Conservation of Energy

In physics, the rule of the conservation of energy states that energy doesn’t disappear from the atmosphere; instead, it changes its form from one type to another. Energy is one of the most important physical quantities in nature, and it cannot be create…

QUESTION 1 A jet of freshwater strikes a series of vanes of a turbine at 25° with the direction of motion and leaves it at 150° absolute with the direction of motion. The absolute inlet velocity of the jet is 25 m/s and the vanes move at a velocity of 10 m/s. Ignore friction across the vanes. Calculate: 1.1 the vane inlet angle. 1.2 the vane outlet angle. 1.3 the power/kg of water and, 1.4 the hydraulic efficiency. QUESTION 2 A pipeline of 50 mm diameter and 4.5 km length connects two reservoirs whose constant difference of water level is 12 m. A branch pipe 1.25 km long and taken from a point distance of 1.5 km from reservoir A, leads to reservoir C whose water level is 15 m below that of reservoir A. Find the diameter of the branch pipe so that the flow into both the reservoirs is the same. Assume the coefficient of friction for each pipe, f = 0.0075, and neglect minor losses. QUESTION 3 The plunger diameter of a single-acting reciprocating pump is 115 mm and the stroke is 230 mm.…

3. Calculate the speed ratio, S, for a satellite moving at 8 km/s, assuming that the ambient atmospheric species is 79 % molecular nitrogen, 21 % O2, and the temperature of the gas is 300 K. Re-do the calculation for a gas temperature of 3,000 K.

An airplane approaches at an altitude of 10 km flying at 600 km/hr. 1. What would you hear, and when would you hear it, if the plane were "hypersonic", traveling three times the speed of sound, or "Mach 3"? That's approximately the fastest military aircraft in routine service today. note: To have higher speeds in the air takes considerably more energy. For example, after two and half minutes of flight, when the first-stage main engines of the Space X Falcon shut down, it is 80 kilometers high and moving at Mach 10 on its way to Earth orbit. The Mach number depends on the temperature of the air.
