Water at 15°C is to be discharged from a reservoir at a rate of 18 L/s using two horizontal cast iron pipes connected in series

love history [14]

Answer:

The required pumping head is 1344.55 m and the pumping power is 236.96 kW

Explanation:

The energy equation is equal to:

$\frac{P_{1} }{\gamma } +\frac{V_{1}^{2} }{2g} +z_{1} =\frac{P_{2} }{\gamma } +\frac{V_{2}^{2} }{2g} +z_{2}+h_{i} -h_{pump} , if V_{1} =0,z_{2} =0\\h_{pump} =\frac{V_{2}^{2}}{2} +h_{i}-z_{1}$

For the pipe 1, the flow velocity is:

$V_{1} =\frac{Q}{\frac{\pi D^{2} }{4} }$

Q = 18 L/s = 0.018 m³/s

D = 6 cm = 0.06 m

$V_{1} =\frac{0.018}{\frac{\pi *0.06^{2} }{4} } =6.366m/s$

The Reynold´s number is:

$Re=\frac{\rho *V*D}{u} =\frac{999.1*6.366*0.06}{1.138x10^{-3} } =335339.4$

$\frac{\epsilon }{D} =\frac{0.00026}{0.06} =0.0043$

Using the graph of Moody, I will select the f value at 0.0043 and 335339.4, as 0.02941

The head of pipe 1 is:

$h_{1} =\frac{V_{1}^{2} }{2g} (k_{L}+\frac{fL}{D} )=\frac{6.366^{2} }{2*9.8} *(0.5+\frac{0.0294*20}{0.06} )=21.3m$

For the pipe 2, the flow velocity is:

$V_{2} =\frac{0.018}{\frac{\pi *0.03^{2} }{4} } =25.46m/s$

The Reynold´s number is:

$Re=\frac{\rho *V*D}{u} =\frac{999.1*25.46*0.03}{1.138x10^{-3} } =670573.4$

$\frac{\epsilon }{D} =\frac{0.00026}{0.03} =0.0087$

The head of pipe 1 is:

$h_{2} =\frac{V_{2}^{2} }{2g} (k_{L}+\frac{fL}{D} )=\frac{25.46^{2} }{2*9.8} *(0.5+\frac{0.033*36}{0.03} )=1326.18m$

The total head is:

hi = 1326.18 + 21.3 = 1347.48 m

The required pump head is:

$h_{pump} =\frac{25.46^{2} }{2*9.8} +1347.48-36=1344.55m$

The required pumping power is:

$P=Q\rho *g*h_{pump} =0.018*999.1*9.8*1344.55=236965.16W=236.96kW$

A series AC circuit contains a resistor, an inductor of 250 mH, a capacitor of 4.40 µF, and a source with ΔVmax = 240 V operatin

slega [8]

Answer:

Explanation:

Inductance = 250 mH = 250 / 1000 = 0.25 H

capacitance = 4.40 µF = 4.4 × 10⁻⁶ F ( µ = 10⁻⁶)

ΔVmax = 240, f frequency = 50Hz and I max = 110 mA = 110 /1000 = 0.11A

a) inductive reactance = 2πfl = 2 × 3.142 × 50 × 0.25 H =78.55 ohms

b) capacitive reactance = $\frac{1}{2\pi fC}$ = 1 / ( 2 × 3.142× 50 × 4.4 × 10⁻⁶ ) = 723.34 ohms

c) impedance = $\frac{Vmax}{Imax}$ = 240 / 0.11 = 2181.82 ohms

You want to plate a steel part having a surface area of 160 with a 0.002--thick layer of lead. The atomic mass of lead is 207.19

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

<u><em>To answer this question we assumed that the area units and the thickness units are given in inches.</em></u>

The number of atoms of lead required is 1.73x10²³.

Explanation:

To find the number of atoms of lead we need to find first the volume of the plate:

$V = A*t$

<u>Where</u>:

A: is the surface area = 160

t: is the thickness = 0.002

<u><em>Assuming that the units given above are in inches we proceed to calculate the volume: </em></u>

$V = A*t = 160 in^{2}*0.002 in = 0.32 in^{3}*(\frac{2.54 cm}{1 in})^{3} = 5.24 cm^{3}$

Now, using the density we can find the mass:

$m = d*V = 11.36 g/cm^{3}*5.24 cm^{3} = 59.5 g$

Finally, with the Avogadros number ( $N_{A}$ ) and with the atomic mass (A) we can find the number of atoms (N):

$N = \frac{m*N_{A}}{A} = \frac{59.5 g*6.022 \cdot 10^{23} atoms/mol}{207.19 g/mol} = 1.73 \cdot 10^{23} atoms$

Hence, the number of atoms of lead required is 1.73x10²³.

I hope it helps you!

Air exits a compressor operating at steady-state, steady-flow conditions at 150 oC, 825 kPa, with a velocity of 10 m/s through a

ioda

Answer:

a) Qe = 0.01963 m^3 / s , mass flow rate m^ = 0.1334 kg/s

b) Inlet cross sectional area = Ai = 0.11217 m^2 , Qi = 0.11217 m^3 / s

Explanation:

Given:-

- The compressor exit conditions are given as follows:

Pressure ( Pe ) = 825 KPa

Temperature ( Te ) = 150°C

Velocity ( Ve ) = 10 m/s

Diameter ( de ) = 5.0 cm

Solution:-

- Define inlet parameters:

Pressure = Pi = 100 KPa

Temperature = Ti = 20.0

Velocity = Vi = 1.0 m/s

Area = Ai

- From definition the volumetric flow rate at outlet ( Qe ) is determined by the following equation:

Qe = Ae*Ve

Where,

Ae: The exit cross sectional area

Ae = π*de^2 / 4

Therefore,

Qe = Ve*π*de^2 / 4

Qe = 10*π*0.05^2 / 4

Qe = 0.01963 m^3 / s

- To determine the mass flow rate ( m^ ) through the compressor we need to determine the density of air at exit using exit conditions.

- We will assume air to be an ideal gas. Thus using the ideal gas state equation we have:

Pe / ρe = R*Te

Where,

Te: The absolute temperature at exit

ρe: The density of air at exit

R: the specific gas constant for air = 0.287 KJ /kg.K

ρe = Pe / (R*Te)

ρe = 825 / (0.287*( 273 + 150 ) )

ρe = 6.79566 kg/m^3

- The mass flow rate ( m^ ) is given:

m^ = ρe*Qe

= ( 6.79566 )*( 0.01963 )

= 0.1334 kg/s

- We will use the "continuity equation " for steady state flow inside the compressor i.e mass flow rate remains constant:

m^ = ρe*Ae*Ve = ρi*Ai*Vi

- Density of air at inlet using inlet conditions. Again, using the ideal gas state equation:

Pi / ρi = R*Ti

Where,

Ti: The absolute temperature at inlet

ρi: The density of air at inlet

R: the specific gas constant for air = 0.287 KJ /kg.K

ρi = Pi / (R*Ti)

ρi = 100 / (0.287*( 273 + 20 ) )

ρi = 1.18918 kg/m^3

Using continuity expression:

Ai = m^ / ρi*Vi

Ai = 0.1334 / 1.18918*1

Ai = 0.11217 m^2

- From definition the volumetric flow rate at inlet ( Qi ) is determined by the following equation:

Qi = Ai*Vi

Where,

Ai: The inlet cross sectional area

Qi = 0.11217*1

Qi = 0.11217 m^3 / s

- The equations that will help us with required plots are:

Inlet cross section area ( Ai )

Ai = m^ / ρi*Vi

Ai = 0.1334 / 1.18918*Vi

Ai ( V ) = 0.11217 / Vi .... Eq 1

Inlet flow rate ( Qi ):

Qi = 0.11217 m^3 / s ... constant Eq 2
