Water at 15°C is to be discharged from a reservoir at a rate of 18 L/s using two horizontal cast iron pipes connected in series

and a pump between them. The first pipe is 20 m long and has a 6-cm diameter, while the second pipe is 35 m long and has a 3-cm diameter. The water level in the reservoir is 30 m above the centerline of the pipe. The pipe entrance is sharp-edged, and losses associated with the connection of the pump are negligible. Neglecting the effect of the kinetic energy correction factor, determine the required pumping head and the minimum pumping power to maintain the indicated flow rate.

Answer:

0.245 m^3/s

Explanation:

Flow rate through pipe a is 0.4 m3/s Parallel pipes have a diameter D = 30 cm => r = 15 cm = 0.15 m Length of Pipe a = 1000m Length of Pipe b = 2650m Temperature = 15 degrees Va = V / A = (0.4m3/s) / (3.14 (0.15m)^2) = 5.66 m/s h = (f(LV^2)) / D2g (fa(LaVa^2)) / Da2g = (fb(LbVb^2)) / Da2g and Da = Db; fa = fb LaVa^2 = LbVb^2 => La/Lb = Vb^2/Va^2 Vd^2 = Va^2(La/Lb) => Vb = Va(La/Lb)^(1/2) Vb = 5.66 (1000/2650)^(1/2) => 5.66 x 0.6143 = 3.4769 m/s Vb = 3.4769 m/s V = AVb = 3.14(0.15)^2 x 3.4769 m/s = 0.245 m^3/s

Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

Explanation:

There are a total of 6 states and 3 bits in this problem. Whenever the Reset button is pressed, RESET state is called otherwise the state according to the diagram is called. For the combination to be "01011", the input sequence has to be in the same order. If 0 is pressed instead of 1 in state "010", the last state of output ending with 0 will be called and likewise in all the states that follow.

A homeowner consumes 260 kWh of energy in July when the family is on vacation most of the time. Determine the average cost per k
Llana [10]

Answer:

16.2 cents

Explanation:

Given that a homeowner consumes 260 kWh of energy in July when the family is on vacation most of the time.

Where Base monthly charge of $10.00. First 100 kWh per month at 16 cents/kWh. Next 200 kWh per month at 10 cents/kWh. Over 300 kWh per month at 6 cents/kWh.

For the first 100 kWh:

16 cent × 100 = 1600 cents = 16 dollars

Since 1 dollar = 100 cents

For the remaining energy:

260 - 100 = 160 kwh

10 cents × 160 = 1600 cents = 16 dollars

The total cost = 10 + 16 + 16 = 42 dollars

Note that the base monthly of 10 dollars is added.

The cost of 260 kWh of energy consumption in July is 42 dollars

To determine the average cost per kWh for the month of July, divide the total cost by the total energy consumed.

That is, 42 / 260 = 0.1615 dollars

Convert it to cents by multiplying the result by 100.

0.1615 × 100 = 16.15 cents

Approximately 16.2 cents

Which sentence is correct about the exergy of an empty (pressure around zero Pascal) tank with a volume of V, located in an envi
sineoko [7]

Answer:

The correct option is;

c.  the exergy of the tank can be anything between zero to P₀·V

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The volume of the tank = V

The pressure in the tank = 0 Pascal

The pressure of the surrounding = P₀

The temperature of the surrounding = T₀

Exergy is a measure of the amount of a given energy which a system posses that is extractable to provide useful work. It is possible work that brings about equilibrium. It is the potential the system has to bring about change

The exergy balance equation  is given as follows;

X_2 - X_1 = \int\limits^2_1 {} \, \delta Q \left (1 - \dfrac{T_0}{T} \right ) - [W - P_0 \cdot (V_2 - V_1)]- X_{destroyed}

Where;

X₂ - X₁ is the difference between the two exergies

Therefore, the exergy of the system with regards to the environment is the work received from the environment which at is equal to done on the system by the surrounding which by equilibrium for an empty tank with 0 pressure is equal to the product of the pressure of the surrounding and the volume of the empty tank or P₀ × V less the work, exergy destroyed, while taking into consideration the change in heat of the system

Therefore, the exergy of the tank can be anything between zero to P₀·V.

A boiler is used to heat steam at a brewery to be used in various applications such as heating water to brew the beer and saniti
Natalija [7]

Answer:

net boiler heat = 301.94 kW

Explanation:

given data

saturated steam = 6.0 bars

temperature = 18°C

flow rate = 115 m³/h = 0.03194 m³/s

heat use by boiler = 90 %

to find out

rate of heat does the boiler output

solution

we can say saturated steam is produce at 6 bar from liquid water 18°C

we know at 6 bar from steam table

hg = 2756 kJ/kg

and

enthalpy of water at 18°C

hf = 75.64 kJ/kg

so heat required for 1 kg is

=hg - hf

= 2680.36 kJ/kg

and

from steam table specific volume of saturated steam at 6 bar is 0.315 m³/kg

so here mass flow rate is

mass flow rate = \frac{0.03194}{0.315}

mass flow rate m = 0.10139 kg/s

so heat required is

H = h × m  

here h is heat required and m is mass flow rate

H = 2680.36  × 0.10139

H =  271.75 kJ/s = 271.75 kW

now 90 % of boiler heat is used for generate saturated stream

so net boiler heat = \frac{H}{0.90}

net boiler heat = \frac{271.75}{0.90}

net boiler heat = 301.94 kW
