A dam is shaped like a parabola (y = x^2) and has a height of 150 meters. The water's density is 1000kg/m3.
Pt 1. FInd the total energy stored by this dam.
Pt 2. If fourty-percent of the total energy from the dam was consumed, what would be the water level's new hight?
Pt 3. If a city was using this dam for its energy and consumed 12 x 107 MW of power, how much time would it take for the level of the dam to drop down to the height in part 2?
A column with an internal diameter of 50 cm and a height of 2 m is packed with spherical particles 3 mm in diameter so as to form a packed bed with ω= 0.45. Estimate the power required to pump a Newtonian liquid (μ = 70 × 10−3 kg/m·s; ρ = 1200 kg/m3) through the packed bed at a mass flow rate of 1.2 kg/s.
