Answer:

h_f = 15 ft, so option A is correct

Explanation:

The formula for head loss is given by;

h_f = [10.44•L•Q^(1.85)]/(C^(1.85))•D^(4.8655))

Where;

h_f is head loss due to friction in ft

L is length of pipe in ft

Q is flow rate of water in gpm

C is hazen Williams constant

D is diameter of pipe in inches

We are given;

L = 1,800 ft

Q = 600 gpm

C = 120

D = 8 inches

So, plugging in these values into the equation, we have;

h_f = [10.44*1800*600^(1.85)]/(120^(1.85))*8^(4.8655))

h_f = 14.896 ft.

So, h_f is approximately 15 ft

Nataly [62]

Answer: P = 0.416 kW

Explanation:

taken a step by step process to solving this problem.

we have that from the question;

the amount of heat rejected Qn = 4800 kJ/h

the cooling effect is Ql = 3300 kJ/h

Applying the first law of thermodynamics for this system gives us

Шnet = Qn -Ql

Шnet = 4800 - 3300 = 1500 kJ/h

Next we would calculate the coefficient of performance of the refrigerator;

COPr = Desired Effect / work output = Ql / Шnet  = 3300/1500 = 2.2

COPr = 2.2

The Power as required gives;

P = Qn - Ql  = 4800 - 3300 = 1500 kJ/h = 0.416

P = 0.416 kW
