A 78-percent efficient 12-hp pump is pumping water from a lake to a nearby pool at a rate of 1.5 ft3/s through a constant-diamet

er pipe. The free surface of the pool is 32 ft above that of the lake. Determine the irreversible head loss of the piping system, in ft, and the mechanical power used to overcome it. Take the density of water to be 62.4 lbm/ft3.

Answer:

irreversible head loss is 38.51 ft

mechanical power 6.55 hp

Explanation:

Given data:

Pump Power 12 hp = 8948.39 watt = 6600 lbs ft/sec

Q = 1.5 ft^3/s

Pump actually delivers P'  = \eta P = 0.78 \times 8948.39 = 6979.74 watt

Power that water gains= mgh = \rho \phi gh = r \phi h

P = 62.4 \times 1.5 \times 32 = 2995.2 lbs ft/sec

hence Power lost = 6600 - 2995.2  3604.8 lbs ft/sec = 6.55 hp

head losshl = \frac{3604.8}{r \phi} = \frac{3604.8}{62.4 \times 1.5}

hl = 38.51 ft

An aluminum electrical cable is 20 mm in diameter is covered by a plastic insulation (k = 1 W/m-k) of critical thickness. This w
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

the heat loss from this insulated wire is less

Explanation:

Given data in question

diameter of cable (d)  =  20 mm

( K ) = 1 W/m-k

heat transfer coefficient (h) = 50 W/m²-K

To find out

the heat loss from this insulated wire

solution

we will find out thickness of wire

heat loss is depend on wire thickness also

we have given dia 20 mm

so radius will be d/2 = 20/ 2 = 10 mm

Now we find the critical thickness i.e.

critical thickness = K / heat transfer coefficient

critical thickness = 1 / 50 = 0.02 m i.e. 20 mm

now we can see that critical thickness is greater than radius 10 mm

so our rate of heat loss will be decreasing

so we can say our correct option is (a) less

guapka [62]

Answer:

a. Composition of Vector.

Explanation:

When a bird flies in the air, it stretches its wings into air and this movement helps it move in a certain direction. This is an example of composition of vector. Air strikes the wings in opposite direction and bird wing movement helps it move against the wind.
