Underground water is to be pumped by a 78% efficient 5- kW submerged pump to a pool whose free surface is 30 m above the undergr

ound water level. The diameter of the pipe is 7 cm on the intake side and 5 cm on the discharge side. Determine (a) the maximum flow rate of water (5-point) and (b) the pressure difference across the pump (5-point). Assume the elevation difference between the pump inlet and the outlet and the effect of the kinetic energy correction factors to be negligible

Answer:

a) The maximum flowrate of the pump is approximately 13,305.22 cm³/s

b) The pressure difference across the pump is approximately 293.118 kPa

Explanation:

The efficiency of the pump = 78%

The power of the pump = 5 -kW

The height of the pool above the underground water, h = 30 m

The diameter of the pipe on the intake side = 7 cm

The diameter of the pipe on the discharge side = 5 cm

a) The maximum flowrate of the pump is given as follows;

P = \dfrac{Q \cdot \rho \cdot g\cdot h}{\eta_t}

Where;

P = The power of the pump

Q = The flowrate of the pump

ρ = The density of the fluid = 997 kg/m³

h = The head of the pump = 30 m

g = The acceleration due to gravity ≈ 9.8 m/s²

\eta_t = The efficiency of the pump = 78%

\therefore Q_{max} = \dfrac{P \cdot \eta_t}{\rho \cdot g\cdot h}

Q_{max} = 5,000 × 0.78/(997 × 9.8 × 30) ≈ 0.0133 m³/s

The maximum flowrate of the pump Q_{max} ≈ 0.013305 m³/s = 13,305.22 cm³/s

b) The pressure difference across the pump, ΔP = ρ·g·h

∴ ΔP = 997 kg/m³ × 9.8 m/s² × 30 m = 293.118 kPa

The pressure difference across the pump, ΔP ≈ 293.118 kPa

ohaa [14]

Answer:

T = 15 kN

F = 23.33 kN

Explanation:

Given the data in the question,

We apply the impulse momentum principle on the total system,

mv₁ + ∑\int\limits^{t2}_{t1} {Fx} \, dt = mv₂

we substitute

[50 + 3(30)]×10³ × 0 + FΔt = [50 + 3(30)]×10³ ×  ( 45 × 1000 / 3600 )  

F( 75 - 0 ) =  1.75 × 10⁶

The resultant frictional tractive force F is will then be;

F =  1.75 × 10⁶ / 75

F = 23333.33 N

F = 23.33 kN

Applying the impulse momentum principle on the three cars;

mv₁ + ∑\int\limits^{t2}_{t1} {Fx} \, dt = mv₂

[3(30)]×10³ × 0 + FΔt = [3(30)]×10³ ×  ( 45 × 1000 / 3600 )  

F(75-0) = 1.125 × 10⁶

The force T developed is then;

T =  1.125 × 10⁶ / 75

T = 15000 N

T = 15 kN

dem82 [27]

Answer:

The answer is "Option a".

Explanation:

Myelination was the myelinization mechanism of a neuron axon. The endothelium is enveloped all around the axon and isolates the axon that inhibits the neuronal message from leaking with the other neuronal axons. Inside this example, therefore, its tubes tape worked similarly to those of myelin sheath, which stops brain transmission.

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:
