Answer:
Explanation:
given data:
pressure 1 MPa
diameter of pipe = 30 cm
average velocity = 10 m/s
area of pipe
A = 0.070 m2
WE KNOW THAT mass flow rate is given as
for pressure 1 MPa, the density of steam is = 4.068 kg/m3
therefore we have
Answer:
1) In series, the combined head will move from point 1 to point 2 in theory. However, practically speaking, the combined head and flow rate will move along the system curve to point 3.
2) In parallel, the combined head and volume flow will move along the system curve from point 1 to point 3.
Explanation:
1) Pump in series:
When two or more pumps are connected in series, their resulting pump performance curve will be obtained by adding their respective heads at the same flow rate as shown in the first diagram attached.
In the first diagram, we have 3 curves namely:
- system curve
- single pump curve
- 2 pump in series curve
Also, we have points labeled 1, 2 and 3.
- Point 1 represents the point that the system operates with one pump running.
- Point 2 represents the point where the head of two identical pumps connected in series is twice the head of a single pump flowing at the same rate.
- Point 3 is the point where the system is operating when both pumps are running.
Now, since the flowrate is constant, the combined head will move from point 1 to point 2 in theory. However, practically speaking, the combined head and flow rate will move along the system curve to point 3.
2) Pump in parallel:
When two or more pumps are connected in parallel, their resulting pump performance curve will be obtained by adding their respective flow rates at same head as shown in the second diagram attached.
In the second diagram, we have 3 curves namely:
- system curve
- single pump curve
- 2 pump in series curve
Also, we have points labeled 1, 2 and 3
- Point 1 represents the point that the system operates with one pump running.
- Point 2 represents the point where the flow rate of two identical pumps connected in series is twice the flow rate of a single pump.
- Point 3 is the point where the system is operating when both pumps are running.
In this case, the combined head and volume flow will move along the system curve from point 1 to point 3.
Answer: c) 450 kPa
Explanation:
Boyle's Law: This law states that pressure is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature and number of moles.
(At constant temperature and number of moles)
where,
= initial pressure of gas = 150 kPa
= final pressure of gas = ?
= initial volume of gas = v L
= final volume of gas =
Therefore, the new pressure of the gas will be 450 kPa.
