The chilled water system for a 27-story building has a pump located at ground level. The lost head in a vertical riser from the

pump to an equipment room on the twenty-seventhfloor is 40ftof water, and the pump produces 270ft of head. What is the pressure on the suction side of the pump for a pressure of 8 psig to exist in the riser on the twenty-fifth floor

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

The chilled water system for a 27-story building has a pump located at ground level. The lost head in a vertical riser from the pump to an equipment room on the twenty-seventh floor is 40ft of water, and the pump produces 270ft of head. What is the pressure on the suction side of the pump for a pressure of 8 psig to exist in the riser on the twenty-fifth floor

Assume 12ft of elevation per floor

Answer: 48.68 psig

Explanation:

First  we calculate the elevation of the building

hb = 27 story * 12ft per floor/story

hb =  324 ft

given that the head lost in the vertical riser hL = 40 ft

now the delivery head required in the riser on he 27th floor;

hd = 8 psig *  (2.31 ft / 1 psig)

hd = 18.46 ft

Now calculate the suction head required by balancing the energy per unit weight of water, considering pump as the control volume

hp = (hb + hL + hd) - hs

hs = hb + hL + hd - hp

where hp is the head developed by the pump (270 ft)

hb is the elevation of the 27th floor of the building ( 324 ft)

hL is the head lost in the vertical riser ( 40 ft)

hd is the head required to exist in the riser on the 27th floor (18.46 ft)

so we substitute

hs = 324 ft + 40 ft + 18.46 ft - 270 ft

hs = 112.46

so 112.46ft * (1 psig / 2.31 ft)

= 48.68 psig

How long will it take for a sound impulse to travel through a copper rod 25 kilometers long?
jekas [21]

By conducting exhaustive, high-intensity online research for about 15 seconds, I found a source that says the speed of sound in copper is 4600 m/s.  (You could easily have completed the same research project in about 1/3 of the time it took you to type and post the question here.)

Time it takes = (distance) / (speed)

Time = (25,000 meters) / (4600 m/s)

Time = (25 / 4.6) km-sec/km

<em>Time = 5.43 seconds </em>

To date, Saturn is known to have 13 rings made from which of the following?
ankoles [38]

I think the answer is Dust. Moons and stars definitely don't seem likely and dark particles, I am not even sure what those are. But I have seen rings on other planets before. Hope this helps. :)

Will a seismic wave traveling through a solid go slower or faster than a seismic wave traveling through a liquid? Why?
Snezhnost [94]
You can't answer this question because you aren't giving the specific type of seismic waves. There is an s-wave a p-wave and an l-wave. Those are the basic waves. An S-wave cannot travel through a liquid at all. So, obviously it travels slower than any other seismic wave. 


<span>It would travel faster because their speed depends on the density and composition of material that they pass through.</span>

A driver entering the outskirts of a city takes her foot off the accelerator so that the car slows down from 90 km/h to 50 km/h
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

a = (vf - vi) / t

a = (50 - 90) / 10.0

a = -4 km/h/s(1000 m/km / 3600 s/h)

a = - 1.11 m/s²
