Answer:
The maximum theoretical height that the pump can be placed above liquid level is
Explanation:
To pump the water, we need to avoid cavitation. Cavitation is a phenomenon in which liquid experiences a phase transition into the vapour phase because pressure drops below the liquid's vapour pressure at that temperature. As a liquid is pumped upwards, it's pressure drops. to see why, let's look at Bernoulli's equation:
( stands here for density, for height)
Now, we are assuming that there aren't friction losses here. If we assume further that the fluid is pumped out at a very small rate, the velocity term would be negligible, and we get:
This means that pressure drop is proportional to the suction lift's height.
We want the pressure drop to be small enough for the fluid's pressure to be always above vapour pressure, in the extreme the fluid's pressure will be almost equal to vapour pressure.
That means:
We insert that into our last equation and get:
And that is the absolute highest height that the pump could bear. This, assuming that there isn't friction on the suction pipe's walls, in reality the height might be much less, depending on the system's pipes and pump.
Answer:
Cc= 12.7 lb.sec/ft
Explanation:
Given that

g= 32 ft/s²
x= 4.5 in
1 in = 0.083 ft
x= 0.375 ft
Spring constant ,K
K= 58.66 lb/ft
The damper coefficient for critically damped system
Cc= 12.7 lb.sec/ft

Answer:
The process which has friction
Explanation:
The entropy is simply the change in the state of the things or the molecules in the system. It is simply the change in the energy of the system with a focus on the atoms in the system. This is also known as the internal energy of the system and is given the symbol, G. The friction contributes to the change in the energy of the system. This is because friction generates another form of energy - that is heat energy. This energy causes the internal temperature id the system to increase. Hence the greater change in the temperature.
Question
Determine the average water exit velocity
Answer:
53.05 m/s
Explanation:
Given information
Volume flow rate,
Diameter d= 8cm= 0.08 m
Assumptions
- The flow is jet flow hence momentum-flux correction factor is unity
- Gravitational force is not considered
- The flow is steady, frictionless and incompressible
- Water is discharged to the atmosphere hence pressure is ignored
We know that Q=AV and making v the subject then
where V is the exit velocity and A is area
Area, where d is the diameter
By substitution
To convert v to m/s from m/s, we simply divide it by 60 hence
