(A)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The minimum pump work done to move 1 kg of water into tower

Concept Introduction:

The expression to calculate the height of the tower.

V=π4D2×H

Here, height of tower is H, diameter of tower is D, and volume of the water in the tower is V.

The expression to calculate the work done.

W=F×d=ma×d

Here, force is F, distance is d, mass is m, and acceleration is a.

(B)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The minimum pump work done to move 1 kg of water into tower

Concept Introduction:

The expression to calculate the work done.

W=F×d=ma×d

Here, force is F, distance is d, mass is m, and acceleration is a.

(C)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The maximum velocity the water can have is

Concept Introduction:

The steady state energy balance equation for steam around the cylinder.

ddt{M(U^+v22+gh)}=m˙in(H^in+vin22+ghin)m˙out(H^out+vout22+ghout)+W˙S+W˙EC+Q˙

Here, mass flow rate for inlet and outlet is m˙in and m˙out, specific enthalpies of inlet and outlet is H^i and H^out, heights at which streams enters and leave the system is hin and hout, time taken is t, mass of the system is M, specific internal energy is U^, velocity is v, height is h, acceleration due to gravity is g, rate at which work is added to the system is W˙EC, rate of shaft work is W˙S, and the rate of heat addition to the system is Q˙.

(D)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The maximum velocity the water can have is

Concept Introduction:

Write the steady state energy balance equation for steam around the cylinder.

ddt{M(U^+v22+gh)}=m˙in(H^in+vin22+ghin)m˙out(H^out+vout22+ghout)+W˙S+W˙EC+Q˙

Here, mass flow rate for inlet and outlet is m˙in and m˙out, specific enthalpies of inlet and outlet is H^i and H^out, heights at which streams enters and leave the system is hin and hout, time taken is t, mass of the system is M, specific internal energy is U^, velocity is v, height is h, acceleration due to gravity is g, rate at which work is added to the system is W˙EC, rate of shaft work is W˙S, and the rate of heat addition to the system is Q˙.
