A suction device is being designed based on the venturi


Same as the book problem but different values.

A suction device is being designed based on the venturi principle to lift objucts submerged in water. The operating water temperature is 50 C. The suction cup is located 1.3 m below the water surface, and the venturi throat is located 1 m above the the water. The atmospheric pressure is 100 kPa. The ratio of the throat area (i.e., the constricted area) to the exit area is 1/4, and the exit area is 0.001 m squared. The area of the suction cup is 0.25 m squared.

a. Find the velocity of the water at the exit for maximum lift condition.

b. Find the volume discharge through the system for maximum lift condition.

c. Find the maximum load the suction cup can support.

State explicitly the restriction that constrains the maximum lift (or minimum pressure in the system).
