BERNOULLI’S ENERGY THEOREM

PERLAS, JERSEY MAE G.


BSCE / 3 – A / TUPM - 1653

ENGR. SHEINA PALLEGA


INSTRUCTOR
NAME: JERSEY MAE G. PERLAS
TITLE: BERNOULLI’S ENERGY THEOREM

PROB 1: A HORIZONTAL PIPE GRADUALLY REDUCES FROM 300 MM DIAMETER


SECTION TO 100 MM DIAMETER SECTION. THE PRESSURE AT THE 300 MM SECTION
IS 100 KPA AND AT THE 100 MM SECTION IS 70 KPA. IF THE FLOW RATE IS 15
LITERS/SEC OF WATER, COMPUTE THE HEAD LOST (M) BETWEEN THE TWO
SECTIONS.

PROB 2: A DIVERGING TUBE DISCHARGES WATER FROM A RESERVOIR AT A DEPTH OF


10 M BELOW THE WATER SURFACE. THE DIAMETER OF THE TUBE GRADUALLY
INCREASES FROM 150 MM AT THE THROAT TO 225 MM OUTLET. NEGLECTING
FRICTION, DETERMINE THE MAXIMUM POSSIBLE RATE OF DISCHARGE (M3/S)
THROUGH THIS TUBE AND THE CORRESPONDING PRESSURE (KPA) AT THE THROAT.

PROB 3: DURING A FLOW OF 500 L/S, THE GAGE PRESSURE IS +68 KPA IN THE
HORIZONTAL 300 MM SUPPLY LINE OF A WATER TURBINE AND A -41 KPA AT A 450
MM SECTION OF THE DRAFT TUBE 2 M BELOW. ESTIMATE THE HORSEPOWER
OUTPUT OF THE TURBINE UNDER SUCH CONDITIONS ASSUMING EFFICIENCY OF
85%.
A. COMPUTE THE TOTAL HEAD EXTRACTED BY THE TURBINE IN M.
B. COMPUTE THE OUTPUT HORSEPOWER OF THE TURBINE.
C. ASSUMING AN EFFICIENCY OF 85%, COMPUTE THE HORSEPOWER INPUT OF THE
TURBINE.

TITLE: FUNDAMENTALS OF FLUID FLOW

PROB 4: A PIPELINE WITH A PUMP LEADS TO A NOZZLE AS SHOWN. FIND THE FLOW
RATE (FT3/S) WHEN PUMP DEVELOPS AN 80-FT HEAD AND THE INPUT HORSEPOWER
BY THE PUMP HAVING AN EFFICIENCY OF 88%. ASSUME HEAD LOST IN THE 6-IN PIPE
TO BE FIVE TIMES ITS VELOCITY HEAD WHILE THE HEAD LOST IN THE 4-IN PIPE TO
BE TWELVE TIMES ITS VELOCITY HEAD.

PROB 5: A 20 HP SUCTION PUMP OPERATING 70% EFFICIENCY DRAWS WATER FROM


A SUCTION LINE WHOSE DIAMETER IS 200 MM AND DISCHARGES INTO AIR
THROUGH A LINE WHOSE DIAMETER IS 150 MM. THE VELOCITY IN THE 150 MM LINE
IS 3.6 M/S. IF THE PRESSURE AT POINT A IN THE SUCTION PIPE IS 34 KPA BELOW THE
ATMOSPHERE, WHERE A IS 1.8 M BELOW B ON THE 150 MM LINE, DETERMINE THE
HEAD ADDED (M) BY THE PUMP AND MAXIMUM ELEVATION (M) ABOVE B TO WHICH
WATER CAN BE RAISED ASSUMING HEAD LOSS OF 3 M DUE TO FRICTION.
