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

What happens when air from the balloon has exited the balloon? <br><br><br> How will motion change?​
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

When you release the opening of the balloon, gas quickly escapes to equalize the pressure inside with the air pressure outside of the balloon. The escaping air exerts a force on the balloon itself. ... That opposing force—called thrust, in this case—propels the rocket forward.

a runner covers the last straight stretch of the race in 4 s. durning that time, he speeds up from 5 m/s to 9m/s what is the run
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

The runner's acceleration was 1\ m/s^2

Explanation:

<u>Constant Acceleration Motion</u>

It's a type of motion in which the velocity of an object changes by an equal amount in every equal period of time.

Being a the constant acceleration, vo the initial speed, vf the final speed, and t the time, the following relation applies:

v_f=v_o+at

Solving for a:

\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}

The runner speeds up from vo=5 m/s to vf=9 m/s in t=4 seconds, thus:

\displaystyle a=\frac{9-5}{4}

\displaystyle a=\frac{4}{4}=1

The runner's acceleration was 1\ m/s^2
