A plugged dishwasher sink with the dimensions of 15 in. ✕ 19 in. ✕ 9 in. is being filled with water from a faucet with an inner diameter of 1 in. It takes 210 seconds to fill the sink to its rim. Imagine the plug of the sink leaks. If it now takes 230 seconds to fill the sink to its rim, estimate the mass-flow rate of the leak (in lbm/s).
lbm/s
A home hot water heater contains 40 gal of water. Because of a failure of the heat control, heat is continuously applied to the water in the tank, increasing the temperature and pressure. Unfortunately, the relief valve is clogged and the pressure rises past the maximum pressure of the vessel. At 250 psig the tank ruptures. Estimate the quantity of water flashed
