A pump of a water distribution system at 25°C is powered by a 15 kW electric motor whose efficiency is 90 percent. The water flo

w rate through the pump is 50 L/s. The diameters of the inlet and outlet pipes are both 5 cm and the elevation difference across the pump is negligible. If the absolute pressures at the inlet and outlet of the pump are measured as 100 kPa and 300 kPa, respectively, determine the friction loss in the system.

The friction loss in the system is 3.480 kilowatts.

<h2>Procedure - Friction loss through a pump</h2><h2 /><h3>Pump model</h3><h3 />

Let suppose that the pump within a distribution system is an open system at steady state, whose mass and energy balances are shown below:

<h3>Mass balance</h3>

\dot m_{in}-\dot m_{out} = 0 (1)

\dot m_{in} = \frac{\dot V_{in}}{\nu_{in}} (2)

\dot m_{out} = \frac{\dot V_{out}}{\nu_{out}} (3)

<h3>Energy balance</h3>

\eta \cdot \dot W_{el} + \dot m_{in}\cdot (h_{in}-h_{out}) - \dot W_{f} = 0 (4)

Where:

  • \dot m_{in} - Inlet mass flow, in kilograms per second.
  • \dot m_{out} - Outlet mass flow, in kilograms per second.
  • \dot V_{in} - Inlet volume flow, in cubic meters per second.
  • \dot V_{out} - Outlet volume flow, in cubic meters per second.
  • \nu_{in} - Inlet specific volume, in cubic meters per kilogram.
  • \nu_{out} - Outlet specific volume, in cubic meters per kilogram.
  • \eta - Pump efficiency, no unit.
  • \dot W_{el} - Electric motor power, in kilowatts.
  • h_{in} - Inlet specific enthalpy, in kilojoules per kilogram.
  • h_{out} - Outlet specific enthalpy, in kilojoules per kilogram.
  • \dot W - Work losses due to friction, in kilowatts.

<h3>Data from steam tables</h3>

From steam tables we get the following water properties at inlet and outlet:

Inlet

p = 100\,kPa, T = 25\,^{\circ}C, \nu = 0.001003\,\frac{kJ}{kg}, h = 104.927\,\frac{kJ}{kg}, Subcooled liquid

Outlet

p = 300\,kPa, T = 25\,^{\circ}C, \nu = 0.001003\,\frac{kJ}{kg}, h = 105.128\,\frac{kJ}{kg}, Subcooled liquid

<h3>Calculation of the friction loss in the system</h3>

If we know that \dot V_{in} = 0.05\,\frac{m^{3}}{s}, \nu_{in} = 0.001003\,\frac{m^{3}}{kg}, h_{in} = 104.927\,\frac{kJ}{kg}, h_{out} = 105.128\,\frac{kJ}{kg}, \eta = 0.90 and \dot W_{el} = 15\,kW, then the friction loss in the system is:

\dot W_{f} = \frac{\dot V_{in}}{\nu_{in}}\cdot (h_{in} - h_{out}) + \eta \cdot \dot W_{el}

\dot W_{f} = \left(\frac{0.05\,\frac{m^{3}}{s} }{0.001003\,\frac{m^{3}}{kg} } \right)\cdot \left(104.927\,\frac{kJ}{kg}-105.128\,\frac{kJ}{kg}\right) + (0.90)\cdot (15\,kW)

\dot W_{f} = 3.480\,kW

The friction loss in the system is 3.480 kilowatts. \blacksquare

How does automobile exhaust gases contribute to air pollution?
olga55 [171]

Answer:

The exhaust is the major source of air pollution. This is composed of completely oxidized constituents such as H2O and CO2, both of which are considered harmless. Emphasis is placed on the partially oxidized components -- nitrogen oxide, carbon monoxide, and hydrocarbons -- as being the major pollutants.

The static weight distribution is changed laterally by
VARVARA [1.3K]

The static weight distribution is changed laterally by; centrifugal force

<h3>Centrifugal Force on a vehicle</h3>

Centrifugal force is simply defined as the apparent outward force on a mass of an object when it is rotated.

An example is a ball on the end of a string that is being twirled around; the outward motion you will feel when turning around a curve with a car.

From what we have said about centrifugal force about it being the force that keeps a body in a curved path, it is clear that the turning in a fore and aft direction during acceleration or breaking is caused by centrifugal force.
