Question list ✔Question 6 K During processing, a polymer is pumped through the plant. The pump must produce enough power to move the material a height of 10 meters [m] at a volumetric flowrate of 0.2 cubic meters per second [m³/s]. Assume the specific gravity of the polymer is 0.6262. If the pump is 75% efficient, what is the power rating on the pump (input power) to supply the necessary potential energy in units of horsepower [hp]?

A gas is in a container of volume V0 at pressure P0. It is being pumped out of the container by a piston pump. Each stroke of the piston removes a volume Vs through valve A and then pushes the air out through valve B as shown in Figure P19.74. Derive an expression that relates the pressure Pn of the remaining gas to the number of strokes n that have been applied to the container. FIGURE P19.74

. A booster pump on a brake system designed to be used horizontally consists of two cylinders capped by pistons connected by a hose. The cylinders and hose are filled with an incompressible fluid. The system produces a mechanical advantage of five times; that is, the output force is five times as great as the input force. If the cross-sectional area of the input piston is 4.0 in.2, how large must the area of the output piston be?
