Measurements made on an operating centrifugal pump indicate that for a flow rate of 240 gpm, 6 HP are being consumed. The operat

ing manual says the pump is 62% efficient at these conditions. What is the actual head increase across the pump? (61.3 ft)

Answer:

62.1 ft

Explanation:

We know that 1 gpm= 0.0022 ft^{3}/s hence 240 gpm will be

240*0.0022=0.528 ft^{3}/s

From the formula of obtaining efficiency

\eta=\frac {\gamma Q h_a}{500W_{in}} and making h_a the subject we have

h_a=\frac {\eta*550*W_{in}}{\gamma Q} where Q is flow rate, \gamma is specific weight of water, h_a is actual head rise and W_{in} is the power input to the compressor

Substituting 0.62 for \eta, 6hp for W_{in}, 62.4 lb/ft^{3} for \gamma and 0.528 ft^{3}/s for Q then

h_a=\frac {0.62*550*6}{62.4*0.528}=\frac {2046}{32.9472}=62.09936\approx 62.1 ft

Therefore, actual head rise of the water being pumped is 62.1 ft

a 252,000j of heat energy is required to heat 2kg water. if (CH2O=42000j/kgk.what is change in temperature ?​
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

theres an decrease in temperature because 252,000 is more than 42,000. so its colder and not as hot as 252,000.

How does energy from an earthquake reach each surface? Describe the three types of seismic waves.
WITCHER [35]
Body waves travel through the interior of the Earth. Surface waves travel across the surface. Surface waves decay more slowly with distance than body waves which travel in three dimensions. Particle motion of surface waves is larger than that of body waves, so surface waves tend to cause more damage.
