water is pumped at a rate of 32 m3 /s from the reservoir and out through the pipe, which has a diameter of 1.50 m. what power must be supplied to the water to effect this discharge?

Respuesta :

The power must be supplied to the water to effect this discharge is 28174.32 kW.

Why is Reynolds number used?

The ratio of viscous forces to inertial forces is known as the Reynolds number. A dimensionless number called the Reynolds number is used to group fluid systems where the influence of viscosity plays a significant role in regulating the velocities or the flow pattern of a fluid.

Discharge = Q = 32 m³/s

Velocity of flow=V=Q/A = 32/( π(1.5)²/4)= 18.11 m/s

Reynold's no is given by

Re = VD/v = (18.11)(1.5)/(1.31x10⁻⁶) = 20736641.22

For steel pipe

Roughness = e = 0.045 mm

Relative roughness = E= e/D= (0.045x10⁻³)/1.5=0.00003

Friction factor from Moody's diagram is

f = 0.00988

Apply Bernoulli's theorem b/w top of left reservoirs and exit of pipe

A - denote left reservoir and B- denote exit of pipe

Pa/y + V₂²/2g + Za + hp = Pb/ γ+Vb²/2g + Zb + hf

Where

Pa= Pb=0

Va= 0, Vb = V = 18.11 m/s

Za = (100-95) = 5 m, Zb=(140-95) = 45 m

Frictional head loss =hf = flV²/2gD= (0.00988x300x18.11²)/(2x9.81x1.5)

Frictional head loss = hf = 33.03 m

hp = pump head

Putting values

0+0+5+hp = 0 +18.11²/(2x9.81) +45 +33.03

=> hp = 89.75 m

Power that must be supplied is given by

P = γQhp

P = 9.81x32x89.75

P = 28174.32 kW.
