A water pump is a positive displacement-type pump true or false

Physics
1 answer:
Kay [80]4 years ago
6 0

Answer: True

A water pump belong to a positive displacement pump that provides constant flow of water at fixed speed, regardless of changes in the counter pressure. The two main types of positive displacement pump are rotary pumps and reciprocating pumps.

Moreover, water pump is a reciprocating positive displacement pump that have an expanding cavity on the suction side and a decreasing cavity on the discharge side. In water pumps, the liquid flows into the pumps as the cavity on the suction side expands and then the liquid flows out of the discharge as the cavity collapses providing water in a pail.

Step2247 [10]

Answer:

A) 60%

B) p2 = 1237.2 kPa

   v2 = 0.348 m^3

C) w1-2 = w3-4 = 1615.5 kJ

   Q2-3 = 60 kJ

Explanation:

A) calculate thermal efficiency

  Л = 1 - \frac{Tl}{Th}  

where Tl = 300 k

            Th = 750 k

hence thermal efficiency ( Л ) = [1 - ( 300 / 750 )] * 100 = 60%

B) calculate the pressure and volume at the beginning of the isothermal expansion

calculate pressure ( P2 )  :

= P3v3 = mRT3  ----- (1)

v3 = 0.4m , mR = 2* 0.287, T3 = 750

hence P3 = 1076.25

next equation to determine P2

Qex = p3v3 ln( p2/p3 )

60 = 1076.25 * 0.4 ln(p2/p3)

hence ; P2 = 1237.2 kpa

calculate volume ( V2 )

p2v2 = p3v3

v2 = p3v3 / p2

   = (1076.25 * 0.4 ) /  1237.2  

  = 0.348 m^3

C) calculate the work and heat transfer for each four processes

work :

W1-2 = mCv( T2 - T1 )

        = 2*0.718 ( 750 - 300 ) = 1615.5 kJ

W3-4 = 1615.5 kJ

heat transfer

Q2-3 = W2-3 = 60KJ

Q3-4 = 0

Express the kinetic energy K in terms of the potential energy U.<br><br><br> K=GMm/2R
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

K = -½U

Explanation:

From Newton's law of gravitation, the formula for gravitational potential energy is;

U = -GMm/R

Where,

G is gravitational constant

M and m are the two masses exerting the forces

R is the distance between the two objects

Now, in the question, we are given that kinetic energy is;

K = GMm/2R

Re-rranging, we have;

K = ½(GMm/R)

Comparing the equation of kinetic energy to that of potential energy, we can derive that gravitational kinetic energy can be expressed in terms of potential energy as;

K = -½U

In this type of bond, electrons are lost or gained by atoms, and the atoms are held together by electrical attraction.
expeople1 [14]
<span>In Ionic type of bonding, electrons are lost (more protons than electrons and positive charge) or gained (more electrons than protons, still a negative charge) by atoms, and the atoms are held together by electrical attraction in the process. Covalent bondings are the sharing of electrons as well as partial bondings. Covalent bondings’ electrons have the same charges thus, there is no gaining or losing electrons in the process of sharing. Strong bondings are applicable only to Hydrogen (H) atoms. </span>
