The pumping system shown below is supposed to provide at least 250 GPM of water to the drinking trough. The outlet of the drawn tubing at the drinking water trough discharges to the atmosphere as a water jet. The outlet of the pipe is approximately 12 ft higher than the water surface of reservoir. Expected water temperature is 70ᵒF. Your objective is to select a pump and check its performance for the specified system. Your tasks include: 1. Determine total dynamic head (TDH) operating against the pump for the design flow rate. Neglect minor losses. Note that H-W is not appropriate for this water temperature, and you need to use D-W. 2. Use the TDH and Qdesign to approach a pump vendor. She provides you the attached four pump performance curves for your consideration. 3. Select the appropriate pump based on the fit of the selection point on the pump performance curves. 4. Develop the system curve. 5. Determine the pump operating point and record the system operating conditions…
$$ 5.1 Assume that you are observing traffic in a single lane of a highway at a specific location. You measure the average headway and average spacing of passing vehicles as 3.2 seconds and 165 ft, respectively. Calculate the flow, average speed, and density of the traffic stream in this lane. 5.2 Assume that you are an observer standing at a point along a three-lane roadway. All vehicles in lane 1 are traveling at 30 mi/h, all vehicles in lane 2 are traveling at 45 mi/h, and all vehicles in lane 3 are traveling at 60 mi/h. There is also a constant spacing of 0.5 mile between vehicles. If you collect spot speed data for all vehicles as they cross your observation point, for 30 minutes, what will be the time-mean speed and space-mean speed for this traffic stream?
Determine the direction of F2 such that the resultant force of adding F1 and F2 acts along the positive yaxis.
