Assignment AFM

The document provides an assignment brief for a fluid mechanics course. It includes two questions to be answered using Python or MATLAB. Q1 involves analyzing pump test data to calculate head, power, and efficiency at different flow rates. Q2 requires using a pressure gradient equation to evaluate the effect of velocity gradients in the xy-plane for given velocity components. The assignment is worth 30% and should be submitted by December 6th as a documented report with simulation files in a compressed folder.

*Conduct Q1 using python or MATLAB

Q1. The flow system used to test a centrifugal pump at a nominal speed of 1750 rpm is shown in figure
1. The liquid is water at 80 F, and the suction and discharge pipe diameters are 6 in. Data measured
during the test are given in the table 1. The motor is supplied at 460V, 3-phase, has a power factor of
0.875, and a constant efficiency of 80 percent.
Rate of flow (GPM) = [0 500 800 1000 1100 1200 1400 1500];
Suction pressure (psig) = -[3.7 4.2 4.7 5.7 6.2 6.7 7.7 8.4];
Discharge pressure(psig) = [53.3 48.3 42.3 34.3 31.3 27.3 15.3 7.3];
Motor Current (amp) = [18.0 26.2 31.0 36.0 37.0 37.3 39.0 41.5];
Pump Speed (RPM) = [1750 1745 1749 1750 1747 1752 1750 1753];

Calculate the net head delivered and the pump efficiency at a volume flow rate of 1000 gpm. Plot the
pump head, power, and efficiency as functions of volume flow rate.

𝐸𝑙𝑒𝑠𝑐𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑎𝑙 𝑃𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑟 = 𝑃𝑖𝑛 = 𝜂𝑚 √3𝐹𝑉𝑚 𝐼𝑚


Where:

𝜂𝑚 = 𝑚𝑜𝑡𝑜𝑟 𝑒𝑓𝑓𝑖𝑐𝑖𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑦
𝑉𝑚 = 𝑉𝑜𝑙𝑡𝑎𝑔𝑒 𝑎𝑝𝑝𝑙𝑖𝑒𝑑 𝑡𝑜 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑚𝑜𝑡𝑜𝑟
𝐼𝑚 = 𝑚𝑜𝑡𝑜𝑟 𝑐𝑢𝑟𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑡
𝐹 = 𝑃𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑟 𝑓𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑜𝑟 (𝑑𝑖𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑠𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑙𝑒𝑠𝑠)

Q2. Provided below velocity components determine the resulting pressure gradients when z is “up” and
gx = 0, gy = 0, and gz = -g. Use the below pressure gradient equation to find your solution. Evaluate the
mixed derivative to know the effect of velocity gradient in xy plane.
