SAMPLE EXERCISE:

. Initially,
a tank holds 500 kg salt solution containing 10% salt. A
stream enters at point (1) at a constant flow rate of 10 kg/h
containing 20% salt. A stream leaves at point (2) at a constant
rate of 5 kg/h. The tank is well-stirred. Derive an equation
relating the weight fraction wA of the salt in the tank at any time
t in hours. What is the weight fraction of salt after 10 hours?
How about after 1 day?

SAMPLE EXERCISE:

Water at 85.0°C is being stored in a large, insulated tank at


atmospheric pressure. It is being pumped at steady state from this
tank at point 1 by a pump at the rate of 0.567 m3 /min. The motor
driving the pump supplies energy at the rate of 7.45 kW. The water
passes through a heat exchanger, where it gives up 1 408 kW of heat.
The cooled water is then delivered to a second large open tank at
point 2, which is 20 m above the first tank. Calculate the final
temperature of the water delivered to the second tank. Neglect any
kinetic energy changes, since the initial and final velocities in the
tanks are essentially zero.

SAMPLE EXERCISE:

Water is flowing at a rate of 0.03154 m3 /s through a horizontal


nozzle and discharges to the atmosphere at point 2. The nozzle is
attached at the upstream end at point 1 and frictional losses are
considered negligible. The upstream ID is 0.0635 m and the
downstream 0.0286 m. Calculate the resultant force on the nozzle.
The density of water is 1 000 kg/m3 .

Sample exercise:

The viscosity of a liquid is to be determined by measuring the


pressure drop and velocity of the liquid in a capillary. The liquid used
has a density of 912 kg/m3 , and the capillary has a diameter of 2.222
mm and a length of 0.1585 m. The measured flow rate is 5.33 x 10−7
m3 /s of liquid and the pressure drop is 131 mm of water (996 kg/m3
). Neglecting end effects, calculate the viscosity of the liquid in Pa-s.
