Hi everyone,
I've got a question regarding the energy calculation:
Estimate the power required to pump milk at 20°C at 2.7 m s
-1 through a 4 cm diameter steel tube that is 130 m long, including the kinetic energy and the friction energy. The viscosity of milk at 20
0C is 2.2x10
-3, density is 1030kg/m
3.The roughness for steel is from 0.9mm to 9mm
At first, I calculated the potential and kinetic energy,
E
p =hg= 1275.3(J)
E
k = v
2/2 = 3.645(J)
Reynold number = density x velocity x diameter/viscosity = 50563.6 so the flow here is turbulent
The tube here is made of steel, I chose 9mm for the roughness e.
For turbulent flow:
C
f = 0.001375(1+(20000e/d+106/Re)
0.33) = 0.0235
The energy of friction loss:
E
f = 2C
fv
2L/D = 1112.6(J)
So the total energy for pumping is :
E = E
p + E
k + E
f = 2391.55J
So the total energy required:
E x mass flow rate = E x velocity x cross sectional area x density = 8380.12Js
-1The result in textbook is just 297.05J
I'm confused since I don't know where and when I was wrong. Plz help me with this .
Thanks a lot
