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

Problem 3: Thermal expansionThe steel rod has the length 2 m and cross-section area 200 cm2at the room temperature 20◦C. Weapply
zalisa [80]

Answer:

a) 2.00024 m

b) 0.036%

c) 436.67°C

Explanation:

Given

Initial length = L₀ = 2 m

Initial cross sectional Area = A₀ = 200 cm² = 0.02 m²

We can obtain initial volume = V₀ = A₀L₀ = 0.02 × 2 = 0.04 m³

Initial Temperature = T₀ = 20°C

Coefficient of linear expansivity = α = (2 × 10⁻⁶) (°C)⁻¹

a) New length of the rod after heating to 80°C

Linear expansion is given as

ΔL = L₀ × α ×ΔT

ΔL = 2 × 2 × 10⁻⁶ × (80 - 20) = 0.00024 m = 0.24 mm

New length = old length + expansion = 2 + 0.00024 = 2.00024 m

b) The percentage of the volume change of the rod.

Volume expansion is given by

ΔV = V₀ × (3α) × ΔT

Volume expansivity ≈ 3 × (linear expansivity)

ΔV = 0.04 × (3×2×10⁻⁶) × (80 - 20) = 0.0000144 m³

Percentage change in volume = 100% × (ΔV/V₀) = 100% × (0.0000144/0.04) = 0.036%

c) The maximal temperature we can allow if the volume should not increase by more than half percent.

For a half percent increase in volume, the corresponding change in volume needs to be first calculated.

Percentage change in volume = 100% × (ΔV/V₀)

0.5 = 100% × (ΔV/0.04)

(ΔV/0.04) = 0.005

ΔV = 0.0002 m³

Then we now investigate the corresponding temperature that causes this.

ΔV = V₀ × (3α) × ΔT

0.0002 = 0.04 × (3×2×10⁻⁶) × ΔT

ΔT = (0.0002)/(0.04 × 3 × 2 × 10⁻⁶) = 416.67°C

Maximal temperature = T₀ + ΔT = 20 + 416.67 = 436.67°C

raketka [301]

Answer:

We know the information about atomic size, energy, electronic configuration etc. of atom from the periodic table.    

Explanation:

  • Periodic table is the arrangement of elements that are arranged according to their properties and electronic configuration.
  • In periodic table, on furthest right side of the periodic table, noble gases like He, Ne, Ar etc are arranged.
  • The atomic number of element increases while moving from left towards right in the periodic table.
  • The metallic character of element decreases as we proceed the table towards right.
  • They readily accept electron to fill the valence shell hence becoming more metallic in character.
