Tutorial 2

This document contains multiple questions related to fluid mechanics: 1. It asks to calculate the power requirement to pump water through a coaxial annular conduit given the inlet/outlet dimensions, flow rate, and assumption of similar pressures. 2. It asks to calculate the loss value for a fan drawing air through pipes of given diameters and pressure rise, given the flow properties. 3. It asks to estimate the maximum diameter of a spherical catalyst particle that could flow through a fluid cracking unit, given the gas velocity, viscosity, and particle/gas densities. 4. It asks to calculate the friction drag on an aircraft's wings given its wingspan area, flight speed and altitude, air densities, and

Water at 60F is being delivered from a pump through a coaxial annular conduit 20.3 ft long at a rate of 240 Gal min. the !nner and outer diameters are 3 and " inch. !f the inlet is # ft lo$er than outlet $hat is the po$er re%uirement to pump this $ater. Use hydraulic radius approach. What is a good assumption for this? A good assumption is that pressures at both ends are similar. & fan dra$ing 0.'4 W is used to move air at a mass flo$ rate of 0.' (g min. the upstream suction pipe of the fan is 60 mm and do$nstream pipe diameter is 30 mm. the rise is pressure across the fan is 0.'()a. The overall velocit* profile is uniform $ith the upstream flo$ laminar but the do$nstream flo$ turbulent. +alculate the loss value. ,stimate the maximum diameter of a spherical catal*st that could be lost in the stac( gas of a fluid crac(ing unit given follo$ing conditions -%uestion from ./01 Gas velocit* at the centre of the unit 2 0.3043 m sec4' Gas viscosit* 2 0.026 c) 5ensit* gas 2 ".#"" e4" (gcm43 5ensit* particle 2 '.2 g cm43 6odern aircrafts have have refined to a great extent such that "#7 of the parasitic drag -drag that is not associated $ith creating lift1 is associated $ith the friction on external surfaces.
