A pump steadily draws water at a mass flow rate at 20 lbm/s through a piping arrangement. At the pipe inlet, the pressure is 14.7 lbf/in^2, the temperature is 68 F, and the velocity is 10 ft/s. At the pipe exit, the pressure is 20 lbf/in^2, the temperature is 68 F, and the velocity is 40 ft/s. The exit is located 50 ft above the inlet. Determine the power required by the pump, in Btu/s and horsepower. (must use the conversion 32.2 lbm/ x ft/s^2 / 1lbf)

Estimate the mass flow rate of the water exiting the faucet : A water tower sits atop a residential building as shown in the figure below. A 0.3m X 0.3m patch was used to repair damage from a recent storm. Water is supplied to the building via a 0.2m diameter main that connects to a faucet in the building's cou..

Determine the mass flow rate of combustion gases : Water enters the steam generator of the power plant shown in the figure at 7MPa, 50 degrees C, and exits at 7MPa, 600 degrees C. The steam is then fed into a well-insulated turbine, developing a power output of 31.6 MW before exiting the turbine as a..

Find the actual and theoretical air-fuel ratio : Write the combustion equation for the complete combustion of methane in a furnace chamber with 200% theoretical air and 20% percent excess air. Take into account that some of the oxygen is lost to the surface wall material of the furnace. Find the ac..

Determine amount of heat transfer-mass of vapor that escapes : The rigid tank in the figure has a volume of 60 liters and initially contains a two-phase liquid vapor mixture of H2O at a pressure of 15 bars and a quality of 20%. As the tank contents are heated, a pressure-regulating valve keeps the pressure const..

Pump steadily draws water at a mass flow rate : A pump steadily draws water at a mass flow rate at 20 lbm/s through a piping arrangement. At the pipe inlet, the pressure is 14.7 lbf/in^2, the temperature is 68 F, and the velocity is 10 ft/s. At the pipe exit, the pressure is 20 lbf/in^2, the tempe..

Use tolerance limit calculation as basis for your judgment : A random sample of 12 shearing pins is taken in a study of the Rockwell hardness of the pin head. Measurements on the Rockwell hardness are made for each of the 12, yielding an average value of 48.50 with a sample standard deviation of 1.5.

Air is compressed in a reversible steady-flow system : Air is compressed in a reversible steady-flow system from 15 psia and 100?F to an exit pressure of 100 psia. The compression process is polytropic, with a polytropic exponent of n = 1.250 the air may be assigned to behave as an ideal gas with constan..

Percent increase in work input for same quantity of heat : The temperature inside a Carnot refrigerator is maintained at 5 degrees C by rejecting heat to the surrounings at an ambient temperature of 27 degrees C. The inside temperature now decreases to -13 degrees C with the ambient temperature remaining co..

What is the minimum cop acceptable for my heat pump : The heat pump for my house has 4 kW compressor motor. I wish to keep my house at 25 degrees C. My house loses energy to the cold winter night at 20 kW. What is the minimum COP acceptable for my heat pump?
