Problem 3.132
Step 1: The control volume is as shown in Figure.
Step 2: The fluid is incompressible, isothermal and steady. Assume uniform velocity and
properties at inlet and exit. Additionally assume that the change in kinetic energy be-
tween 1 and 2 is small compared to change in potential energy.
Step 3: Conservation of mass leads to uin = uout and ˙min = ˙mout = ρ Q.

Problem 3.137
Step 1: The control volume is as shown in Figure.
Step 2: The fluid is incompressible, isothermal and steady. Assume uniform velocity and
properties at inlet and exit.
Step 3: Conservation of mass leads to Vin = VoutAout/Ain if Ain/Aout >> 1, then Vin ≃ 0.
Note that “in” refers to the surface and not that inlet of the suction pipe at which the
pressure is unknown.

Problem 3.143
Step 1: The control volume is as shown in Figure.
Step 2: The fluid is an ideal gas. The flow is compressible and unsteady. Assume spatially
(but not temporally) uniform properties in the control volume. Neglect potential energy
changes. Assume the velocity of the fluid inside the tank to be zero. Assume uniform
properties at inlet and that the inlet kinetic energy is very small compared to inlet en-
thalpy, i.e. V 2

Problem 3.144
Step 1: The control volume is as shown in Figure.
Step 2: The fluid is incompressible and steady. Assume uniform properties at sections 1,
2 and 3. The flow area A1 is much larger than A2 so that V1 ≃ 0. The friction head losses
are between 1 and 2. The losses between 2 and 3 are negligible.
Step 3: Conservation of mass between 1 and 2 leads to
V1 ≃ 0

In order to determine the exit angle θ that maximizes the horizontal distance so that
z3 − z2 is constant is obtained by applying Newton’s second law for a small fluid element
of volume δV and fixed mass ρ δV. Noting that the only force acting on this element is
gravity, then
d
dt (ρ δV u) = ρ δV g
du
dt = g
The horizontal and vertical components are
dw
dt = −g ⇒ w − w0 = −gt ⇒ w − V2 sin θ = −gt
du
dt = 0 ⇒ u = u0 = V2 cos θ ⇒ x = V2 cos θ t
At 3 w = 0, x = R/2 where R is the horizontal range to be maximized. At 3, eliminating
t from the above two equations leads to
R = 2 V2 cos θ V2 sin θ

It is clear that R is maximum when θ = π/4.
To determine V2, we first apply the conservation of energy between 2 and 3:

⇒

3 = 2 g (z3 − z2)
To relate V3 to V2, we apply conservation of momentum in the x direction for the control
volume consisting of the jet 2-3, we get
˙m V2 cos θ = ˙mV3

Substituting in the energy equation, we get

With θ = π/4, we get
V 2
2 = 4 g (z3 − z2)
With z3 − z2 = 25 m, we get V2 = 31.32 m/s.
To determine the power delivered to the pump, we apply conservation of energy between
