Question

A suction device is being designed based on the venturi principle to lift objects submerged in water. The operating water temperature is 15o C. The suction cup is located 1 m below the water surface, and the venturi throat is located 1 m above the water. The atmosphere pressure is 100 kPa. The ratio of the exit area to the throat area is 4.0, and the exit area is 0.001 m2 . The area of the suction cup is 0.1 m2 . a. Find the velocity of the water at the exit for the maximum lift condition. b. Find the discharge through the system for maximum lift condition. c. Find the maximum load the suction can support

Answer 1

a) the velocity of the water at the exit for the maximum lift condition is 3.62m/s

b) the discharge through the system for maximum lift condition is 0.00326m³/s

c) the maximum load the suction can support is 8.85KN
