Answer:

a) -8 lb / ft^3

b) -70.4 lb / ft^3

c) 54.4 lb / ft^3

Explanation:

Given:

- Diameter of pipe D = 12 in

- Shear stress t = 2.0 lb/ft^2

- y = 62.4 lb / ft^3

Find pressure gradient dP / dx when:

a) x is in horizontal flow direction

b) Vertical flow up

c) vertical flow down

Solution:

- dP / dx as function of shear stress and radial distance r:

                      (dP - y*L*sin(Q))/ L = 2*t / r

                      dP / L - y*sin(Q) = 2*t / r

Where            dP / L = - dP/dx,

                      dP / dx = -2*t / r - y*sin(Q)

Where            r = D /2 ,

                      dP / dx = -4*t / D - y*sin(Q)

a) Horizontal Pipe Q = 0

Hence,           dP / dx = -4*2 / 1 - 62.4*sin(0)

                      dP / dx = -8 + 0

                      dP/dx   = -8 lb / ft^3

b) Vertical pipe flow up Q = pi/2

Hence,           dP / dx = -4*2 / 1 - 62.4*sin(pi/2)

                      dP / dx = 8 - 62.4

                      dP/dx   = -70.4 lb / ft^3

c) Vertical flow down Q = -pi/2

Hence,           dP / dx = -4*2 / 1 - 62.4*sin(-pi/2)

                      dP / dx = -8 + 62.4

                      dP/dx   = 54.4 lb / ft^3

Explain the concept of energy conversion as applied to the generation of electricity also known as electrical energy​
Allisa [31]

Answer:

Electrical energy is energy derived as a result of movement of electrons. When used loosely, electrical energy refers to energy that has been converted from electric potential energy. ... Once converted from potential energy, electrical energy can always be called another type of energy (heat, light, motion, etc.)

A geothermal heat pump absorbs 15 KJ/s of heat from the Earth 15 m below a house. This heat pump uses a 7.45 kJ/s compressor.
Oxana [17]

Answer:

COP of heat pump=3.013

COP of cycle=1.124

Explanation

W = Q2 - Q1 ----- equation 1

W = work done

Q2 = final energy

Q1 = initial energy

A) calculate the COP of the heat pump

COP =Q2/W

from equation 1

Q2 = Q1 + W = 15 + 7.45 = 22.45 KW

therefore COP =22.45/7.45  = 3.013

B) COP when cycle is reversed

COP = Q1/W

from equation 1

Q1 + W = Q2 ------ equation 2

Q2 = 15 Btu/s = 15 * 1.055 = 15.825 KW therefore from equation 2

Q1 = 8.375 KW

COP =8.375/7.45   = 1.124
