Explanation:

Step1

Absolute pressure is the pressure above zero level of the pressure. Absolute pressure is considering atmospheric pressure in it. Absolute pressure is always positive. There is no negative absolute pressure.

The expression for absolute pressure is given as follows:

$P_{ab}=P_{g}+P_{atm}$

Here, $P_{ab}$ is absolute pressure, $P_{g}$ is gauge pressure and $P_{atm}$ is atmospheric pressure.

Step2

Gauge pressure is the pressure that measure above atmospheric pressure. It is not considering atmospheric pressure. It can be negative called vacuum or negative gauge pressure. Gauge pressure used to simplify the pressure equation for fluid analysis.

Helium gas expands in a piston-cylinder in a polytropic process with n=1.67. Is the work positive, negative or zero?

IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

work will be positive when it is under polytropic expansion process

Explanation:

It states a polytropic process with n equal to 1.67. there is a polytropic expansion that mean work is positive and if it was polytropic compression then it would be negative

$PV^n = const$

$P_1V_1 = P_2V_2$

Also work during the process of polytropic is given as

$W_{1-2} =\frac{P_1V_1 -P_2V_2}{n-1}$

the work will be positive when it is under the polytropic expansion process

If the rotational speed of a pump motor is reduced by 35%, what is the effect on the pump performance in terms of capacity, head

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

- the capacity of the pump reduces by 35%.

- the head gets reduced by 57%.

the power consumption by the pump is reduced by 72%

Explanation:

the pump capacity is related to the speed as speed is reduces by 35%

so new speed is (100 - 35) = 65% of orginal speed

speed Q ∝ N ⇒ Q1/Q2 = N1/N2

Q2 = (N2/N1)Q1

Q2 = (65/100)Q1

which means that the capacity of the pump is also reduces by 35%.

the head in a pump is related by

H ∝ N² ⇒ H1/H2 = N1²/N2²

H2 = (N2N1)²H1

H2 = (65/100)²H1 = 0.4225H1

so the head gets reduced by 1 - 0.4225 = 0.5775 which is 57%.

Now The power requirement of a pump is related as

P ∝ N³ ⇒ P1/P2 = N1³/N2³

P2 = (N2/N1)³P1

H2 = (65/100)²P1 = 0.274P1

So the reduction in power is 1 - 0.274 = 0.725 which is 72%

Therefore for a reduction of 35% of speed there is a reduction of 72% of the power consumption by the pump.
