SOAL TUTORIAL KE-7 MEKANIKA FLUIDA I (MS2231)

1. Five liters/s of water enter the rotor shown in Fig. P5.76 along the axis of rotation. The
cross-sectional area of each of the three nozzle exits normal to the relative velocity is 18
mm2. How large is the resisting torque required to hold the rotor stationary? How fast will
the rotor spin steadily if the resisting torque is reduced to zero for = 60.

2. A simplified sketch of a hydraulic turbine runner is shown in Fig. P5.78. Relative to the
rotating runner, water enters at section (1) (cylindrical cross section area A1 at r1 = 1.5 m)
at an angle of 1000 from the tangential direction and leaves at section (2) (cylindrical
cross section area A2 at r2 = 0.85 m ) at an angle of 500 from the tangential direction. The
blade height at sections (1) and (2) is 0.45 m and the volume flowrate through the turbine
is 30 m3/s. The runner speed is 130 rpm in the direction shown. Determine the shaft
power developed.
3. What is the maximum possible power output of the hydroelectric turbine shown in
Fig.P5.108?

4. Water is to be moved from one large reservoir to another at a higher elevation as

indicated in Fig. P5.121. The loss of available energy associated with 2.5 ft3/s being
pumped from sections (1) to (2) is loss = 61V2/2 ft2/s2, where V is the average velocity of
water in the 8-in. inside diameter piping involved. Determine the amount of shaft power
required.
5. Air flows past an object in a pipe of 2-m diameter and exits as a free jet as shown in Fig.
P5.125. The velocity and pressure upstream are uniform at 10 m/s and 50 N/m 2,
respectively. At the pipe exit the velocity is non-uniform as indicated. The shear stress
along the pipe wall is negligible. (a) Determine the head loss associated with a particle as
it flows from the uniform velocity upstream of the object to a location in the wake at the
exit plane of the pipe. (b) Determine the force that the air puts on the object.

6. Two water jets collide and form one homogeneous jet as shown in Fig. P5.130. (a)
Determine the speed, V, and direction, , of the combined jet. (b) Determine the loss for a
fluid particle flowing from (1) to (3), from (2) to (3). Gravity is negligible.
