### Water Pump System Analysis#### Problem StatementThe 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 absolute pressures at the inlet and outlet of the pump are measured to be 100 kPa and 300 kPa, respectively, determine:(a) the mechanical efficiency of the pump(b) the temperature rise of water as it flows through the pump due to mechanical inefficiencies.#### Diagram ExplanationThe diagram on the right illustrates a water distribution system. Key components and data are:1. **Inlet and Outlet:** - Inlet Pressure: 100 kPa - Outlet Pressure: 300 kPa2. **Water Flow Rate:** - Flow Rate: 50 L/s3. **Pump Motor:** - Power: 15 kW - Efficiency: 90%4. **Water Flow Path:** - Water enters the pump at the bottom (inlet, 100 kPa) and is discharged at the top (outlet, 300 kPa). Both inlets and outlets have the same pipe diameter. - The pump is driven by the motor, which transfers power (\(\dot{W}_{pump}\)) to the water.#### Detailed Steps:(a) **Mechanical Efficiency of the Pump:** - Calculate the actual power delivered to the water and compare it to the power supplied by the motor.(b) **Temperature Rise of Water:** - Calculate the energy losses due to mechanical inefficiencies and determine the consequent temperature rise of the water.Use the diagram and given data for precise calculations and step-by-step analysis in determining the pump's efficiency and the temperature rise.

A site is being considered for wind power generation. At this site, the wind blows steadily at 9 m/s for 2,579 hours per year. Assuming the wind velocity is negligible at other times for simplicity, determine the kWh/year that can be produced at the site for a turbine with a mechanical efficiency of 100% and an effective flow area of 5 m2. Use a value of 1.25 kg/m3 for the density of the air. Give your answer in killowatt-hours per year (kWh/year). Hint: I reccomend starting by finding the kinetic energy (kJ/kg) of the wind. Hint 2: Multiply the power generation (kW) by the number of hours of wind per year (h/year) to get kWh/year.
Consider a river flowing toward a lake at an average velocity of 3 m/s at a rate of 500 m3 /s at a location 90 m above the lake surface. Determine the total mechanical energy of the river water per unit mass and the power generation potential of the entire river at that location.
The water level in a tank is 20 m above the ground. A hose is connected to the bottom of the tank, and the nozzle at the end of the hose is pointed straight up. The tank cover is airtight, and the air pressure above the water surface is 2 atm gage. The system is at sea level. Determine the maximum height to which the water stream could rise.
An oil-transfer pump uses 1 kW of power in transferring 5 kg/s of oil through a 3-cm-diameter pipe. The changes in kinetic and potential energies are essentially zero, and the process is adiabatic. Additionally, there is no appreciable temperature change in the oil, which has a density of 1500 kg/m³. Determine the change in pressure from inlet to exit.
A pump rated at 1800 W is used to transfer water from an open tank to another open tank. The surfaces of the two tanks are kept 20 m apart, vertically, while the mass flow of the water is 5 kg/s. Determine the efficiency of the pump
A fan is to be selected to ventilate a bathroom whose dimensions are 2 m × 3 m × 3 m. The air velocity is not to exceed 7 m/s to minimize vibration and noise. The combined efficiency of the fan–motor unit to be used can be taken to be 50 percent. If the fan is to replace the entire volume of air in 15 min, determine (a) the wattage of the fan–motor unit to be purchased, (b) the diameter of the fan casing, and (c) the pressure difference across the fan. Take the air density to be 1.25 kg/m3 and disregard the effect of the kinetic energy correction factors.
