A water pump increases the water pressure from 10psia to 50psia. On your procedure sheet, check that the power required to pump 1.2 ft^3/s of water is 12.6 HP when the water is at 25°C. If the water enters the pump at 50°C, the power needed to pump the same amount of water will be less.
In regards to HVAC systems, what are some ways of improving indoor living comfort through the use of green technology?
What is the function of the empty pipes that connect from the sanitary/drainage pipes up through the roof of a building?

- Next time you are putting gasoline in your car, determine the volumetric flow rate of the gasoline at the pumping station. Record the time that it takes to pump a known volume of gasoline into your car’s gas tank. The flow meter at the pump will give you the volume in liters, so all you have to do is to measure the time. Investigate the size of the storage tanks in your neighbourhood gas station. Estimate how often the storage tank needs to be refilled. State your assumptions.arrow_forwardInstruction: Show your solution. (Engineering Utilities 2) Problem: A compressor draws in 500 cubic feet per minute of air whose density is 0.079 pounds per cubic feet and discharges it with a density of 0.304 pounds per cubic feet. At the suction, pressure # 1 = 15 pounds per square inches and at the discharge, pressure # 2 = 80 pounds per square inches. The increase in internal energy is 33.8 Btu per pound of air, and the heat rejected from air by cooling is 13 Btu per pound of air. Determine the work done on the air in Btu per minute and in horsepower. (1Btu = 778.16 ft-lbf; 1hp = 42.4 Btu/min)arrow_forwardWhat are the components of a pumping system?arrow_forward

The suction vacuum gauge located 10 inches below the pump centerline reads 125 mm Hg. The discharge gauge, which is 20 inches above the pump centerline, reads 12 psi. Determine the pump power if the pump efficiency is 79 %. 1.3 A pipe discharges 142 lps of water into a reservoir at a point 1.85 m below the water surface. At point A the diameter is 25.4 cm and the center of the pipe is 1.25 m above the water surface. At the discharge end the pipe is 30.5 cm. If the head loss from A to the reservoir is 0.7 m, determine the pressure in A.arrow_forward
