Answer:
The upper limit on the flow rate = 39.46 ft³/hr
Explanation:
Using Ergun Equation to calculate the pressure drop across packed bed;
we have:
where;
L = length of the bed
= viscosity
U = superficial velocity
= void fraction
dp = equivalent spherical diameter of bed material (m)
= liquid density (kg/m³)
However, since U ∝ Q and all parameters are constant ; we can write our equation to be :
ΔP = AQ + BQ²
where;
ΔP = pressure drop
Q = flow rate
Given that:
9.6 = A12 + B12²
Then
12A + 144B = 9.6 -------------- equation (1)
24A + 576B = 24.1 --------------- equation (2)
Using elimination methos; from equation (1); we first multiply it by 2 and then subtract it from equation 2 afterwards ; So
288 B = 4.9
B = 0.017014
From equation (1)
12A + 144B = 9.6
12A + 144(0.017014) = 9.6
12 A = 9.6 - 144(0.017014)
A = 0.5958
Thus;
ΔP = AQ + BQ²
Given that ΔP = 50 psi
Then
50 = 0.5958 Q + 0.017014 Q²
Dividing by the smallest value and then rearranging to a form of quadratic equation; we have;
Q² + 35.02Q - 2938.8 = 0
Solving the quadratic equation and taking consideration of the positive value for the upper limit of the flow rate ;
Q = 39.46 ft³/hr
Work done is by the change in the potential energy of the system. The work done by gravity is 924.63 J.

What is the Kinetic Energy?</h3>
- Potential energy in physics is the energy that an item retains as a result of its position in relation to other objects, internal tensions, electric charge, or other elements.
- The gravitational potential energy of an object, which is based on its mass and distance from another object's center of mass, the elastic potential energy of an extended spring, and the electric potential energy of an electric charge in an electric field are examples of common types of potential energy. The joule, denoted by the letter J, is the energy unit in the International System of Units (SI).
Solution:
mass = 5.10 kg
height = 18.5 mm
We know that work done by the gravity on the watermelon is the change in the potential energy of the watermelon, therefore,
Work done due to gravity = change in the potential energy of the system
W =
W = mg (h₀ - h₁)
W = 5.10 × 9.8 × 18.5
W = 924.63 J
