. What horsepower is supplied to air moving at 7m/min through a 70cmx90cm duct under a pressure of8cm of H2O?
Question 7. Since the velocity of the fluid passing through the 4 mm diameter pneumatic pipe in the pneumatic system is 200 cm/s;
a) What is the flow rate of the compressed air in lt/min?
b) Calculate the velocity of the air passing through 6 mm diameter in the same pressure line.
The volume flow rate of water that recirculates from the blade outlet to the impeller is estimated to be 0.4524 ft^3/min, and the losses through the shaft sealing is negligible. The hydraulic and mechanical efficiency of a centrifugal pump are 95% and 93%, respectively. If the pump delivers water a flow rate of 12 ft^3/min, calculate the pump efficiency in %.
