MECHANICAL ENGINEERING UPVOTE WILL BE GIVEN. PLEASE WRITE THE COMPLETE SOLUTIONS LEGIBLY. SHOW THE STEP-BY-STEP PROCESS WITH SHORT COMMENT/EXPLANATION. ANSWER IN 4 DECIMAL PLACES. Two gaseous streams containing the same fluid enters a mixing chamber and leaves as a single stream. For the first gas the entrance conditions are A1=500 cm², v1=230 m/s, p1=1.60 kg/m³. For the second gas the entrance conditions are A2= 300 cm³, m2=8.84 kg/s, v2=0.502 m³/kg. The exit stream conditions is v3=130 m/s and v3=0.437 m3/kg. Determine the following: (a) the total mass flow leaving the chamber (kg/sec) (b) the velocity of the gas at 2. (m/sec)
1.1 Find the rate at which water will flow in each pipe, ignoring the shock losses at P and entry to pipelines A and B. 1.2 Find the pressure at P. QUESTION 2 The diameter of an open-topped tank 1.5 m high increases uniformly from 4.2 m at the [2 base to 6 m at the top. Discharge from the base of the tank takes place through a 75mm diameter pipe which is 3 m in length. The pipe discharges the water to the atmosphere 1.5 m below the base of the tank. Initially, the tank is fully filled with water. Take f = 0.01. Find the time to empty the tank. QUESTION 3 Water must flow over a distance of 2 800 m from a large catchment dam to a turbine. [10 The water level in the catchment dam is 1 620 m above sea level and the turbine is situated 1 275 m above sea level. The efficiency of transmission is 65% and 300 kW must be transmitted from the pipeline to the turbine.
