Answer:

Part A

The mass plow rate, is approximately 97.0 lbm/s

Part B

The power used to overcome friction, is approximately 1.9 hp

Explanation:

The efficiency of the pump, η = 80%

The power input to the pump, P = 20 hp

The speed of the water through the pipe, v = 10 ft./s

The diameter of the pipe, d = 5.2 inches = 13/30 ft.

The free surface of the pool above the lake, h = 80 ft.

The density of the water, ρ = 62.4 lbm/ft.³

Part A

The mass plow rate, \dot m = Q × ρ

Where;

ρ = 62.4 lbm/ft³

Q = A × v

A = The cross-sectional area of the pipe

∴ Q = π·d²/4 × v = π × ((13/30 ft.)²)/4 × 10 ft.s ≈ 1.4748 ft.³/s

∴ The mass plow rate, \dot m ≈ 1.4748 ft.³/s × 62.4 lbm/ft.³ = 97.02752 lbm/s

The mass plow rate, \dot m ≈ 97.0 lbm/s

Part B

The power to pump the water at the given rate, P_w =  \dot m·g·h

∴ P_w =  97.02752 lbm/s × 32.1740 ft./s² × 80 ft. ≈ 14.1130725 Hp

P_w ≈ 14.1130725 Hp

The power output of the pump, P_{out} = 0.8 × 20 hp = 16 hp

Therefore, the power used to overcome friction, P_f = P_{out} - P_w

∴ P_f ≈ 16 hp - 14.1130725 Hp ≈ 1.8869275 hp

The power used to overcome friction,  P_f ≈ 1.9 hp

yulyashka [42]

Answer:

beam with a span length of 10 ft, a width of 8 in, and an effective depth of 20 in. Normal weight concrete is used for the beam. This beam carries a total factored load of 9.4 kips. The beam is reinforced with tensile steel, which continues uninterrupted into the support. The concrete has a strength of 4000 psi, and the yield strength of the steel is 60,000 psi. Using No. 3 bars and 60,000 psi steel for stirrups, do the followings:

A rigid tank contains 2 kg of N2 and 4 kg of Co2 at temperature of 25 C and 1 MPa. Find the partial pressure of each gas respect
lions [1.4K]

Answer: Partial pressures are 0.6 MPa for nitrogen gas and 0.4 MPa for carbon dioxide.

Explanation: <u>Dalton's</u> <u>Law</u> <u>of</u> <u>Partial</u> <u>Pressure</u> states when there is a mixture of gases the total pressure is the sum of the pressure of each individual gas:

P_{total} = P_{1}+P_{2}+...

The proportion of each individual gas in the total pressure is expressed in terms of <u>mole</u> <u>fraction</u>:

X_{i} = moles of a gas / total number moles of gas

The rigid tank has total pressure of 1MPa.

  • Nitrogen gas:

molar mass = 14g/mol

mass in the tank = 2000g

number of moles in the tank: n=\frac{2000}{14} = 142.85mols

  • Carbon Dioxide:

molar mass = 44g/mol

mass in the tank = 4000g

number of moles in the tank: n=\frac{4000}{44} = 90.91mols

Total number of moles: 142.85 + 90.91 = 233.76 mols

To calculate partial pressure:

P_{i}=P_{total}.X_{i}

For Nitrogen gas:

P_{N_{2}}=1.\frac{142.85}{233.76}

P_{N_{2}} = 0.6

For Carbon Dioxide:

P_{total}=P_{N_{2}}+P_{CO_{2}}

P_{CO_{2}} = P_{total}-P_{N_{2}}

P_{CO_{2}}=1-0.6

P_{CO_{2}}= 0.4

Partial pressures for N₂ and CO₂ in a rigid tank are 0.6MPa and 0.4MPa, respectively.

Voltage signals are generated on the output of a piezoelectric pressure transducer that is equipped with an amplifier.
Tema [17]

Answer: True

Explanation: Piezoelectric pressure transducers are equipments that helps to generate voltage through the mechanical actions such as applied pressure. Piezoelectric transducer is made up of quartz crystals which are made of silicone and oxygen formed in a crystalline structure.

Piezoelectric transducer can also be described as a Piezoelectric sensor as it helps to detect electric voltage generated through applied pressure.
