P1. A sketch of the arithmetic mean radius blade sections of an axial-flow water
turbine stage is shown in Fig. P1. The rotor speed is 1500 rpm. (a) Sketch and
label velocity triangles for the flow entering and leaving the rotor row. Use V for
absolute velocity, W for relative velocity, and U for blade velocity. Assume flow
enters and leaves each blade row at the blade angles shown. (b) Calculate the
work per unit mass delivered at the shaft.

P2.- An inward flow radial turbine (see Fig. P2) involves a nozzle angle, 1, of 60o
and an inlet rotor tip speed, U1 of 9 m/s. The ratio of rotor inlet to outlet
diameters is 2.0. The radial component of velocity remains constant at 6 m/s
through the rotor, and the flow leaving the rotor at section (2) is without angular Fig. P1
momentum. (a) If the flowing fluid is water and the stagnation pressure drop
across the rotor is 110 kPa, determine the loss of available energy across the rotor
and the efficiency involved. (b) If the flowing fluid is air and the static pressure
drop across the rotor is 0.07 kPa, determine the loss of available energy across
the rotor and the rotor efficiency.

P3.- A 37-cm-diameter centrifugal pump, running at 2140 r/min with water at

20C, produces the following performance data:

(a) Determine the best efficiency point. (b) Plot CH versus CQ. (c) If we desire to Fig. P2
use this same pump family to deliver 7000 gal/min of kerosene at 20C at an input
power of 400 kW, what pump speed (in r/min) and impeller size (in cm) are needed? What head will be developed?

P4. - Water at 20C is to be pumped through 2000 ft of pipe from reservoir 1

to 2 at a rate of 3 ft3/s, as shown in Fig. P4. If the pipe is cast iron of diameter
6 in and the pump is 75 percent efficient. Consider this problem as an exercise
in pump selection. Select an impeller size and rotational speed from the Byron
Jackson pump family (Table P1) to deliver a flow rate of 3 ft3/s to the system
of Fig. P1 at minimum input power. Calculate the horsepower required.

diameter centrifugal water pump at 2134 r/min. Fig. P4

P5. - The system of Fig. P6 is designed to deliver water at 20C from a

sea-level reservoir to another through new cast iron pipe of diameter
38 cm. Minor losses areK1 = 0.5 before the pump entrance and K2 =
7.2 after the pump exit. (a) Select a pump from either Fig. 11.7a or
11.7b, running at the given speeds, that can perform this task at
maximum efficiency. Determine (b) the resulting flow rate, (c) the Fig. P5
brake horsepower, and (d) whether the pump as presently situated is
safe from cavitation.

P6.- You are asked to consider a pump geometrically similar to the 9-in-diameter Taco pump of Fig. P11.34 to deliver 1200
gal/min at 1500 r/min. Determine the appropriate (a) impeller diameter, (b) BEP horsepower, (c) shutoff head, and (d)
maximum efficiency. The fluid is kerosene, not water
P7.- El supervisor de April le pide encontrar una bomba de
reemplazo que incremente el caudal por la tubera del
problema 14-41 (Yunus Cengel, pag. 808) por un factor de
2 o mayor. April busca en algunos folletos en lnea y
encuentra una bomba con los datos de operacin que se
muestran en la tabla P4. Las dimensiones y parmetros son
los mismos que en el problema
14-41 (Yunus Cengel), slo se TABLA P4
cambia la bomba. a) Efecte un
ajuste de curva de mnimos
cuadrados (anlisis de regresin)
de Hdisponible contra Q2, y calcule los
valores de mejor ajuste de los
coeficientes H0 y a que traducen
los datos tabulados de la tabla P4
en la expresin parablica
Hdisponible = H0 - aQ2. Grafique los
datos como los valores numricos y el ajuste de curva como
una lnea para comparacin. b) Use la expresin obtenida
en el inciso a) para estimar el caudal de operacin de la
nueva bomba si se reemplazara la bomba existente con
todo lo dems igual. Logr su objetivo April? c) Construya
una grfica de la carga hidrosttica neta requerida y la carga
hidrosttica neta disponible como funciones de caudal e
indique el punto de operacin sobre la grfica.
P8.- Performance data for a very small (D= 8.25 cm) model water turbine, operating with an available head of 49 ft, are as
follows:

(a) What type of turbine is this likely to be? (b) What is so different about these data compared to the dimensionless
performance plot in Fig. 11.22d? Suppose it is desired to use a geometrically similar turbine to serve where the available head
and flow are 150 ft and 6.7 ft3/s, respectively. Estimate the most efficient (c) turbine diameter, (d) rotation speed, and (e)
horsepower.
