TransPipe company is going to transport a flammable liquid. It is known that this liquid is being transported in a pipe (I.D=10 m) where heat (20 kW) is added to the liquid. The specific heat and density of this liquid are given as 2.5 kJ/kg.K and 790 kg/m², respectively. The volume flow rate of the liquid that is necessary to keep the liquid temperature below its flashpoint (16 °C) is to be determined. Assume steady operating conditions exist and fluid properties are constant. Determine: (1) the minimum volume flow rate of the liquid to maintain the liquid in the pipe well below its flashpoint. (2) If the company wants to reduce the minimum volume flow rate below your calculated minimum volume flow rate, what can they retrofit? You as an engineer, give them one suggestion (less than 20 words).

At atmospheric pressure (100 kPa), the blood of a bilaterally inverted snerg blat has a specific volume of 0.1917 m3/kg and a specific internal energy of 212.18 kJ/kg. What is the specific enthalpy of its blood in kJ/kg
Two electric pumps are being used to pump water to a cistern at the top of a 50 meter hill. A meter is used to measure the electrical energy in kWh consumed by both pumps over a six-hour period. Both pumps consume the same kWh of electrical energy over the pumping period. If we know that pump #1 has an efficiency of 40% and pump #2 has an efficiency of 80%, what can we say about the volume of water moved by each pump? Assume both pumps use the same piping system, so hydraulic frictional losses are the same for both pumps. pump #1 moved twice as much water as pump #2 pump #2 moved twice as much water as pump #1 both pumps moved the same amount of water

A refrigerator has a coefficient of performance of 2.50, requires 150 W of electrical power to operate, and maintains a temperature of -4.00 °C within its interior compartment. How long would it take to cool a dozen 1.00 L of water in a plastic wrapper from 33.0 °C to -4.00 °C in this refrigerator? Any heat escaping the plastic should be ignored. Remember that 1.00 g/cm3 is the density of water.
