Can someone pls give me the answer to this?

An 80-percent-efficient pump with a power input of 20 hp is pumping water from a lake to a nearby pool at a rate of 1.5 ft3/s th

photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

mechanical power used to overcome frictional effects in piping is 2.37 hp

Explanation:

given data

efficient pump = 80%

power input = 20 hp

rate = 1.5 ft³/s

free surface = 80 ft

solution

we use mechanical pumping power delivered to water is

${W_{u}}= \eta {W_{pump}}$ .............1

put here value

${W_{u}}$ = (0.80)(20)

${W_{u}}$ = 16 hp

and

now we get change in the total mechanical energy of water is equal to the change in its potential energy

$\Delta{E_{mech}} = {m} \Delta pe$ ..............2

$\Delta {E_{mech}} = {m} g \Delta z$

and that can be express as

$\Delta {E_{mech}} = \rho Q g \Delta z$ ..................3

so

$\Delta {E_{mech}} = (62.4lbm/ft^3)(1.5ft^3/s)(32.2ft/s^2)(80ft)[\frac{1lbf}{32.2lbm\cdot ft/s^2}][\frac{1hp}{550lbf \cdot ft/s}]$ ......4

solve it we get

$\Delta {E_{mech}} = 13.614$ hp

so here

due to frictional effects, mechanical power lost in piping

we get here

${W_{frict}} = {W_{u}}-\Delta {E_{mech}}$

put here value

${W_{frict}}$ = 16 -13.614

${W_{frict}}$ = 2.37 hp

so mechanical power used to overcome frictional effects in piping is 2.37 hp

Writing an excellent problem statement will not help guide you through the rest of the process and steer you towards the BEST so

Ilya [14]

Answer:

Writing an excellent problem statement will not help guide you through the rest of the process and steer you towards the BEST solution.

False

Explanation:

An excellent problem statement sets the overall tone for the rest of the engineering process, whether it be at the analysis, design, or implementation stages. This is why a problem statement must be focused, clear, and specific. An excellent problem statement contains the problem definition, method for solving the problem (the claim proposed), purpose, statement of objectives, and scope. For an excellent problem statement to be effective, it must also show the gap that is to be closed to achieve the intended objective.

There have been many attempts to manufacture and market plastic bicycles. All have been too flexible and soft. Which design-limi

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

The design-limiting property that insufficiently large is the elastic modulus (Young modulus)

Explanation:

Plastic usually have a relatively low elastic modulus, this couses the material to deform too much under stress. In the case of a bicycle, a little weight you put on it or little bumps will cause the bicycle to deform too much.

For a steel alloy it has been determined that a carburizing heat treatment of 11-h duration will raise the carbon concentration

Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

Time =t2=58.4 h

Explanation:

Since temperature is the same hence using condition

x^2/Dt=constant

where t is the time as temperature so D also remains constant

hence

x^2/t=constant

2.3^2/11=5.3^2/t2

time=t^2=58.4 h
