Answer:

a). TRUE

Explanation:

Thermal efficiency of a system is the defined as the ratio of the net work done to the total heat input to the system. It is a dimensionless quantity.

Mathematically, thermal efficiency is

η = net work done / heat input

While heat rate is the reciprocal of efficiency. It is defined as the ratio of heat supplied to the system to the useful work done.

Mathematically, heat rate is

Heat rate = heat input / net work done

Thus from above we can see that heat rate is the reciprocal of thermal efficiency.

Thus, Heat rate is reciprocal of thermal efficiency.

The water of a 14’ × 48’ metal frame pool can drain from the pool through an opening at the side of the pool. The opening is abo

Tresset [83]

Answer:

Explanation:

Height h = 1.03m

Volume v = 3780 gallons = 3780 * 0.0037851m^3 = 14.3073m^3

Time t = 13.5 mins = 13.5 * 60 = 810 seconds

Length of pool L = 14 inch = 14 * 2.54 = 35.56cm

width of pool b = 48 inch = 48 * 2.54 = 121.92 cm

a.) Consider the bernoulli's equation is given as:

$P_1+\rho gh_1 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_1^2 = P_2 + \rho gh_2 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2 ...(1)$

consider the equation of bernoulli at the top of the pool

$P_0+\rho gh_1 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_1^2 =constant ...(2)$

where $P_1=P_0$ atm pressure

At the top of the pool $v_1=0m/s$ , substitute in V_1 in equation (2)

$P_0+\rho gh_1 =constant ...(3)$

Hence equation (3) serves as the bernoullis equation at the top.

b.) Consider the equation of bernoulli's at the opening of the pool

$P_2+\rho gh_2 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2 =constant ...(4)\\P_0+\rho gh_2 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2 =constant ...(5)$

where $P_2=P_0$ atm pressure and $h_2=0m$

$P_0+\rho v_1^2 =constant ...(6)$

Hence equation (6) serves as the bernoullis equation of water at the opening of the pool.

c.) Consider the equation (3) and (4)

$P_0+\rho gh_1 =P_0+\rho v_1^2\\\\\frac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2=\rho gh_1\\v_2^2=2gh_1\\v_2=(\sqrt{2gh_1})m/s...(7)$

Hence velocity is $v_2=(\sqrt{2gh_1})m/s$

d.) consider (7)

$v_2=(\sqrt{2(9.81)(1.03)})=4.4954m/s(approx)$

This is the norminal value of velocity

e.) consider the equation of flow rate interval of v and t

flow(t)= $\frac{dv}{dt}(m^3/s)$ hence this is the flow rate

f.) Consider the equation cross sectional area in terms of V,v2 and t

$AV_2=\frac{v}{t}\\\\A=\frac{v}{v_2t}(m^2)...8$

hence this serves as the cross sectional area.

g.) Consider the equation of area from equation (8)

$A=\frac{v}{v_2t}\\=\frac{14.3073}{4.4954\times 810}=0.003929=0.00393m^2=39.3cm^2$
