Answer:

The maximum water pressure at the discharge of the pump (exit) = 496 kPa

Explanation:

The equation expressing the relationship of the power input of a pump can be computed as:

E _{pump,u} = \dfrac{m(P_2-P_1)}{\rho}

where;

m = mass flow rate = 120 kg/min

the pressure at the inlet P_1 = 96 kPa

the pressure at the exit P_2 = ???

the pressure \rho = 1000 kg/m³

∴

0.8 \times 10^{3} \ W = \dfrac{(120 \ kg/min * 1min/60 s)(P_2-96000)}{1000}

0.8 \times 10^{3}\times 1000 = {(120 \ kg/min * 1min/60 s)(P_2-96000)}

800000 = {(120 \ kg/min * 1min/60 s)(P_2-96000)}

\dfrac{800000}{2} = P_2-96000

400000 = P₂ - 96000

400000 +  96000 = P₂

P₂ = 496000 Pa

P₂ = 496 kPa

Thus, the maximum water pressure at the discharge of the pump (exit) = 496 kPa

At an axial load of 22 kN, a 15-mm-thick × 40-mm-wide polyimide polymer bar elongates 4.1 mm while the bar width contracts 0.15
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

The Poisson's Ratio of the bar is 0.247

Explanation:

The Poisson's ratio is got by using the formula

Lateral strain / longitudinal strain

Lateral strain = elongation / original width (since we are given the change in width as a result of compession)

Lateral strain = 0.15mm / 40 mm =0.00375

Please note that strain is a dimensionless quantity, hence it has no unit.

The Longitudinal strain is the ratio of the elongation to the original length in the longitudinal direction.

Longitudinal strain = 4.1 mm / 270 mm = 0.015185

Hence, the Poisson's ratio of the bar is 0.00375/0.015185 = 0.247

The Poisson's Ratio of the bar is 0.247

Please note also that this quantity also does not have a dimension

Given: A graphite-moderated nuclear reactor. Heat is generated uniformly in uranium rods of 0.05m diameter at the rate of 7.5 x
sineoko [7]

Answer:

The maximum temperature at the center of the rod is found to be 517.24 °C

Explanation:

Assumptions:

1- Heat transfer is steady.

2- Heat transfer is in one dimension, due to axial symmetry.

3- Heat generation is uniform.

Now, we consider an inner imaginary cylinder of radius R inside the actual uranium rod of radius Ro. So, from steady state conditions, we know that, heat generated within the rod will be equal to the heat conducted at any point of the rod. So, from Fourier's Law, we write:

Heat Conduction Through Rod = Heat Generation

-kAdT/dr = qV

where,

k = thermal conductivity = 29.5 W/m.K

q = heat generation per unit volume = 7.5 x 10^7 W/m³

V = volume of rod = π r² l

A = area of rod = 2π r l

using these values, we get:

dT = - (q/2k)(r dr)

integrating from r = 0, where T(0) = To = Maximum center temperature, to r = Ro, where, T(Ro) = Ts = surface temperature = 120°C.

To -Ts = qr²/4k

To = Ts + qr²/4k

To = 120°C + (7.5 x 10^7 W/m³)(0.025 m)²/(4)(29.5 W/m.°C)

To = 120° C + 397.24° C

<u>To = 517.24° C</u>
