Water enters a cylindrical tank through two pipes at rates of 250 and 100 gal/min. If the level of the water in the tank remains

tester [92]

Answer:

The total amount of water that enters the tank is:

250 gal/min + 100 gal/min = 350gal/min.

Then, if the level of the water remains constant, this means that the water leaves the tank at a rate of 350gal/min.

We know that the diameter of the pipe is 8 inches, then the area of the pipe is:

A = pi*(d/2)^2 = 3.14*(4in)^2 = 50.24in^2

now, the flow can be calculated as:

Q = v*A = (velocity*area)

if we want to write our velocity in inches per minute, then we need to write the entering flow in cubic inches:

1 gallon = 231 in^3

then:

350gal/min = (350*231) in^3/min = 80,850 in^3/min.

Then the water that leaves the tank must be the same amoun, we have:

Q = 80,850 in^3/min. = v*A = v*50.24in^2

v = (80,850in^3/min)/50.24in^2 = 1609.3 in/min.

The velocity of the flow leaving the tank is 1609.3 in/min.

The pressure drop needed to force water through a horizontal 1-in diameter pipe if 0.60 psi for every 12-ft length of pipe. Dete

oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

The shear stress at a distance 0.3-in away from the pipe wall is 0.06012lb/ft²

The shear stress at a distance 0.5-in away from the pipe wall is 0

Explanation:

Given;

pressure drop per unit length of pipe = 0.6 psi/ft

length of the pipe = 12 feet

diameter of the pipe = 1 -in

Pressure drop per unit length in a circular pipe is given as;

$\frac{\delta P}{L} = \frac{2 \tau}{r} \\\\$

make shear stress (τ) the subject of the formula

$\frac{\delta P}{L} = \frac{2 \tau}{r} \\\\\tau = \frac{\delta P *r}{2L}$

Where;

τ is the shear stress on the pipe wall.

ΔP is the pressure drop

L is the length of the pipe

r is the distance from the pipe wall

Part (a) shear stress at a distance of 0.3-in away from the pipe wall

Radius of the pipe = 0.5 -in

r = 0.5 - 0.3 = 0.2-in = 0.0167 ft

ΔP = 0.6 psi/ft

ΔP, in lb/ft² = 0.6 x 144 = 86.4 lb/ft²

$\tau = \frac{\delta P *r}{2L} = \frac{86.4 *0.0167}{2*12} =0.06012 \ lb/ft^2$

Part (b) shear stress at a distance of 0.5-in away from the pipe wall

r = 0.5 - 0.5 = 0

$\tau = \frac{\delta P *r}{2L} = \frac{86.4 *0}{2*12} =0$
