Water is pumped from a lower chamber to a higher chamber by a pump driven by a 55 kW electric motor with an efficiency of 85%. The free surface of the upper chamber (open surface to the atmosphere) is 75 m higher than the free surface of the chamber below. The free surface velocities are negligible. The magnitude of the gravitational acceleration is given as 9.81 m/s^2. Since the mass flow rate of the water is 50 kg/s, calculate the mechanical power loss in kW during the upward transfer of the water. 1.665 9.96 18.21 3.21 12.45 5.70

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.
Two parallel shafts whose centers are 10 meters apart are connected by an open belt drive with a V-belt with a groove angle of 30°. The diameter of the larger pulley is 1000 mm and that of the smaller pulley is 400 mm. The smaller pulley is running at 1000 rpm to deliver 10 kW of power. The mass of the belt is 1 kg/m. Taking centrifugal tension into account, determine the minimal cross-sectional area if the allowable tensile stress of the belt is 5 MPa. The coefficient of friction between the belt and the pulleys is 0.25.

A wind turbine has a blade length of 20 m. In a given day, average speed of wind for 4 hours is 7 m/s, average speed of wind for another 10 hours is 9 m/s and wind speed is not sufficient to rotate wind turbine for remaining time in a day. Take Air density p = 1.23 kg/m. Determine the following: a) Maximum possible power output of wind turbine for 4 hours ( b) Maximum possible power output of wind turbine for 8 hours c) Maximum possible energy output of turbine in a given day
A slingshot, which can be modeled as a spring with spring constant k = 81.9 N/m, is stretched by 22 cm with respect to its equilibrium position and used to shoot a rock with mass 0.09 kg straight up into the air. Find the speed of the rock (in m/s) when it reaches a height which is 25% of its maximum height (relative to the position at which it was shot from). Use g = 9.81 m/s?. Hint: First find the maximum height, and then find the speed when the height is 25% of that.
