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

Calculate the radius of a vanadium atom, given that it has a BCC crystal structure, density of 5.96 g/cm3, and an atomic weight
daser333 [38]

Answer:

The answer is "\bold{1.32 \times 10^{-3} \ cm}".

Explanation:

All of the atoms in a BCC crystalline structure are contained in the 8-corner unit cell.  

Each corner connects the atom to a single cell \frac{1}{8}  

Therefore, the unit cell number of atoms:  

= 8 \times \frac{1}{8}+ 1 \\\\= 1+1 \\\\= 2 \ atom

The mass unit cell = \frac{ \text{Number of atoms} \times \text{atomic weight}} {Avagadro number}\\\\= \frac{2 \times 50.9}{6.023 \times 10^{23}}  \\\\= 1.69 \times 10^{-22} \ g\\\\Area Of the atom= \frac{4r}{\sqrt{3}}\\\\   5.96 = \frac{1.69 \times 10^{-22}}{volume}\\\\volume= 2.835 \times 10^{25}\\\\v=d^3\\\\v= (\frac{4r}{\sqrt{3}})^3\\\\\to 2.835 \times 10^{-23} \times (\sqrt{3})^3 = 4^3 r^3  

\to \sqrt[3]{\frac{{2.835 \times 10^{-23} \times (\sqrt{3})^3}}{4^3}} =r\\\\\to r= 1.32 \times  10^{-3} \ cm

A liquid drug, with the viscosity and density of water, is to be administered through a hypodermic needle. The inside diameter o
vredina [299]

Answer:

(a) The maximum volume flow rate for which the flow will be laminar is 0.0190 cubic meter per second

(b) The pressure drop required to deliver the maximum flow rate is 148962.96 Pascal

(c) The corresponding wall shear stress is 7600 Pascal

Explanation:

Reynolds number = 2299, density of water = 1000kg/m^3, diameter of needle = 0.27mm = 0.00027m, Length of needle = 50mm = 0.05m, viscosity of water = 0.00089kg/ms, area = 0.05m × 0.05m = 0.0025m^2, coefficient of friction = 64 ÷ Reynolds number = 64 ÷ 2299 = 0.028

Velocity = (Reynolds number × viscosity) ÷ (density × diameter) = (2299 × 0.00089) ÷ (1000 × 0.00027) = 2.046 ÷ 0.27 = 7.58m/s

(a) Maximum volume flow rate = velocity × area of needle = 7.58 × 0.0025 = 0.0190 cubic meter per second

(b) Pressure drop = ( coefficient of friction × length × density × velocity^2) ÷ (2 × diameter) = (0.028 × 0.05 × 1000 × 7.58^2) ÷ (2 × 0.00027) = 80.44 ÷ 0.00054 = 148962.96 Pascal

(c) Wall shear stress = (density × volume flow rate) ÷ area = (1000 × 0.0190) ÷ 0.0025 = 7600 Pascal
