A pump is to lift 18 kg of water per minute tthrough a height of 3.6 m. what output rating (watts) should the pump have?

1 answer:

7 0

Given: Mass m = 18 Kg; Height h = 3.6 m; Time t = 60 s

Required: Power output in unit of Watts

Formula: P = mgh/t

P = (18 Kg)(9.8 m/s²)(3.6 m)/60 s

P = 10.58 J/s or Watts

The vacuum pressure of a condenser is given to be 80 kpa. if the atmospheric pressure is 98 kpa, what is the gage pressure and a

dimaraw [331]

The absolute pressure is given by the equation,

$P_{abs}=P_{atm}-P_{vac}$

Here, $P_{abs}$ is absolute pressure, $P_{atm}$ is atmospheric pressure and $P_{vac}$ is vacuum pressure.

Therefore,

$P_{abs}=98 kPa-80 kPa=18kPa$

The gage pressure is given by the equation,

$P_{gage}=P_{abs}-P_{atm}$ .

Thus,

$P_{gage}=18kPa-98 kPa=-80 kPa$ .

In kn/m^2,

The absolute pressure,

$P_{abs}=18kPa(\frac{1kN/m^2}{kPa}) =18\ kN/m^2$

The gage pressure,

$P_{gage}=-80kPa(\frac{1kN/m^2}{kPa}) =-80\ kN/m^2$ .

In lbf/in2

The absolute pressure,

$P_{abs}=18\ kPa(\frac{1.45\times 10^{-1}\ lbf/in^2 }{1kPa} )=2.6\ lbf/in^2$

The gage pressure,

$P_{gage}=-80kPa(\frac{1.45\times 10^{-1}\ lbf/in^2 }{1kPa} )=-11.6\ lbf/in^2$

In psi,

The absolute pressure,

$P_{abs}=18\ kPa(\frac{1.45037738\times 10^{-1}\ psi }{1kPa})=2.610\ psi$ .

The gage pressure,

$P_{gage}=-80kPa(\frac{1.45037738\times 10^{-1}\ psi }{1kPa} )=-11.6030\ psi$

In mm Hg

The absolute pressure,

$P_{abs}=18kPa(\frac{7.5\ mm\ of\ Hg }{1\ kPa})= 135\ mm\ of\ Hg$

The gage pressure,

$P_{gage}=-80kPa(\frac{7.5\ mm\ of\ Hg }{1\ kPa})=-600\ mm\ of\ Hg$
