3. The pump of a water distribution system is powered by a 15 kW electric motor whose efficiency is 90%. The water flow rate through the pump is 50 L/s. The diameters of the inlet and outlet pipes are the same and the elevation difference across the pump is negligible. If the pressures at the inlet and outlet of the pump are measured to be 100 kPa and 300 kPa respectively. Determine the following: a.) efficiency of the pump b.) determine the temperature rise of water as it flows through the pump due to the mechanical inefficiency.

A hydroelectric plant gets water from a dam at the rate of 100 cubic meters per minute to generate an output of 12,262.5 KW. If the overall efficiency of the plant is 75%, what is the head of the water in the dam?
Which of the following is incorrect about the overall energy balance and mechanical energy balance in fluid flow phenomena?A. The former only accounts the first law of thermodynamics while the latter includes the second.B. The former only accounts the work brought by changes in the volume while the latter includes the Δ(PV) work.C. The enthalpy of the system for both balance is the sum of the changes in the internal energy and the reversible work at constant pressure.D. The former is not often used to evaluate a system with changing pressure unlike the latter.

The capacity of a certain pump is 5251 gallons per hour with a capacity of 68.54%. A city uses this pump to extract water from a water supply from a body of water where in the intake is 10.2 ft below the surface of the body of water. A 3-in S40 is used to transfer the water through a pipe with a total length of 8848 ft having a total friction loss of 222.7 (ft-lbf)/lbm. Given that the cost electrical power is 14.7 cents/kWh, what is the hourly pumping cost in cents per hour? Note that in this problem, the inlet to the pump is 35.7 ft above the surface of the body of water while the water level in the tank discharge is always 380 ft above the pump discharge Answer options: 700 557 1175 685 226
A tank initially contained 500 kg of nitrogen. The tank has 4 valves connected to it. 20 kg of nitrogen entered the tank though valve 1, 70 kg of nitrogen left the tank through valve 2, 125 kg of nitrogen entered the tank through valve 3, and 200 kg of nitrogen left the tank through valve 4. The final mass of nitrogen in the tank in kg is
