Question 12 The bathroom plumbing of a building consists of 1.5-cm-diameter copper pipes with threaded connectors, as shown in the figure below. (a) If the gage pressure at the inlet of the system is 200 kPa during a shower and the toilet reservoir is full (no flow in that branch), determine the flow rate of water through the shower head. (b) Determine the effect of flushing of the toilet on the flow rate through the shower head. Take the loss coefficients of the shower head and the reservoir to be 12 and 14, respectively. Shower head = 12 Toilet reservoir with float = 1 2 m lobe valve, 1 m Cold water fully open =1 = 2 m (2)

An air pump is used to fill a rigid gas bottle with air. The pump is connected to the gas bottle via a rigid pipe. The pump consists of a piston of internal diameter d=0.08 m and a cylinder with a stroke L=0.3m. Air enters the pump through an orifice located at the bottom of the cylinder to raise the pressure in the pump to atmospheric pressure. Air, drawn into the pump through the orifice, mixes completely and adiabatically with the cylinder contents. A valve allows the bottle's refill. The valve opens when the pump pressure is equal to the gas bottle. The valve is always closed when the pump pressure is below the gas bottle pressure. Pressure drop across the valve can be neglected. The bottle, the connecting pipe and the pump are thermally insulated. Air in the pump and connecting pipe undergoes isentropic compression and expansion processes. I F-one The working fluid (air) can be considered a perfect gas with R=287 J/KgK, cp=1005 J/KgK and y=1.4. Initially the piston is located at…
