- Argon enters a steady-state throttle valve ata pressure of 300kPaand a specific volume of 0.55m*/kg. What is the exit temperature if the exit pressure is 100kPa Report your answer using units of Kelvin and to three significant digits. Do not round numbers used in your computation. Only round the final numericanswer,arrow_forwardKindly answer correctly. PPlease show the necessary stepsarrow_forward(b) A pitot-static probe is use to determine the flow velocity by measuring the differential pressure. The pitot formula to obtain the flow velocity is, 2(P- P,) V = where, V is the velocity, P is pressure and pis fluid density. i) The pressure difference sensor use in the system is electronic types and the output of the device is measured in voltage. The output of the pressure device is 3.5 V and the linear relationship between the device and the pressure difference is 10 kPa/V. If the measured fluid is water at 20°C, determine the pressure difference inside the system the water velocity. ii) The Pitot-static tube is also commonly use in aircraft. An aircraft flying at 3000 m above sea level when the differential pressure reading clocked 3 kPa. Determine the speed of the aircraft.arrow_forward
- Describe the methodology for obtaining the pump curve in a project, where data are collected at five points with different pressures in the pump (10 psi, 15 psi, 20 psi, 25 psi and 30 psi), where to find these flow rates Q a 1000 ml bottle is used and the time required to fill it is timed, for each of the pump's five pressure points. The gauge pressure H in meters of water column reached must also be observed in order to construct the HxQ graph of the pump. This entire process is carried out for three different types of piping systems, each with its characteristic pressure drops.arrow_forwardNeed help with the calculations i keep getting lost in the conversionsarrow_forward'p' (liquid density) 'A' (tank cross sectional area) 'Qin' (Input Flow Rate) Qout' P Figure 1 'h' (head of liquid) 'R' (restriction coefficient) 5marrow_forward
