4

2-40

110 psia

Apply conservation of linear momentum to the pistons

2-62

3.39 kPa

 

2-69

562.5 kgm3

 

5

2-96

12.0 kPa; 2.0 m

 

10-16

30,900 lbf

Use hydrostatic force concepts to find force of water on gate and then use this information along with cons. of linear momentum to analyze the gate.

6

10-34

1050 N

 

10-45

9.64 x 108 N; 17.1 m;

8.35 x 108 N

This is the total force (sum of the force due to the atmospheric pressure AND the water). The answer would be different if you just used the force due to the water alone. If you were attempting to study the dam to see if the water will move the dam, the forces due to atmospheric pressure would just cancel out. HOWEVER, if there was a very small leak under the dam, the hydrostatic force pushing up vertically on the dam would increase the possibility of tipping the dam.

2.43 m/s

Apply Bernoulli between the free surface of the gasoline and the leak opening in the tank wall.

12-35

0.52 in

Apply Bernoulli (correctly) along any single streamline between section 1 and section 2. Section 1 and section 2 are located directly over the opening of the manometer. Recognizing that the pressure variation across parallel streamlines is hydrostatic.

12-41

6.24 cm

Apply Bernoulli (correctly) along any single streamline between section 1 and section 2. Section 1 and section 2 are located directly over the opening of the manometer. Recognizing that the pressure variation across parallel streamlines is hydrostatic.

12-42

4.48 ft3/s

Apply Bernoulli (correctly) along any single streamline between section 1 and section 2. Section 1 and section 2 are located directly over the opening of the manometer. Recognizing that the pressure variation across parallel streamlines is hydrostatic.

12-46

33.8 m/s

12-61

68.7 kPa

Apply mechanical energy balance between two locations where information is known so that you have one equation and one unknown.

12-64

0.204 m, 40 W

The useful pumping power is just the pumping power that would be required to overcome the losses in the fitting. Physically this is the size of a pump required to circulate a fluid at the specified rate in a closed loop that consists of only the fitting and a pump.

12-56

2.4 W; 6.9 cm; 40 Pa

Fan-motor efficiency is the ratio of the (Power into the air from the fan)/(Electrical power into the fan motor). Apply mechanical energy balance.

11

12-65

55 kW

Mechanical energy balance.

11

12-69

50.9 m/s; 201 kW

Mechanical energy balance.

12

12-63

Pump 1150 kW; Turbine 530 kW

Mechanical energy balance

14-38

69.9 kPa; 4.40 kW

Friction factor relation. Is the flow laminar OR turbulent?  It makes a difference

13

14-42

14.2 lbf/ft2; 0.37 W

Friction factor relation. Is the flow laminar OR turbulent?  It makes a difference.

14-45

124 Pa

Friction factor relation. Is the flow laminar OR turbulent? It makes a difference.

217 W

Write MEB between the pump inlet and the pump inlet. You are left with an expression for w_pump in terms of the gh_loss.

14

14-75

0.00595 m3/s

If you write the MEB between 1 and 2, you end up with a single equation that ONLY depends on the velocity in one of the pipes ---- that means if I gave you the velocity you could solve for everything else in the equation. HOWEVER, only one unique value of the velocity will satisfy the equation! So this requires an iterative solution like EXAMPLE 14-5 in the textbook. Think of moving everything to one side of the equal sign … 0 = F(V) where there is only one V value that will make this true --- V is the root of the equation. So you can plot (solve) for F(V) versus V and see when F(V)=0.
