Ques. A vented tanker is to be filled with fuel oil with p=920 kg/m2 and u=0.045 kg/m.

s
from an underground reservoir using a 20-m-long, 5-cm-diameter plastic hose with a
slightly rounded entrance and two 90° smooth bends. The elevation difference between
the oil level in the reservoir and the top of the tanker where the hose is discharged is 5
m. The capacity of the tanker is 18 m and the filling time is 30 min. Taking the kinetic
energy correction factor at hose discharge to be 1.05 and assuming an overall pump
efficiency of 82 percent,

(1). determine the required power input to the pump.


Sol.V=Volume of Tanker
Win= Power input in to the pump
PA= ambient Pressure

V=V/A= 18x104 /(60x30xπ/4x52)


V=5.092

F= .316/Re.25
Re=(920x5.092x5)/(100x0.45)
Re=5205.155
f=.316/8.49

P1+V12/2g+Z1=P2+V22/2+Z2g-Win+▲pf

Win=(Z2-Z1)g+(fl/2+1.005)V2/2
=5x9.81+(15.938)x5.0922/2
=242.06
Win= 255.67J/kg
W= 255.67x(18/1800)x920
Winp= 255.67x(9.2/.82)
=2868.49
(2).Sketch the energy line and hydraulic grade line.
Ans.

Energy heat at A, HA=PA/ ῥg+V12/2g+Z1+Win/ῥGq

PB= PA=ambient Pressure=1.01325bar


V1= 5.029m/s Z1=0
Win=255.67 J/kg
HA= 101.325/9.81(5.029)2/(2x9.81)+0+255.67/9.81
=27.351+10.32m
=37.679m

Energy Head at B, HB
HB =P0/ῥg+Vb2/2g+Z2
=0+1.321+5
= 6.3215m+10.32
=16.6415m

HG head at A = P1/ῥg+Z1+W1/ῥgQ
HA= 26.062m+10.32
HA=36.382M

Functional Head loss Hf=fxlxV2/2dg


= 0.0372x20x(5.092)2/(2x5x10 -2x9.81)
=19.66m

HG head at B =hB =PB/ῥg+Z1


=.5+10.32
=15.32m Energy line

Hydraulic grade line

V12/2g=1.33m
Hf=19.66m
HA=37.679m
𝑉22/ῥg=1.321m
hA=36.382m
H B 16.641m
hB=15.32 m

.
(3).Use the Pipe Flow Wizard software and find the simulation Write the details solution
and explain the value of each parameter (if some are 0 explain why)?

Problem.This software is not only trail version. So the pipe Diameter is only
calculate 25mm

(4). Determine if the flow is laminar or turbulent between the 2 points of interest.

Ans. Q = 18/30x60 =10-2 m3/s.

V=Q/A = 10-2/ π /4x(5x10-2)2

= 10-2 x104x4/πx25
V=5.092 m/s.

Re= ῥVD/µ

=920x5.092x5x10-2/0.045

Re=5205.155

Since Re>4000 Hence the flow is turbulent.
