#4.(15) Water flows in the annulus between a casing and a shaft. The cross-sectional area of the annulus is constant at A. Rotating at Omega, the blade does work and increases the pressure of the flow (P_(1) P_(2)). Calculate the required torque T to get Delta P=P_(2)-P_(1). Note that only
thing rotating is the blade. For the simplicity, assume the following:
i)1D flow (no radial and circumferential, only axial velocity exist).
ii) The velocity does not change while passing through the blade.
iii) Only the rotating blade does work on the flow.
iv) The change in the temperature is negligible.
v) Steady, incompressible, axisymmetric, and uniform flow.
