A four-stage boiler feed pump has suction and discharge lines of 10 cm and 7.5 cm inside diameter. At 3500 rpm, the pump is rated at 0.025 m3/s against a head of 125 m while handling water at 115°C. The inlet pressure gage, located 50 cm below the impeller centerline, reads 150 kPa. The pump is to be factory certified by tests at the same flow rate, head rise, and speed, but using water at 27°C. Calculate the NPSHA at the pump inlet in the field installation. Evaluate the suction head that must be used in the factory test to duplicate field suction conditions.

- subject: combustion please include complete solution, no rounding off, with diagram/explanation etc. In a joule cycle, intake of the compressor is 40,000 cfm at 0.3 psig and 90 deg F. The compression ratio is 6.0 and the inlet temperature at the turbine portion is 1900R while at the exit, it is 15 psi. Calculate for the back work ratio in percent.arrow_forwardsubject: combustion please include complete solution, no rounding off, with diagram/explanation etc. A gasoline engine, utilizing cold air, recorded a work of 431 BTU/lb at a maximum temperature of 3,273 K and 1112 deg F temperature at the beginning of constant volume heat addition.

Air enters the compressor at 101,320 Pascals, 305.15K, and leaves at a pressure of 0.808MPa. The air is heated to 990.15K in the combustion chamber. For a net output of 2,125,000 Watts, find the rate of flow of air per second.arrow_forward

Two links made of heat treated 6061 aluminum (Sy = 276 MPa, Sys = 160 MPa) are pinned together using a steel dowel pin (Sy = 1398 MPa, Sys = 806 MPa) as shown below. The links are to support a load P with a factor of safety of at least 2.0. Determine if the link will fail first by tearout, direct shear of the pin, bearing stress on the link, or tensile stress at section AA.
