A small water pump is used in an irrigation system. The pump takes water in from a river at 10oC, 100 kPa at a rate of 5 kg/s. T

he exit line enters a pipe that goes up to an elevation 20 m above the pump and river, where the water runs into an open channel. Assume the process is adiabatic and that the water stays at 10oC. Find the minimum pump power required.

Answer:

0.98kW

Explanation:

The conservation of energy is given by the following equation,

\Delta U = Q-W

\dot{m}(h_1+\frac{1}{2}V_1^2+gz_1)-\dot{W} = \dot{m}(h_2+\frac{1}{2}V_2^2+gz_)

Where

\dot{m} = Mass flow

h_1 =Specific Enthalpy (IN)

h_2 = Specific Enthalpy (OUT)

g = Gravity

z_{1,2} = Heigth state (In, OUT)

V_{1,2} =Velocity (In, Out)

Our values are given by,

T_i = 10\°C

P_1 = 100kPa

\dot{m} = 5kg/s

z_2 = 20m

For this problem we know that as pressure, temperature as velocity remains constant, then

h_1 = h_2

V_1 = V_2

Then we have that our equation now is,

\dot{m}(gz_1) = \dot{m}(gz_2)+\dot{W}

\dot{W} = \frac{(5)(9.81)(0-20)}{1000}

\dot{W} = -0.98kW

alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

a) v=0.999124c

b) E=7.566*10^{22}

c) E_a=760 times\ larger

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Distance to Betelgeuse d_b=430ly

Mass of Rocket M_r=20000

Total Time in years traveled T_d=36years

Total energy used by the United States in the year 2000 E_{2000}=1.0*10^20

Generally the equation of speed of rocket v mathematically given by

v=\frac{2d}{\triangle t}

v=860ly/ \triangle t

where

\triangle t=\frac{\triangle t'}{(\sqrt{1-860/ \triangle t)^2}}

\triangle t=\frac{36}{(\sqrt{1-860/ \triangle t)^2}}

\triangle t=\sqrt{(860)^2+(36)^2}

\triangle t=860.7532

Therefore

v=\frac{860ly}{ 860.7532}

v=0.999124c

b)

Generally the equation of the energy E required to attain prior speed mathematically given by

E=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-(v/c)^2} }-1(20000kg)(3*10^8m/s)^2

E=7.566*10^{22}

c)Generally the equation of the energy E_a required to accelerate the rocket mathematically given by

E_a=\frac{E}{E_{2000}}

E_a=\frac{7.566*10^{22}}{1.0*10^{20}}

E_a=760 times\ larger

One thousand grams of seawater would consist of how many grams of dissolved substances? 65 635 35 965
Naya [18.7K]
<span>One thousand grams of seawater has 35 grams of dissolved substances ... on the average. While the salinity of the Earth's oceans and seas varies, the average salinity of seawater rests at 3.5%. Consider one liter or sea or ocean water. One liter has 1,000 milliliters (mL) in it. To find 3.5% of 1,000, we would multiply with the decimal place adjusted for percentages: 1000 x .035 = 35. Therefore, for every 1,000 mL of seawater, we will find 35 grams of (mostly) sodium chloride, otherwise known as salt.</span>
