STATIC PRESSURE OF LIQUIDS, HYDRAULIC PRESSURE, ABSOLUTE AND GAUGE PRESSURE:

Numerical

Q1. A hydraulic press has a diameter ratio between the two piston of 8:1. The diameter of the larger piston is 600 mm and it is required to support a mass of 3500 kg. The press filled with hydraulic fluid of sp.gravity 0.8. Calculate the force required on the smaller piston to provide the required force: a) When the two pistons are at the same level. B) When the smaller piston is 2.6 m below the larger piston.

Solution.



















                                                           

F2=536.48N





















F2=625.94N

Q2. The diameter of the piston of a hydraulic jack is 6 times greater than the diameter of the plunger which is 200 mm. They are both at same height and made of same material. The piston weighs 100 N and supports a mass of 50 kg. The jack is filled with oil of density 900 kg/m3. Calculate the force required at the plunger to support the piston and mass if carries at a level 10 cm above that of plunger.

Solution:
























Q3. The ratio of the diameter of plunger and ram is 1:5, the diameter of plunger is 40 mm; find the weight lifted by the hydraulic press when the force is applied at plunger is 500 N.


Solution.    P1 = P2













F1 =62500N

Fluid Mechanics "Centrifugal Pumps"

Centrifugal Pumps : we'll just cover certain sections of it, it's on your course syllabus. But we'll start off looking at centrifugal pumps .  A very common type of pump. Swimming pool pumps, spa pumps, all kinds of pumps.  Quite a few of them are centrifugal pumps. I thought so. Okay,sometime this quarter, I don't think this early, you're going to run a test on a centrifugal pump in the fluids lab.  And from that test you're going to put together some performance curves for our centrifugal pump.   So, this is how we  test a centrifugal pump.  I'll go through the procedure that we use in our fluids lab.  We have a pump in a circuit with water in it, from a big reservoir.  The water is pumped through here, it goes around, back into the big reservoir.  We have flow meters in the test setup so we know what the flow rate Q is. We have pressure gauges at points one and two. A centrifugal pump is a radial type of a pump.  There's an impeller ...

First and Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics

 First law Of Thermodynamics; To understand thermodynamics well and to make any calculations in thermodynamics, it is extremely important that we have its basic rules. These are some of the basic laws of thermodynamics.The first law of thermodynamics in  will try to understand about this very useful rule through medium. Heat was not considered a form of energy when thermodynamics was developing. But after some time it was proved that heat is also a form of energy, after that an attempt to find a relationship between heat and work started. Heat and work are two different forms of the same entity, and that entity is called energy. This means that if heat is supplied to a system, it can come out as work, or as work is done on a system, it can come out as heat. While the relationship between heat and work came out, a new term introduced the whole world, which was called internal energy. The first law of thermodynamics shows the relation between heat, work and internal energy. F...
