What is the hydraulic gradient line?
Think about how pressure is distributed in a flowing liquid.
Identify the purpose of a pitot tube.
What device converts kinetic energy to potential energy for measurement?
What does the hydraulic gradient line represent in a fluid system?
What does this line indicate about fluid pressure?
True or False: A turbine increases the pressure of fluid.
Think about the role of turbines in energy extraction.
A pump increases the pressure of water from 100 kPa to 300 kPa while double the velocity. Using Bernoulli's equation, calculate the potential energy difference involved.
Apply Bernoulli's principles to assess energy differentials.
In a turbine operating an ideal cycle, the velocity of fluid entering is 5 m/s and exiting 3 m/s. How would this be represented in pressure drop?
Consider how the momentum change relates to energy conservation.
