    Fluid Dynamics–Find pipe diameter,head loss & actual mean velocity.

    Thanks for your comment Chestermiller much appreciated. So I have now used the following Darcy equation for turbulent flow Hf=4LCfUm^2/2gd (Cf obtained from Moody diagram) So = 4*27*0.004*0.9^2 / 2*9.81*0.12 Hf=0.143m of fluid. Is this the correct method?? Cheers.

    Fluid Dynamics–Find pipe diameter,head loss & actual mean velocity.

    1. Homework Statement a) Calculate the theoretical diameter of pipe, nominal pipe diameter and mean velocity of nominal pipe diameter. Maximum velocity = 1.8m/s Q(vol. flow rate) = 0.01M^3-1 b) Find the Reynolds number for the process and then the head loss due to friction, state any...

    Input Power against time graph - Flywheel rest to 300rpm

    Hello Steamking, Thanks very much for your help the penny has finally dropped! I think I wouldn't have got there if you hadn't of pointed me in the right direction. Thanks again much appreciated.

    Input Power against time graph - Flywheel rest to 300rpm

    When I do as you suggested - The ang. acc.of the flywheel is the moment of inertia of the flywheel divided by the torque. For a constant torque, the ang. acc. is constant. This gives me the figure I had worked out for the Output shaft Torque not the Input shaft Torque value! Disregard above...

    Input Power against time graph - Flywheel rest to 300rpm

    I had worked out the ang. vel for each 5 sec interval and then was messing around to check it and input ang. vel for 300rpm divided by acceleration to get the time taken. So 10pi/0.167pi = 59.98sec ... So is how I worked out each ang. vel correct? i.e final ang vel=initial and vel +...

    Input Power against time graph - Flywheel rest to 300rpm

    Ok so I worked out my constant acceleration from this kinematic equation final ang speed=initial ang speed + acceleration . time using 60sec as per question for time. Then using the constant acceleration figure I changed the time in the equation to 5sec.10sec etc to work out all the angular...

    Input Power against time graph - Flywheel rest to 300rpm

    Thanks for your reply. P=T. angular velocity I was thinking today I have worked out the input torque and input power required when the output shaft is at 300rpm so do I work out the input power from 60rpm down to 0 I.e at rest. But how can I do this if I only know the rpm eg 50,40,30etc...

    Input Power against time graph - Flywheel rest to 300rpm

    Hello, Homework Statement A gearbox and flywheel are as shown in FIGURE 4. The output shaft rotates in the opposite direction to the input shaft at 5 times its speed. The gearbox has an efficiency of 92%. If the flywheel is solid, has a mass of 50 kg, a diameter of 1.5 m and is to...

    Gear Train question with centre distance limit

    Hello please see my problem below, 1. A gear train is to be designed to transmit power from shaft 1 to shaft 2 with the following condition: (i) Shaft 1 (driven by an electric motor) rotates at 100 revs min–1. (ii) Shaft 2 is to rotate at 400 revs min–1 in the opposite direction to shaft 1...
