Water enters a centrifugal pump axially at atmospheric pressure at a rate of 0.12 m3/s and at a velocity of 7 m/s, and leaves in the normal direction along the pump casing, as shown in Fig. PI3-39. Determine the force acting on the shaft (which is also the force acting on the bearing of the shaft) in the axial direction.

Step-by-step solution:

A circular column is fixed at the base and not supported at the top. If the column needs to be 15ft and hold 10kips, what is the

muminat

Answer:

The required size of column is length = 15 ft and diameter = 4.04 inches

Explanation:

Given;

Length of the column, L = 15 ft

Applied load, P = 10 kips = 10 × 10³ Psi

End condition as fixed at the base and free at the top

thus,

Effective length of the column, $\L_e$ = 2L = 30 ft = 360 inches

now, for aluminium

Elastic modulus, E = 1.0 × 10⁷ Psi

Now, from the Euler's critical load, we have

$P =\frac{\pi^2EI}{L_e^2}$

where, I is the moment of inertia

on substituting the respective values, we get

$10\times10^3 =\frac{\pi^2\times1.0\times10^7\times I}{360^2}$

I = 13.13 in⁴

also for circular cross-section

I = $\frac{\pi}{64}\times d^4$

thus,

13.13 = $\frac{\pi}{64}\times d^4$

d = 4.04 inches

The required size of column is length = 15 ft and diameter = 4.04 inches
