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

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

MRR = 1.984

Explanation:

Given that                              

Depth of cut ,d=0.105 in

Diameter D= 1 in

Speed V= 105 sfpm

feed f= 0.015 ipr

Now  the metal   removal  rate   given as

MRR= 12 f V d

d= depth of cut

V= Speed

f=Feed

MRR= Metal removal rate

By putting the values

MRR= 12 f V d

MRR = 12 x 0.015 x 105 x 0.105

MRR = 1.984

Therefore answer is -

1.944

Introduction about steam distillation
Vikentia [17]

Answer: Introduction to Steam Distillation. Steam distillation is a separation process which purifies isolate temperature-sensitive materials, such as natural aromatic compounds. In steam distillation, dry steam is passed through the plant material. These vapours undergo condensation and collection in receivers.

A steam turbine has isentropic efficiency of 0.8. Isentropically, it is supposed to deliver work of 100 kW. What is the actual w
trapecia [35]

Answer:

80 kW; 11 kW; 8 kW; 0.6

Explanation:

Part 1

Isentropic turbine efficiency:  

\eta_t = \frac{\text{Real turbine work}}{\text{isentropic turbine work}} = \frac{W_{real}}{W_s}

W_{real} = \eta_t*W_s

W_{real} = 0.8*100 kW

W_{real} = 80 kW

Part 2

Coefficient of performance COP is defined by:

COP = \frac{Q_{out}}{W}

Q_{out} = W*COP

Q_{out} = 5 kW*2.2

Q_{out} = 11 kW

Part 3

(a)

Energy balance for a refrigeration cycle gives:

Q_{in} + W = Q_{out}

3 kW + 5 kW = Q_{out}

8 kW = Q_{out}

(b)

COP = \frac{Q_{in}}{W}

COP = \frac{3 kW}{5 kW}

COP = 0.6
