A believe that’s called a reference point.
Answer:
v₂ = 7/ (0.5)= 14 m/s
Explanation:
Flow rate of the fluid
Flow rate is the amount of fluid that circulates through a section of the pipeline (pipe, pipeline, river, canal, ...) per unit of time.
The formula for calculated the flow rate is:
Q= v*A Formula (1)
Where :
Q is the Flow rate (m³/s)
A is the cross sectional area of a section of the pipe (m²)
v is the speed of the fluid in that section (m/s)
Equation of continuity
The volume flow rate Q for an incompressible fluid at any point along a pipe is the same as the volume flow rate at any other point along a pipe:
Q₁= Q₂
Data
A₁ = 2m² : cross sectional area 1
v₁ = 3.5 m/s : fluid speed through A₁
A₂ = 0.5 m² : cross sectional area 2
Calculation of the fluid speed through A₂
We aply the equation of continuity:
Q₁= Q₂
We aply the equation of Formula (1):
v₁*A₁= v₂*A₂
We replace data
(3.5)*(2)= v₂*(0.5)
7 = v₂*(0.5)
v₂ = 7/ (0.5)
v₂ = 14 m/s
Answer:
57 %
Explanation:
input power = 16.4 kW = 16.4 x 10^3 W = 16400 W
Water pumped per second = 67 L/s
Mass of water pumped per second, m = Volume of water pumped epr second x density of water
m = 67 x 10^-3 x 1000 = 67 kg/s
height raised, h = 14 m
Output Power = m x g x h / t = 67 x 10 x 14 = 9380 W
efficiency = output power / input power = 9380 / 16400 = 0.57
% efficiency = 57 %
thus, the efficiency of the pump is 57 %.
Vf = Vo + at
Vf = 20 m/s
Vo = 50 m/s
a = ?
t = 15
Therefore
20 = 50 + 15a
20 - 50 = 15a
-30 = 15a
a = -30 / 15
a = -2 m/s²
