A pump operating at steady state receives liquid water at 20°C 100 kPa with a mass flow rate of 53 kg/min. The pressure of the w

ater at the pump exit is 5 MPa. The isentropic pump efficiency is 70%. Stray heat transfer and changes in kinetic and potential energy are negligible. What is the power required by the pump?

Answer:

The power required by pump is 6.18 KW.

Explanation:

The ideal output power of the pump is given by:

Pout = ΔP (Volume Flow Rate)

ΔP = Pf - Pi = 5 MPa - 100 KPa = 5 x 10^6 Pa - 0.1 x 10^6 Pa

ΔP = 4.9 x 10^6 Pa

Volume Flow Rate = (Mass Flow Rate)/(Density of Water)

Volume Flow Rate = (53 kg/min)(1 min / 60s)/(1000 kg/m^3)

Volume Flow Rate = 8.83 x 10^(-4) m^3/s

Therefore,

Pout = [4.9 x 10^6 N/m²][8.83 x 10^(-4) m^3/s]

Pout = 4328.33 Watt = 4.33 KW

Now, the required Power (Pin) is related with isentropic efficiency as:

Isentropic Efficiency = Pout/Pin

Pin = [Pout]/[Isentropic Efficiecy]

Pin = (4328.33 Watt)/(0.7)

<u>Pin = 6183.32 Watt = 6.18 KW</u>

Calculate the "exact" alkalinity of the water in Problem 3-2 if the pH is 9.43.
marin [14]

Answer:

A) approximate alkalinity = 123.361 mg/l

B) exact alkalinity = 124.708 mg/l

Explanation:

Given data :

A) determine approximate alkalinity first

Bicarbonate ion = 120 mg/l

carbonate ion = 15 mg/l

Approximate alkalinity = ( carbonate ion ) * 50/30  + ( bicarbonate ion ) * 50/61

                                   = 15 * (50/30) + 120*( 50/61 )  = 123.361 mg/l  as CaCO3

B) calculate the exact alkalinity of the water if the pH = 9.43

pH + pOH = 14

9.43 + pOH = 14. therefore pOH = 14 - 9.43 = 4.57

[OH^- ] = 10^-4.57  = 2.692*10^-5  moles/l

[ OH^- ]   = 2.692*10^-5  * 179/mole * 10^3 mg/g  = 0.458 mg/l

[ H^+ ] = 10^-9.43 * 1 * 10^3  = 3.7154 * 10^-7 mg/l

therefore the exact alkalinity can be calculated as

= ( approximate alkalinity ) + ( [ OH^- ] * 50/17 ) - ( [ H^+ ] * 50/1 )

= 123.361 + ( 0.458 * 50/17 ) - ( 3.7154 * 10^-7 * 50/1 )

= 124.708 mg/l

eimsori [14]

Answer:

They are both correct

Explanation:

When someone is asking a question of you, it means he or she has either been paying attention, and is interested in you, what you're doing, or what you're saying. Also, silence when used properly can be golden in the sense that it can prevent unnecessary problems from arising, and can save one from a lot of unforeseen problem. Whatever is said cannot be taken back again, and some things should never be said at all, especially in a professional setting.
