixture that flows out through the pipe at C is 1167.8 kg/m³

Explanation:

Question is incomplete

The air velocity in the duct of a heating system is to be measured by a Pitot-static probe inserted into the duct parallel to the flow. If the differential height between the water columns connected to the two outlets of the probe is 0.126m, determine (a) the flow velocity and (b) the pressure rise at the tip of the probe. The air temperature and pressure in the duct are 352k and 98 kPa, respectively

solution

In this question, we are asked to calculate the flow velocity and the pressure rise at the tip of probe

A very large plate is placed equidistant between two vertical walls. The 10-mm spacing between the plate and each wall is filled

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

Force per unit plate area is 0.1344 $N/m^{2}$

Solution:

As per the question:

The spacing between each wall and the plate, d = 10 mm = 0.01 m

Absolute viscosity of the liquid, $\mu =1.92\times 10^{- 3} Pa-s$

Speed, v = 35 mm/s = 0.035 m/s

Now,

Suppose the drag force that exist between each wall and plate is F and F' respectively:

Net Drag Force = F' + F''

$F = \tau A$

where

$\tau$ = shear stress

A = Cross - sectional Area

Therefore,

Net Drag Force, F = $(\tau ' +\tau '')A$

$\frac{F}{A} = \tau ' +\tau ''$

Also

F = $\frac{\mu v}{d}$

where

$\mu$ = dynamic coefficient of viscosity

Pressure, P = $\frac{F}{A}$

Therefore,

$\frac{F}{A} = \frac{\mu v}{d} + \frac{\mu v}{d} = 2\frac{\mu v}{d}$

$\frac{F}{A} = 2\frac{1.92\times 10^{- 3}\times 0.035}{0.010} = 0.01344 N/m^{2}$

Steam enters an adiabatic condenser (heat exchanger) at a mass flow rate of 5.55 kg/s where it condensed to saturated liquid wat

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

The minimum mass flow rate will be "330 kg/s".

Explanation:

Given:

For steam,

$m_{s}=5.55 \ kg/s$

$\Delta h=2491 \ kg/kj$

For water,

$\Delta T=10^{\circ}C$

$(Cp)_{w}=4.184 \ kJ/kg^{\circ}C$

They add energy efficiency as condenser becomes adiabatic, with total mass flow rate of minimal vapor,

⇒ $m_{s}\times (\Delta h)=M_{w}\times(Cp)_{w}\times \Delta T$

On putting the estimated values, we get

⇒ $5.55\times 2491=M_{w}\times 4.184\times 10\\$

⇒ $13825.05=M_{w}\times 41.84$

⇒ $M_{w}=330 \ kg/s$
