Question: A suction apparatus is being designed based on the Venturi principle to lift submerged objects in water. The temperature of the water through the Venturi

A suction apparatus is being designed based on the Venturi principle to lift submerged objects in water. The temperature of the water through the Venturi and the tank is 10C. The suction cup is positioned 1.0 m
below the water surface and the Venturi throat is located 1.0 m below the water surface. The ratio of the throat area to the outlet area is 0.25, the outlet area is
1000 mm2
. The area of the suction cup is 0.1m2
.
Determine a) the volumetric flow rate through the system,
for conditions of maximum lift (the pressure in the throat is equal to the vapor pressure).
b) the maximum load that the suction cup can sustain. The atmospheric
pressure is 100 kPa. Esquema de la instalacin del orificio
