Question: Problem 1 a ) Given the system shown in the Figure below, calculate the required power of the pump to deliver water from the bottom

Problem 1
a) Given the system shown in the Figure below, calculate the required power of the pump to
deliver water from the bottom to the upper tank at a rate of 0.34m3min. All of the piping is
10.16cm internal diameter smooth circular pipe. Consider the following localized viscous
dissipations along with the corresponding friction loss factors reported in parenthesis:
sudden fluid contraction (0.45),90 deg elbow (0.5), and sudden fluid expansion (1).2 points
The density of water can be assumed to be equal to 1gcm3, and the viscosity of 1mPa.s
b) Calculate the power of the pump considering various pipe rugosity (k) of the pipe: 0.001016,
0.004064,0.01016,0.04064cm. Plot the power of the pump as a function of the friction
factor f and draw a trendline through the data. 2 points
c) Discuss interventions to the system in order to reduce the power of the pump. Motivate your
choice/s quantitatively using also the mechanical energy balance. 1 points Applying energy balance equation then,
dqconv=mCpdTm
For part (a)
dqconve=q'dx
ax.dx=mCpdTm
ax=mCpdTmdx
a0xxdx=mCpTmTdTm
Tm(x)=(Tm)1+ax22TmCp
For part (b)
The outlet temperature of the water for a heated section 30m long:
Tm(30)=27+20(30)22(4503,600)4,180=44.2249C The outlet temperature of the water for a heated section 30m long:
Tm(30)=27+20(30)22(4503,600)4,180=44.2249C
Explanation:
Here, we derived the expression for temperature distribution with the help of energy balance equation in a control volume system that is -
dqconve=q'dx
Step 2
For part (c)
qs'=ax
qs'=qconv=h(x)d[Ts(x)-Tm(x)]
So, fully developed flow is h= constant and temperature varies linearly.
For developing flow h(x) decrease with increasing in distance. For part (d)
For uniform wall heating,
q=qs''DL=mCp(Tm0-Tm1)
qs''=4503,6004,180(44.2249-27)D30
qs''=95.493DWm2
Explanation:
Here, we derived heat flux and and shows the mean fluid temperature for fully developed and developing flow conditions.
Answer
For part (a)-Tm(x)=(Tm)1+ax22TmCp
For part (b)-44.2249C
For part (c)- The diagram is shown above.
For part (d)-qs''=95.493DWm2
