Options are missing and they are;

A. Propeller pump

B. Jet (mixed flow) pump

C. Centrifugal pump

D. Positive displacement pump

Answer:

C. Centrifugal pump

Explanation:

Dynamic pumps which are also known as centrifugal pumps are the ones widely used when we require high discharge. This is because they deal with transfer of fluids with low viscosity in flow rates that are high. Another reason is that they are also very good with low pressure installation.

A strain gauge with a 5 mm gauge length gives a displacement reading of 1.25 um. Calculate the stress value given by this displa

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

stress = 50MPa

Explanation:

given data:

Length of strain guage is 5mm

displacement $\delta = 1.25 \mu m =\frac{1.25}{1000} = 0.00125 mm$

stress due to displacement in structural steel can be determined by using following relation

$E =\frac{stress}{strain}$

$stress = E \times strain$

where E is young's modulus of elasticity

E for steel is 200 GPa

$stress = 200\times 10^3 *\frac{1.25*10^{-3}}{5}$

stress = 50MPa

A well insulated rigid tank contains 4 kg of argon gas at 450 kPa and 30 C. A valve is opened, allowing the argon to escape unti

natima [27]

Answer:

Final mass of Argon= 2.46 kg

Explanation:

Initial mass of Argon gas ( M1 ) = 4 kg

P1 = 450 kPa

T1 = 30°C = 303 K

P2 = 200 kPa

k ( specific heat ratio of Argon ) = 1.667

assuming a reversible adiabatic process

<u>Calculate the value of the M2 </u>

Applying ideal gas equation ( PV = mRT )

P₁V / P₂V = m₁ RT₁ / m₂ RT₂

hence : m2 = P₂T₁ / P₁T₂ * m₁

= (200 * 303 ) / (450 * 219 ) * 4

= 2.46 kg

<em>Note: Calculation for T2 is attached below</em>
