Fluid Mechanics Lesson 6

This document contains 6 problems related to fluid mechanics in rotating or accelerating vessels. Problem 1 involves calculating the maximum horizontal acceleration and force on water in an open tank. Problem 2 calculates the acceleration of a closed tank filled with water. Problem 3 determines the amount of water spilled from an open rotating cylindrical vessel. Problems 4-6 involve open or closed cylindrical vessels filled with water, oil, or glycerin, calculating angular speeds, amounts spilled or discharged, pressures, and material stresses from rotation.

Module 6

Problem 1
An open rectangular tank mounted on a truck is 5 m long, 2 m wide and 2.5 m high is filled with
water to a depth of 2 m
a.) What maximum horizontal acceleration can be imposed on the tank without spilling any
water and
Determine the accelerating force on the liquid mass?
b.) If the acceleration is increased to 6 m/s2, how much water is spilled?
Ans; 1.962 m/s2; 39.24 kN; 9.8 m3

Problem 2

A closed rectangular tank 4 m long, 2 m wide, and 2 m high is filled with water to a depth
of 1.8 m. if the allowable force at the rear wall of the tank is 200 kN. How fast can it be
accelerated horizontally?
Ans; 13.72 m/ sq. sec.

Problem 3 (Rotating Vessel)

An open cylindrical vessel 1.2 m in diameter and 2.1 m high is 2/3 full of water. compute
the amount of water in liters that will be spilled out is the vessel is rotated about its vertical axis
at a constant angular speed of 90 rpm.
Ans; 130 liters

Problem 4(Rotating Vessel)

An open vertical cylindrical vessel, 2 m in diameter and 4 m high is filled with water to
the top. If rotated on its own vertical axis in order to discharge a quantity of water to uncover a
circular area at the bottom of the vessel 1 m in diameter
a.) determine the angular speed in rpm,
b.) how much water is left in the cylinder after rotation?
Ans; 97.65 rpm; 4.716 cu. m.

Problem 5 (Rotating Vessel)

A 1.90 m diameter closed cylinder, 2.75 m high is completely filled with oil having sp. gr.
Of 0.8 under a pressure of 5 kg/cm2 at the top
a.) what angular speed can be imposed on the cylinder so that the maximum pressure at the
bottom of the tank is 14 kg/cm2?
b.) Compute the pressure force exerted by oil on the side of the tank in kg.
Ans; 466.44 rpm; 2.28x10^6 kg

Problem 6(Rotating Vessel)

A 1.8 m diameter closed cylinder, 2.7 m high is completely filled with glycerin having sp.
gr. Of 1.6 under a pressure of 245 kPa at the top. The steel plates which form the cylinder are 5
mm thick with an ultimate tensile stress of 82 MPa. How fast can it be rotated about its vertical
axis to the point of bursting?
