A scale model is 4th the size of the pump. Determine the power ratio of the pump and its scale model if the ratio of the heads i

vredina [299]

Given:

size of scale model = 4(size of pump)

power ratio of pump and scale model = 5:1

Solution:

Let the diameter of scale model and pump be $d_{s}$ and $d_{p}$ respectively

and head be $H_{s}$ and $H_{p}$ respectively

Now, power, P is given as a function of head(H) and dischagre(Q)

P = $\rho gQH$ (1)

From eqn (1):

$P \propto QH$

and

$QH \propto \sqrt{H}D^{2}$

So,

$P \propto H^{\frac{3}{2}} D^{2}$

Therefore,

$\frac{P_{s}}{P_{p}}$ = $\frac{D_{s}^{2} H_{s}^{\frac{3}{2}}}{D_{p}^{2} H_{p}^{\frac{3}{2}}}$

$\frac{P_{s}}{P_{p}}$ = $\frac{D_{s}^{2} H_{s}^{\frac{3}{2}}}{D_{p}^{2} H_{p}^{\frac{3}{2}}}$

$\frac{P_{s}}{P_{p}}$ = $\frac{1^{2}\times 5^{\frac{3}{2}}}{4^{2}\times 1^{\frac{3}{2}}}$

$\frac{P_{s}}{P_{p}}$ = $\frac{5\sqrt{5}}{16}$

${P_{s}}:{P_{p}}$ = ${5\sqrt{5}}:{16}$

Technician A says some coolant recovery systems are pressurized. Technician B says the coolant recovery system is used to keep a

Digiron [165]

Answer: Technician A

Explanation: A coolant recovery system Is one of the most important part of a vehicles cooling system. When a coolant gets too hot, it forces it way out of the spring loaded radiator cap so as to relieve pressure. Any coolant which has escaped is recovered back through the discharge tube located in the recovery tank. The system is usually air free

A rod that was originally 100-cm-long experiences a strain of 82%. What is the new length of the rod?

Ierofanga [76]

Answer: (b)

Explanation:

Given

Original length of the rod is $L=100\ cm$

Strain experienced is $\epsilon=82\%=0.82$

Strain is the ratio of the change in length to the original length

$\Rightarrow \epsilon =\dfrac{\Delta L}{L}\\\\\Rightarrow 0.82=\dfrac{\Delta L}{100}\\\\\Rightarrow \Delta L=82\ cm$

Therefore, new length is given by (Considering the load is tensile in nature)

$\Rightarrow L'=\Delta L+L\\\Rightarrow L'=82+100=182\ cm$

Thus, option (b) is correct.
