Chapter 3 Problem p3.20

Question

Oil (SG 5 0.89) enters at section 1 in Fig. P3.20 at a weight fl ow of 250 N/h to lubricate a thrust bearing. The steady oil fl ow exits radially through the narrow clearance between thrust plates. Compute ( a ) the outlet volume fl ow in mL/s and ( b ) the average outlet velocity in cm/s.

Solution

Step 1 of 4)

The first step in solving 3 problem number 20 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Oil (SG 5 0.89) enters at section 1 in Fig. P3.20 at a weight fl ow of 250 N/h to lubricate a thrust bearing. The steady oil fl ow exits radially through the narrow clearance between thrust plates. Compute ( a ) the outlet volume fl ow in mL/s and ( b ) the average outlet velocity in cm/s.
From the textbook chapter Pressure Distribution in a Fluid you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
