Water, in a 150 in^3 rigid tank, initially has a temperature of 70°F and an enthalpy of 723.5 Btu/lbm. Heat is added until the w

ater becomes a saturated vapor. Calculate: a) The initial quality of the water b) The total mass of the water c) The temperature of the water at the final state.

Answer:

a)initial quality of water 0.724.

b)mass of water =2.45 kg

c)T=70°F

Explanation:

h=732.5 Btu/lbm

h=763.33 KJ/kg (1 Btu=1.05 kj)

T=70°F⇒T=21.1°C

$V=150 in^3=0.002458m^3$

(a)From steam table

Properties of saturated steam at 21.1°C

$h_f= 88.56\frac{KJ}{Kg} ,h_g= 2539.49\frac{KJ}{Kg}$

To find dryness fraction

$h=h_f+x(h_g-h_f)\frac{KJ}{Kg}$

$763.33=88.56+x(2539.49-88.56)\frac{KJ}{Kg}$

x=0.27

So initial quality of water 0.724.

(b)

$v=v_f+x(v_g-v_f)\frac{m^3}{Kg}$

where v is specific volume

From steam table at 21.1°C

$v_f= 0.001\frac{m^3}{Kg} ,v_g= 54.13\frac{m^3}{Kg}$

V= $m_f\times v_f$

0.002458= $m_f\times 0.001$

So mass of water =2.45 kg

(c)

Actually water will take latent heat ,it means that heating of will take place at constant temperature and constant pressure.So we can say that final temperature of water will remain same (T=70°F).

Answer:

Engineering is a broad category that includes a variety of occupations and attempts to solve problems using math and systematic and scientific processes.

Explanation:

Engineering is the scientific discipline that deals with the implementation of science on materials, constructions, machines, systems and processes to realize a specific goal. It is an area of technical activity that includes a number of specialized areas and disciplines aimed at the practical application of scientific, economic, social and practical knowledge in order to turn natural resources for the benefit of humans.

The goals of engineering activities are the invention, development, creation, implementation, repair, maintenance and / or improvement of equipment, materials or processes. Engineering is closely intertwined with science, relying on the postulates of fundamental science and the results of applied research. In this sense, it is a branch of scientific and technical activity.

An 80-percent-efficient pump with a power input of 20 hp is pumping water from a lake to a nearby pool at a rate of 1.5 ft3/s th

photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

mechanical power used to overcome frictional effects in piping is 2.37 hp

Explanation:

given data

efficient pump = 80%

power input = 20 hp

rate = 1.5 ft³/s

free surface = 80 ft

solution

we use mechanical pumping power delivered to water is

${W_{u}}= \eta {W_{pump}}$ .............1

put here value

${W_{u}}$ = (0.80)(20)

${W_{u}}$ = 16 hp

and

now we get change in the total mechanical energy of water is equal to the change in its potential energy

$\Delta{E_{mech}} = {m} \Delta pe$ ..............2

$\Delta {E_{mech}} = {m} g \Delta z$

and that can be express as

$\Delta {E_{mech}} = \rho Q g \Delta z$ ..................3

so

$\Delta {E_{mech}} = (62.4lbm/ft^3)(1.5ft^3/s)(32.2ft/s^2)(80ft)[\frac{1lbf}{32.2lbm\cdot ft/s^2}][\frac{1hp}{550lbf \cdot ft/s}]$ ......4

solve it we get

$\Delta {E_{mech}} = 13.614$ hp

so here

due to frictional effects, mechanical power lost in piping

we get here

${W_{frict}} = {W_{u}}-\Delta {E_{mech}}$

put here value

${W_{frict}}$ = 16 -13.614

${W_{frict}}$ = 2.37 hp

so mechanical power used to overcome frictional effects in piping is 2.37 hp

To provide some perspective on the dimensions of atomic defects, consider a metal specimen that has a dislocation density of 105

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

$62.14\ \text{miles}$

$6213727.37\ \text{miles}$

Explanation:

The distance of the chain would be the product of the dislocation density and the volume of the metal.

Dislocation density = $10^5\ \text{mm}^{-2}$

Volume of the metal = $1000\ \text{mm}^3$

$10^5\times 1000=10^8\ \text{mm}\\ =10^5\ \text{m}$

$1\ \text{mile}=1609.34\ \text{m}$

$\dfrac{10^5}{1609.34}=62.14\ \text{miles}$

The chain would extend $62.14\ \text{miles}$

Dislocation density = $10^{10}\ \text{mm}^{-2}$

Volume of the metal = $1000\ \text{mm}^3$

$10^{10}\times 1000=10^{13}\ \text{mm}\\ =10^{10}\ \text{m}$

$\dfrac{10^{10}}{1609.34}=6213727.37\ \text{miles}$

The chain would extend $6213727.37\ \text{miles}$
