A pump transfers water from a lake to a reservoir, which is located 29.2 m above the lake, at a rate of 11.5 L/s. Determine the

amount of power (in kW) required to pump water from the lake to the reservoir.

Answer:

$P=3290.84KW$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Height $h=29.2m$

Rate $Q=11.5L/s=>11.5*10^{-3}$

Generally the equation for Power is mathematically given by

$P=\rho*g*Q*h$

$P=1000*9.81*11.5*10^{-3}*29.2$

$P=3290.84KW$

For heat transfer purposes, a standing man can be mod-eled as a 30-cm-diameter, 170-cm-long vertical cylinderwith both the top a

jeyben [28]

Answer:

Rate of Heat Loss = 336 W

Explanation:

First, we will find the surface area of the cylinder that is modelled as the man:

$Area = A = (2\pi r)(l)$

where,

r = radius of cylinder = 30 cm/2 = 15 cm = 0.15 m

l = length of cylinder = 170 cm = 1.7 m

Therefore,

$A = 2\pi(0.15\ m)(1.7\ m)\\A = 1.6\ m^2$

Now, we will calculate the rate of heat loss:

$Rate\ of\ Heat\ Loss = hA\Delta T$

where,

h = convective heat tranfer coefficient = 15 W/m²K

ΔT = Temperature difference = 34°C - 20°C = 14°C

Therefore,

$Rate\ of\ Heat\ Loss = (15\ W/m^2K)(1.6\ m^2)(14\ K)\\$

<u>Rate of Heat Loss = 336 W</u>

A long rod of 60-mm diameter and thermophysical properties rho=8000 kg/m^3, c=500J/kgK, and k=50 W/mK is initally at a uniform t

Monica [59]

Answer:

Tc = 424.85 K

Explanation:

Given that,

$D = 60 mm = 0.06 m$

$\rho = 8000 kg/m^3$

$k = 50 w/m . kc = 500 j/kg.k$

$h_{\infty} = 1000 w/m^2t_{\infity} = 750 kt_w = 500 K$

$surface area = As = \pi dL \\\frac{As}{L} = \pi D = \pi \timeS 0.06$

HEAT FLOW Q is

$Q = h_{\infty} As (T_[\infty} - Tw) = 1000 \pi\times 0.06 (750-500)$

= 47123.88 w per unit length of rod

volumetric heat rate

$q = \frac{Q}{LAs}$

$= \frac{47123.88}{\frac{\pi}{4} D^2 \times 1}$

$q = 1.66\times 10^{7} w/m^3$

$Tc = \frac{- qR^2}{4K} + Tw$

$= \frac{ - 1.67\times 10^7 \times (\frac{0.06}{2})^2}{4\times 50} + 500$

= 424.85 K

A satellite would have a mass of 270 kg on the surface of Mars. Determine the weight of the satellite in pounds if it is in orbi

koban [17]

Answer:

26 lbf

Explanation:

The mass of the satellite is the same regardless of where it is.

The weight however, depends on the acceleration of gravity.

The universal gravitation equation:

g = G * M / d^2

Where

G: universal gravitation constant (6.67*10^-11 m^3/(kg*s))

M: mass of the body causing the gravitational field (mass of Earth = 6*10^24 kg)

d: distance to that body

15000 miles = 24140 km

The distance is to the center of Earth.

Earth radius = 6371 km

Then:

d = 24140 + 6371 = 30511 km

g = 6.67*10^-11 * 6*10^24 / 30511000^2 = 0.43 m/s^2

Then we calculate the weight:

w = m * a

w = 270 * 0.43 = 116 N

116 N is 26 lbf
