Answer:
Mechanical Efficiency = 83.51%
Explanation:
Given Data:
Pressure difference = ΔP=1.2 Psi
Flow rate =
Power of Pump = 3 hp
Required:
Mechanical Efficiency
Solution:
We will first bring the change the units of given data into SI units.
Now we will find the change in energy.
Since it is mentioned in the statement that change in elevation (potential energy) and change in velocity (Kinetic Energy) are negligible.
Thus change in energy is
As we know that Mass = Volume x density
substituting the value
Energy = Volume * density x ΔP / density
Change in energy = Volumetric flow x ΔP
Change in energy = 0.226 x 8.274 = 1.869 KW
Now mechanical efficiency = change in energy / work done by shaft
Efficiency = 1.869 / 2.238
Efficiency = 0.8351 = 83.51%
Answer:
a) 246.56 Hz
b) 203.313 Hz
c) Add more springs
Explanation:
Spring constant = 12000 N/m
mass = 5g = 5 * 10^-3 kg
damping ratio = 0.4
<u>a) Calculate Natural frequency </u>
Wn = √k/m =
= 1549.19 rad/s ≈ 246.56 Hz
<u>b) Bandwidth of instrument </u>
W / Wn =
W / Wn = 0.8246
therefore Bandwidth ( W ) = Wn * 0.8246 = 246.56 * 0.8246 = 203.313 Hz
C ) To increase the bandwidth we have to add more springs
