Answer:
Water enters a centrifugal pump axially at atmospheric pressure at a rate of 0.12 m3/s and at a velocity of 7 m/s, and leaves in the normal direction along the pump casing, as shown in Fig. PI3-39. Determine the force acting on the shaft (which is also the force acting on the bearing of the shaft) in the axial direction.
Step-by-step solution:
Step 1 of 5
Given data:-
The velocity of water is .
The water flow rate is.
