    Understanding Bernoulli's Theory: Explained for Fluid Mechanics

    Ok thank you, so you potential for the 10m tap would be total head 52.5 - the water head and the 10ms?? So how would this be expressed in pascals as apposed to meters??!

    Understanding Bernoulli's Theory: Explained for Fluid Mechanics

    The question i am relating it to is from the below. To calculate static pressure is this the potential pressure + atmospheric pressure = static? We were also asked to tabulate our results with 4 columns: Static, Potential, Dynamic and Total pressures, and were told all totals should be the...

    Understanding Bernoulli's Theory: Explained for Fluid Mechanics

    I am trying to understand how total pressure is calculated and how all system outlets will equal the same pressure (constant) within a system as bernoulli states. To answer your question the static pressure increased as the potential increased, and to calculate the static pressure i just...

    Understanding Bernoulli's Theory: Explained for Fluid Mechanics

    Right so can you take a look at the following for me: (using 1000kg/m3 - density, 9.81m/s - gravity and 101325Pa Atmos) Tap 1 - 5m of head Potential (p.g.h) = 1000 x 9.81 x 5 = 49050Pa Static = 49050Pa + 101325Pa Atmos Dynamic (0.5pv2) = 49005Pa Total for tap 1 = 199380 Tap...

    Understanding Bernoulli's Theory: Explained for Fluid Mechanics

    Hello, I am studying fluid mechanics and we have worked on Bernoullis theory a lot over the past couple of years. I am really struggling to grasp the concept of the theory and what it is about. Bernoulli states that in a system the pressure will always be constant (hence Pt = Ps + Pv + Ph) at...

    Finding h2 Using Steam Tables and Enthalpy Equations

    Hello again...i was wondering if you can help? I am using enthalpy equations to try and find h1 and h2 to work out 'work and heat transfers' for water, for a piston type question. I have calculated work done using: [w = -PDV] To find the heat transfer i need to use: [Q=m.(h2-h1)] i...

    Thermodynamic Questions and Solutions for Steam and Gas Turbine Plants

    Thats great, but i have a few more questions if you have the time...Does that take into account the feed heater? and where does the water leaving the condenser come into it, as it enters the feed heater at 50 degrees C? Its asking for the mass flow rate entering the feed heater? In your...

    Thermodynamic Questions and Solutions for Steam and Gas Turbine Plants

    Yes that's no problem, i have steam tables that cover a whole range of enthalpys and entropys!... So I find out wat the H's and S's are at 400 degrees C @ 40 bar, then i have for phase 1: enthalpy, entropy, Temp and Pressure. Whats the next step. I always have an email address if its not...

    Thermodynamic Questions and Solutions for Steam and Gas Turbine Plants

    lalbatros, You have been most helpful in your response. I probably didnt make myself clear enough in my original query. On the steam turbine question, i have no problem drawing the schematic diagram, what i am really struggling with is the second part of the question and calculating the...
