Water is pumped from a lower reservoir to a higher reservoir by a pump that provides 20 kW of useful mechanical power to the wat

er. The free surface of the upper reservoir is 45 m higher than the surface of the lower reservoir. If the flow rate of water is measured to be 0.03 m3/s, determine the irreversible head loss of the system and the lost mechanical power during this process. Take the density of water to be 1000 kg/m3.

According to the information presented, it is necessary to take into account the concepts related to mass flow, specific potential energy and the power that will determine the total work done in the system.

By definition we know that the change in mass flow is given by

\dot{m} = \rho AV

\dot {m} = \rho Q

Remember that the Discharge is defined as Q = AV, where A is the Area and V is the speed.

Substituting with the values we have we know that the mass flow is defined by

\dot{m} = 1000*0.03

\dot{m} = 30kg/s

To calculate the power we need to obtain the specific potential energy, which is given by

\Delta pe = gh

\Delta pe = 9.8*45

\Delta pe = 441m^2/s^2

So the power needed to deliver the water into the storage tank would be

\dot {E} = \dot{m}\Delta pe

\dot {E} = 30*441

\dot{E} = 13230W = 13.23kW

Finally the mechanical power that is converted to thermal energy due to friction effects is:

\dot{W}_f = \dot{W}_s - \dot{E}

\dot{W}_f 20-13.23

\dot{W} = 6.77kW

Therefore the mechanical power due to friction effect is 6.77kW

A thermally insulated vessel containing a gas whose molar mass is equal to M and the ratio of specific heats cP /cV = γ moves wi
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

∆T = Mv^2Y/2Cp

Explanation:

Formula for Kinetic energy of the vessel = 1/2mv^2

Increase in internal energy Δu = nCVΔT

where n is the number of moles of the gas in vessel.

When the vessel is to stop suddenly, its kinetic energy will be used to increase the temperature of the gas

We say

1/2mv^2 = ∆u

1/2mv^2 = nCv∆T

Since n = m/M

1/2mv^2 = mCv∆T/M

Making ∆T subject of the formula we have

∆T = Mv^2/2Cv

Multiple the RHS by Cp/Cp

∆T = Mv^2/2Cv *Cp/Cp

Since Y = Cp/CV

∆T = Mv^2Y/2Cp k

Since CV = R/Y - 1

We could also have

∆T = Mv^2(Y - 1)/2R k
