If the rotational speed of a pump motor is reduced by 35%, what is the effect on the pump performance in terms of capacity, head

, and power requirements
Engineering

FinnZ [79.3K]2 years ago

Answer:

- the capacity of the pump reduces by 35%.

- the head gets reduced by 57%.

the power consumption by the pump is reduced by 72%

Explanation:

the pump capacity is related to the speed as speed is reduces by 35%

so new speed is (100 - 35) = 65% of orginal speed

speed Q ∝ N ⇒ Q1/Q2 = N1/N2

Q2 = (N2/N1)Q1    

Q2 = (65/100)Q1

which means that the capacity of the pump is also reduces by 35%.

the head in a pump is related by

H ∝ N² ⇒ H1/H2 = N1²/N2²

H2 = (N2N1)²H1

H2 = (65/100)²H1 = 0.4225H1

so the head gets reduced by 1 - 0.4225 = 0.5775 which is 57%.

Now The power requirement of a pump is related as

P ∝ N³ ⇒ P1/P2 = N1³/N2³

P2 = (N2/N1)³P1

H2 = (65/100)²P1 = 0.274P1

So the reduction in power is 1 - 0.274 = 0.725 which is 72%

Therefore for a reduction of 35% of speed there is a reduction of 72% of the power consumption by the pump.

N DevOps, high levels of automation are expected, which increases productivity. Which fact illustrates this productivity increas
Bess [88]

Answer:

Less intervention of humans.

Explanation:

This fact illustrate that less intervention of human in the production is the main cause for increase in productivity because use of machinery completed the work in less time as compared to the use of human labour. In many industries, machines takes the place of humans which increases the production of products but at the same time, increase the unemployment rate in the society. Making the whole industry on automation can increase the productivity of products in less time.

When you learned about the Highway Transportation system you learned about 6 different types of people as
Musya8 [376]

Answer: 3 different types of people using Highway Transportation system are :

1. Pedestrians - should be given priority while driving.

2. Cyclists - should be given enough space on road.

3. Motorcyclists- should be given enough space on road.

Explanation:

1. Pedestrians - Most of pedestrians use to walk on the footpath along side road that keeps them on a safe side. But there are places without footpath along side road, in that case they have to walk on the road itself. Here, we need to take care for them. We need to wait in case they are crossing road and also check for them while taking a turn.

2. Cyclists - They travel on road but are tough to figure out. They travel at a slower pace compared to cars. To avoid any accident with them, we are supposed to give them enough space which should be equivalent to a car's space.

3. Motorcyclists - They can pass by very closely and also come between lanes. Most of the things to be considered here are same as that of cyclists. Here also, we need to check for them carefully while taking a turn. Also, need to give them enough space.
