Use moody's diagram/ Reynolds number to solve. Water at 80°F flows from a storage tank through 550 feet of 6-inch nominal size cast iron pipe (actual ID = 6.52 inches).
What are positive displacement pumps? Can these pumps be blocked in and overpressure the piping or a vessel? What if control valves stick closed? What if the control system on the PD pumps fails? Ho

An electric motor of mass 75 kg and speed 1200 rpm is mounted at the free end of a cantilevered steel beam of length 5 m, width 0.5 m and thickness of 0.1 m.
The ball of mass m is guided along the vertical circular path r = 2rc cos(theta) using the arm OA. If the arm has a constant angular velocity thetadot0 , determine the angle theta (less than or equa
A closed steel bottle contains carbon dioxide at -20C, x=20% and the volume is 0.05m^3. It has a safety valve that opens at a pressure of 6 MPa. By accident, the bottle is heated until the safety va
A boiler is designed to convert water at 1MPa, 50 degree C to a superheated vapor at 1MPa, 500 degree C (a) Determine the amount of heat transferred to water if the mass flow rate of water is 2 kg/
Water at 25 degrees C enters a heat exchanger at 0.1 kg/s and exits at 50 degrees C. Kerosene enters the other side of the exchanger at 100 degree C at a rate of 0.1L/s.
A steam turbine operating at steady state has water entering at 3MPa, 500 degrees C and velocity of 10m/s The water exits at 800 KPa, 250 degrees C and 100 m/s.
The average speed in the discharge pipe is 3 m/s. If the pump efficiency is 75 %, determine the power required to drive it.
A nitrogen line, 300 K and 0.5 Mpa, shown in the figure, is connected to a turbine that exhausts to a closed initially empty tank of 50m3. The turbine operates to a tank pressure of 0.5 Mpa, at whic
At a certain instant, a valve is opened and mass flows from the bottle at ?m/?t = 0.105 lbm/s. Find the rate of change of temperature in the bottle at this instant.
