Figure Contains Water at 20°C. For Incompressible Flow, (A) Derive An Analytic Expression For DH/DT in Terms of (Q) - (B) If H Is Constant, Determine V For The Given Data If V / 01 - 0

This document provides solutions to two problems about fluid flow. (1) It derives an expression for the rate of change of fluid height in a tank over time in terms of the inlet and outlet flow rates. It then uses this to calculate the outlet velocity if the height is constant. (2) It calculates the fully mixed outlet velocity of a jet pump based on the inlet velocities and diameters using conservation of mass and assuming incompressible, steady flow.

ENSC 283 Week # 5, Tutorial # 4 – Conservation of Mass

Problem 1: The open tank in the 3

figure contains water at 20°C. For Q3  0.01 m3 / s


incompressible flow, (a) derive an
analytic expression for dh/dt in terms
of (Q1, Q2, Q3). (b) If h is constant,
1
determine V2 for the given data if V1 =
3 m/s and Q3 = 0.01 m3/s.
D 1  5 cm h
water

D 2  7 cm

Solution

Step 1: Write out what you are required to solve for (this is so you don’t
forget to answer everything the question is asking for)

Find:
– dh/dt as a function of Q1, Q2, Q3
– V2

Step 2: Prepare a data table

Step 3: State your assumptions (you may have to add to your list of
assumptions as you proceed in the problem)

Assumptions:
1) Incompressible flow (
2) The tank and pipes have circular cross-sections

Step 4: Calculations

(a) For a control volume enclosing the tank, conservation of mass can be
expressed as:

(Eq1)
0

The volume of the tank is:

(Eq2)

Substituting Eq2 into Eq1, we get:

Problem 2: The jet pump in the figure injects water at U1 = 40 m/s through
a 3-in pipe and entrains a secondary flow of water U2 = 3 m/s in the annular
region around the small pipe. The two flows become fully mixed
downstream, where U3 is approximately constant. For steady incompressible
flow, compute U3 in m/s.

Solution

Step 1: Write out what you are required to solve for (this is so you don’t
forget to answer everything the question is asking for)

Find:
– The velocity in fully mixed region, U3 in m/s

Step 3: State your assumptions (you may have to add to your list of
assumptions as you proceed in the problem)

Assumptions:
1) Steady incompressible flow

Step 4: Calculations

First modify the units:

2.54 10 (Eq2)
10 0.254

For incompressible flow, the volume flows at inlet and exit must match:

Solving the above equation, we get:
