Efficiency of draft tube Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Efficiency of draft tube?

FIRST Step Consider the formula

η d = \frac{((\frac{{V 1}^{2}}{2 \cdot [g]}) - (\frac{{V 2}^{2}}{2 \cdot [g]})) - (h f)}{\frac{{V 1}^{2}}{2 \cdot [g]}}

Next Step Substitute values of Variables

∴

η d = \frac{((\frac{{6m/s}^{2}}{2 \cdot [g]}) - (\frac{{1.2m/s}^{2}}{2 \cdot [g]})) - (0.1m)}{\frac{{6m/s}^{2}}{2 \cdot [g]}}

Next Step Substitute values of Constants

∴

η d = \frac{((\frac{{6m/s}^{2}}{2 \cdot 9.8066m/s²}) - (\frac{{1.2m/s}^{2}}{2 \cdot 9.8066m/s²})) - (0.1m)}{\frac{{6m/s}^{2}}{2 \cdot 9.8066m/s²}}

Next Step Prepare to Evaluate

∴

η d = \frac{((\frac{6^{2}}{2 \cdot 9.8066}) - (\frac{{1.2}^{2}}{2 \cdot 9.8066})) - (0.1)}{\frac{6^{2}}{2 \cdot 9.8066}}

Next Step Evaluate

∴

η d = 0.905518611111111

LAST Step Rounding Answer

∴

η d = 0.9055
