Exercise 2
1. Hypothesis:
• Estable fluid and incompresible
2. Data:
𝑚3
𝑉̇ = 𝑄 = 2 𝑠
ℎ𝐿 = 4𝑚
𝑡 = 10ℎ
𝑛𝑝𝑢𝑚𝑝−𝑚𝑜𝑡𝑜𝑟 = 80%
𝑛𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑏𝑖𝑛𝑒−𝑔𝑒𝑛𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑜𝑟 = 80%
3. Energy equation in 2 and 1 to determine 𝑾̇𝒑𝒖𝒎𝒑:
𝑝1 𝑣1 2 𝑝2 𝑣2 2
+ + 𝑧1 + ℎ𝑝𝑢𝑚𝑝 = + + 𝑧2 + ℎ𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑏𝑖𝑛𝑒 + ℎ𝐿
𝜌1 𝑔 2𝑔 𝜌2 𝑔 2𝑔
ℎ𝑝𝑢𝑚𝑝 = 𝑧2 + ℎ𝐿
𝑘𝑔 𝑚3 𝑘𝑔
𝑚̇ = 𝜌𝑉̇ = (1000 3 ) ∗ (2 ) = 2000
𝑚 𝑠 𝑠
𝑘𝑔 𝑚
̇ 𝑔
ℎ𝑝𝑢𝑚𝑝 ∗𝑚∗ (54𝑚)∗(2000 )∗(9.81 2 )
𝑊̇𝑝𝑢𝑚𝑝 = = 𝑠 𝑠
= 1324350 W → 1324.35kw
𝑛𝑝𝑢𝑚𝑝 0.8
ℎ𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑏𝑖𝑛𝑒 = 𝑧1 − ℎ𝐿
ℎ𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑏𝑖𝑛𝑒 = 50𝑚 − (4𝑚) = 46𝑚
2. Photographs:
𝑝1 𝑣1 2 𝑝2 𝑣2 2
+ + 𝑧1 = + + 𝑧2
𝜌𝑔 2𝑔 𝜌𝑔 2𝑔
We cancel both pressures because they are both atmospheric and we also cancel
𝑣1 and 𝑧2 because they are both cero:
𝑣2 2
𝑧1 =
2𝑔
𝑣2 = √𝑧1 2𝑔
4. Bernoulli equation in 3 and 2:
𝑝3 𝑣3 2 𝑝2 𝑣2 2
+ + 𝑧3 = + + 𝑧2
𝜌𝑔 2𝑔 𝜌𝑔 2𝑔
We cancel both velocities because they are the same, given that the área in the
siphon is the same and the caudal is constant. We also cancel 𝑧2 because its cero:
𝑝2 = 𝑝𝑎𝑡𝑚
𝑝
𝑝3 = ( 𝑎𝑡𝑚 − 𝑧3 )(𝜌𝑔)
𝜌𝑔
𝑝3 = 𝑝𝑎𝑡𝑚−𝑍3 𝜌𝑔
5. Detailed explanation of the siphon effect and applications in real life:
A siphon is a hydraulic mechanism, consisting of an inverted u-shaped tube, that’s used to
pass liquid from one container to another withouth the need of a pump. Where the containers
are at different heights and the water passes from the higher container to the lower one. At
first, air must be sucked from the siphon to create a vacuum and in this way our siphon begins
to suck water, the longest branch of the siphon contains more water and therefore more
weight, causing the water to fall through it and go up the short Branch. The water stops when
the first air drop enters to the siphon or when both water levels are equal. To see how this
works we can use bernoulli’s equation. As we explained it in the video with this equation we
can find the velocity of the water in the siphon and this is found in terms of height, reason
why if we increase the distance between the water level and the exit of the siphon, the velocity
of the water will be bigger. With this equation we can also find the pressure at the higher
point of the siphon.
This system has a lot of advantages, like for example by not using a pump significant energy
savings are made, its also a really easy effect to apply and it doesnt contaminate. But at the
same time there are disadvantages like it consumes much more time to transport water than
other mecanisms.
This effect has been used for many years, the Greeks and Romans used it for their pipelines
and aqueducts and currently we can find it in applications in our home, such as in our
bathrooms, in the toilets, to prevent bad odors from the drain pipes of going outside and also
in the sink where the siphon is in charge of connecting the sink drain with the pipes and
downspouts of the house's plumbing system.
