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

That first one you have selected (3,-3) works in both equations so it's correct.
good job.

you can do this guess and test method with multiple choice answers. If it works in both equations it is the solution. Otherwise use substitution or elimination to combine the two into one equation in only one variable. Then you can solve for the one variable first and use it to solve for the other.

Two drums of the same size and same height are taken.
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

i) The pressure acting on the base of <em>B</em> will be half the pressure acting on the base of <em>A</em>

ii) The pressure acting on the base of <em>B</em> will be the same as the pressure acting on the base of <em>A</em>

iii) The pressure on the base of drum <em>A</em> will be slightly less than the pressure on the base of drum <em>B</em>

Explanation:

The pressure acting on the base of the drum, P = h·ρ·g

Where;

h = The level of the liquid in the drum

h_{max} = The height of the drums

ρ = The density of the liquid in the drum

g = The acceleration due to gravity ≈ 9.81 m/s²

i) If <em>A</em> is completely filled, we have h_A = h_{max}

Therefore, P_A = h_{max}×\rho_{liquid}×g

If <em>B</em> is half filled, we have, h_B =  (1/2)·h_{max}

P_B = (1/2) × h_{max}×\rho_{liquid}×g

Therefore, P_B = (1/2) × P_A

The pressure acting on the base of <em>B</em> will be half the pressure acting on the base of <em>A</em>

ii) If both <em>A</em> and <em>B</em> are each filled with water (the same liquid), then the pressure on their bases will be P_A = h_{max}×\rho_{water}×g = P_B, the same, given that the acceleration due to gravity, <em>g</em>, is constant and the same in Nepal and India

iii) If <em>A</em> is filled with water, and <em>B</em> is filled with salty water, we have that, the density of salty water is slightly higher than water, therefore, we get;

P_A = h_{max}×\rho_{water}×g <  P_B =

The pressure on the base of drum <em>A</em> will be less than the pressure on the base of drum <em>B.</em>

Georgia [21]

components of the speed of the coin is given as

v_x = v cos60

v_x = 6.4 cos60 = 3.2 m/s

v_y = vsin60

v_y = 6.4 sin60 = 5.54 m/s

now the time taken by the coin to reach the plate is given by

t = \frac{\delta x}{v_x}

t = \frac{2.1}{3.2}

t = 0.656 s

now in order to find the height

h = vy * t + \frac{1}{2} at^2

h = 5.54 * 0.656 - \frac{1}{2}*9.8*(0.656)^2

h = 1.52 m

so it is placed at 1.52 m height
