A vacuum pump is used to drain a basement of 20 °C water (with a density of 998 kg/m3 ). The vapor pressure of water at this tem
lord [1]

Answer:

The maximum theoretical height that the pump can be placed above liquid level is \Delta h=9.975\,m

Explanation:

To pump the water, we need to avoid cavitation. Cavitation is a phenomenon in which liquid experiences a phase transition into the vapour phase because pressure drops below the liquid's vapour pressure at that temperature.  As a liquid is pumped upwards, it's pressure drops. to see why, let's look at Bernoulli's equation:

\frac{\Delta P}{\rho}+g\, \Delta h +\frac{1}{2}  \Delta v^2 =0

(\rho stands here for density, h for height)

Now, we are assuming that there aren't friction losses here. If we assume further that the fluid is pumped out at a very small rate, the velocity term would be negligible, and we get:

\frac{\Delta P}{\rho}+g\, \Delta h  =0

\Delta P= -g\, \rho\, \Delta h

This means that pressure drop is proportional to the suction lift's height.

We want the pressure drop to be small enough for the fluid's pressure to be always above vapour pressure, in the extreme the fluid's pressure will be almost equal to vapour pressure.

That means:

\Delta P = 2.34\,kPa- 100 \,kPa = -97.66 \, kPa\\

We insert that into our last equation and get:

\frac{ \Delta P}{ -g\, \rho\,}= \Delta h\\\Delta h=\frac{97.66 \, kPa}{998 kg/m^3 \, \, 9.81 m/s^2} \\\Delta h=9.975\,m

And that is the absolute highest height that the pump could bear. This, assuming that there isn't friction on the suction pipe's walls, in reality the height might be much less, depending on the system's pipes and pump.

Calculate the volume of a hydraulic accumulator capable of delivering 5 liters of oil between 180 and 80 bar, using as a preload
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

1) V_o = 10 liters

2) V_o = 12.26 liters

Explanation:

For isothermal process n =1

V_o =\frac{\Delta V}{(\frac{p_o}{p_1})^{1/n} -(\frac{p_o}{p_2})^{1/n}}

V_o  = \frac{5}{[\frac{72}{80}]^{1/1} -[\frac{72}{180}]^{1/1}}

V_o = 10 liters

calculate pressure ratio to determine correction factor

\frac{p_2}{p_1} =\frac{180}{80} = 2.25

correction factor for calculate dpressure ration  for isothermal process is

c1 = 1.03

actual \ volume = c1\times 10 = 10.3 liters

b) for adiabatic process

n =1.4

volume of hydraulic accumulator is given as

V_o =\frac{\Delta V}{[\frac{p_o}{p_1}]^{1/n} -[\frac{p_o}{p_2}]^{1/n}}

V_o  = \frac{5}{[\frac{72}{80}]^{1/1.4} -[\frac{72}{180}]^{1/1.4}}

V_o = 12.26 liters

calculate pressure ratio to determine correction factor

\frac{p_2}{p_1} =\frac{180}{80} = 2.25

correction factor for calculate dpressure ration  for isothermal process is

c1 = 1.15

actual \volume = c1\times 10 = 11.5 liters
