Briefly discuss if it would be better to operate with pumps in parallel or series and how your answer would change as the steepn

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

1) In series, the combined head will move from point 1 to point 2 in theory. However, practically speaking, the combined head and flow rate will move along the system curve to point 3.

2) In parallel, the combined head and volume flow will move along the system curve from point 1 to point 3.

Explanation:

1) Pump in series:

When two or more pumps are connected in series, their resulting pump performance curve will be obtained by adding their respective heads at the same flow rate as shown in the first diagram attached.

In the first diagram, we have 3 curves namely:

- system curve

- single pump curve

- 2 pump in series curve

Also, we have points labeled 1, 2 and 3.

- Point 1 represents the point that the system operates with one pump running.

- Point 2 represents the point where the head of two identical pumps connected in series is twice the head of a single pump flowing at the same rate.

- Point 3 is the point where the system is operating when both pumps are running.

Now, since the flowrate is constant, the combined head will move from point 1 to point 2 in theory. However, practically speaking, the combined head and flow rate will move along the system curve to point 3.

2) Pump in parallel:

When two or more pumps are connected in parallel, their resulting pump performance curve will be obtained by adding their respective flow rates at same head as shown in the second diagram attached.

In the second diagram, we have 3 curves namely:

- system curve

- single pump curve

- 2 pump in series curve

Also, we have points labeled 1, 2 and 3

- Point 1 represents the point that the system operates with one pump running.

- Point 2 represents the point where the flow rate of two identical pumps connected in series is twice the flow rate of a single pump.

- Point 3 is the point where the system is operating when both pumps are running.

In this case, the combined head and volume flow will move along the system curve from point 1 to point 3.

Two vertical, parallel clean glass plates are spaced a distance of 2mm apart. if the plates are placed in water, how high will t

Ulleksa [173]

Answer with Explanation:

The capillary rise in 2 parallel plates immersed in a liquid is given by the formula

$h=\frac{2\sigma cos(\alpha )}{\rho gd}$

where

$\sigma$ is the surface tension of the liquid

$\alpha$ is the contact angle of the liquid

$\rho$ is density of liquid

'g' is acceleratioj due to gravity

'd' is seperation between thje plates

Part a) When the liquid is water:

For water and glass we have

$\sigma =7.28\times 10^{-2}N/m$

$\alpha =0$

$\rho _{w}=1000kg/m^3$

Applying the values we get

$h=\frac{2\times 7.28\times 10^{-2}cos(0)}{1000\times 9.81\times 2\times 10^{-3}}=7.39mm$

Part b) When the liquid is mercury:

For mercury and glass we have

$\sigma =485.5\times 10^{-3}N/m$

$\alpha =138^o$

$\rho _{w}=13.6\times 10^{3}kg/m^3$

Applying the values we get

$h=\frac{2\times 485.5\times 10^{-3}cos(138)}{13.6\times 1000\times 9.81\times 2\times 10^{-3}}=-2.704mm$

The negative sign indicates that there is depression in mercury in the tube.

The condensed Q formula may be used for operations in which the friction loss can be determined for:

yan [13]

The condensed Q formula may be used for operations in which the friction loss can be determined for a: 3, 4, or 5 inch hose.

<h3>What is a firehose friction loss?</h3>

A firehose friction loss can be defined as a measure of the effect of the resistance of water against the inner side of a firehose, which typically results in a pressure drop at the terminal end.

Generally, some of the factors that affect the resistance or friction in a firehose include:

Length of hose.

Age of hose.

Water flow (gpm)

Water turbulence

Gravity

Mathematically, the firehose friction loss can be calculated by using this formula:

FL = C × (Q/100)² × L/100.

What does a manufacturing engineer do?

Lisa [10]

Answer: Manufacturing engineers may be responsible for solving production problems, conducting cost-benefit assessments, or designing and manufacturing goods and systems using computer-aided design software. Plant engineers and process engineers are two terms used by professionals in this industry. Manufacturing engineers are in charge of new and existing production lines' technical management, maintenance, and development. Employers are looking for people that are commercially aware and have good technical and analytical skills. They are in charge of keeping production costs low while preserving the product or service's quality, and they have considerable project expertise and insight.

Explanation: See above.

I hope this helps.
