A geothermal pump is used to pump brine whose density is 1050 kg/m3 at a rate of 0.3 m3/s from a depth of 200 m. For a pump effi

ciency of 90 percent, determine the required power input to the pump. Disregard frictional losses in the pipes, and assume the geothermal water at 200 m depth to be exposed to the atmosphere.

Answer:

Input power of the geothermal power will be 686000 J

Explanation:

We have given density of brine $\rho =1050kg/m^3$

Rate at which brine is pumped $V=0.3m^3/sec$

So mass of the pumped per second

Mass = volume × density = $1050\times 0.3=315$ kg/sec

Acceleration due to gravity $g=9.8m/sec^2$

Depth h = 200 m

So work done $W=mgh=315\times 9.8\times 200=617400J$

Efficiency is given $\eta =0.9$

We have to fond the input power

So input power $=\frac{617400}{0.9}=686000J$

So input power of the geothermal power will be 686000 J

Briefly explain how each of the following influences the tensile modulus of a semicrystalline polymer and why:(a) molecular weig

marin [14]

Answer:

(a) Increases

(b) Increases

(c) Increases

(d) Increases

(e) Decreases

Explanation:

The tensile modulus of a semi-crystalline polymer depends on the given factors as:

(a) Molecular Weight:

It increases with the increase in the molecular weight of the polymer.

(b) Degree of crystallinity:

Tensile strength of the semi-crystalline polymer increases with the increase in the degree of crystallinity of the polymer.

(c) Deformation by drawing:

The deformation by drawing in the polymer results in the finely oriented chain structure of the polymer with the greater inter chain secondary bonding structure resulting in the increase in the tensile strength of the polymer.

(d) Annealing of an undeformed material:

This also results in an increase in the tensile strength of the material.

(e) Annealing of a drawn material:

A semi crystalline material which is drawn when annealed results in the decreased tensile strength of the material.

A reservoir delivers water to a horizontal pipeline 39 long The first 15 m has a diameter of 50 mm, after which it suddenly beco

allsm [11]

Answer:

The difference of head in the level of reservoir is 0.23 m.

Explanation:

For pipe 1

$d_1=50 mm,f_1=0.0048$

For pipe 2

$d_2=75 mm,f_2=0.0058$

Q=2.8 l/s

$Q=2.8\times 10^{-3]$

We know that Q=AV

$Q=A_1V_1=A_2V_2$

$A_1=1.95\times 10^{-3}m^2$

$A_2=4.38\times 10^{-3} m^2$

$So V_2=0.63 m/s,V_1=1.43 m/s$

head loss (h)

$h=\dfrac{f_1L_1V_1^2}{2gd_1}+\dfrac{f_2L_2V_2^2}{2gd_2}+0.5\dfrac{V_1^2}{2g}$

Now putting the all values

$h=\dfrac{0.0048\times 15\times 1.43^2}{2\times 9.81\times 0.05}+\dfrac{0.0058\times 24\times 0.63^2}{2\times 9.81\times 0.075}+0.5\dfrac{1.43^2}{2\times 9.81}$

So h=0.23 m

So the difference of head in the level of reservoir is 0.23 m.

A particular motor rotates at 3000 revolutions per minute. What is its speed in rad/sec, and how many seconds does it takes to m

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

ω=314.15 rad/s.

0.02 s.

Explanation:

Given that

Motor speed ,N= 3000 revolutions per minute

N= 3000 RPM

The speed of the motor in rad/s given as

$\omega=\dfrac{2\pi N}{60}\ rad/s$

Now by putting the values in the above equation

$\omega=\dfrac{2\pi \times 3000}{60}\ rad/s$

ω=314.15 rad/s

Therefore the speed in rad/s will be 314.15 rad/s.

The speed in rev/sec given as

$\omega=\dfrac{ 3000}{60}\ rad/s$

ω= 50 rev/s

It take 1 sec to cover 50 revolutions

That is why to cover 1 revolution it take

$\dfrac{1}{50}=0.02\ s$
