    Big
    An engineering company is designing a fluid circuit to transport water from reservoir A to B. The summary is: 1) Water will flow through a 75m long, 50mm diameter pipe connecting the two reservoirs. 2) The flow rate needs to be estimated taking into account the pipe diameter, length, and fluid properties of water. 3) Various loss coefficients are provided for components in the circuit like valves and elbows that will impact the flow rate calculation.

    An engineering company is designing a fluid circuit.

    Water (ρ = 1000 kgm -3 ; µ = 1 X10-3


    Pa.s) flows under gravity from reservoir A to B both of which are of large diameter, as
    shown in Figure 1 below. Estimate the flow rate of the water through the smooth
    walled 50 mm diameter connecting pipe of total length of 75 m.

    QUESTION 2: Mixing and agitation

    2.1 A six blade turbine agitator (flat blade) is installed in a tank. The tank diameter
    is 1.83 m, the turbine width is 0.122 m. The Reynolds number were
    calculated to be 5.185X104. The tank contains symmetrical baffles equally
    spaced, each having a width of 0.15 m. The turbine is operated at 90 rpm
    and the liquid in the tank has a viscosity of 0.01 Pa.s and a density of 929
    kg/m3.
    a) Calculate the required kW of the mixer.

    (6 marks)
    b) Calculate the % difference in kW required if the viscosity of the solution
    increases by 10000 fold.
