Question

Water is pumped from a lower reservoir to a higher reservoir by a pump that provides 23 kW of useful mechanical power to the water. The free surface of the upper reservoir is 57 m higher than the surface of the lower reservoir. If the flow rate of water is measured to be 0.03 m3/s, determine the irreversible head loss of the system and the lost mechanical power during this process.

0.03 m/s 57 m 23 kW Pump

Solution

Step 1

Given;

Mechanical power by a pump, Pm=23 kW

Head difference between reservoirs, H=57 m

The flow rate of water, Q=0.03 m3/s

Step 2

Now the mass flow rate of water, m˙=ρ.A.V=ρ.Q                (Q=A.V)

Here, A is the area of the pipe and V is the velocity of the flow. ρ is the density of water=1000 kg/m3

So, 

 m˙=ρ.Q=1000×0.03m=30 kg/s

Power required to deliver water into the higher reservoir, 

P=m˙.g.HP=30×9.81×57P=16775.1 WP=16.775 kW            ( g is the acceleration due to gravity=9.81 m/s2 )

Now the lost mechanical power during this process;

 Pl=Pm-PPl=23-16.775Pl=6.225 kW

and the irreversible head loss (hf);

now, 

Pl=m˙.g.hf6.225×103=30×9.81×hfhf=21.151 m

Step 3

So the irreversible head loss, hf=21.151 m and the lost mechanical power during this process, Pl=6.225 kW

A palindrome is a number or a text phrase that reads the same backwards as forwards. For example, each of the following five-digit integers is a palindrome: 12321, 55555, 45554 and 11611. Write a C++ program that reads in a five-digit integer and determines whether it is a palindrome .

Question: A palindrome is a number or a text phrase that reads the same backwards as forwards. For example, each of the following five-digit integers is a palindrome: 12321, 55555, 45554 and 11611. Write a C++ program that reads in a five-digit integer and determines whether it is a palindrome . Answer: Step 1 PROGRAMING CODE:   #include <stdio.h> int main() {   int n, a, b, c, d, e;   int digit = 0;   printf( "Enter one 5 digit number: \n" );   scanf( "%d", &n );   a = n / 10000;   b = n / 1000 % 10;   c = n / 100 % 10;   d = n / 10 % 10;   e = n % 10;   if ( a == e && b == d ) {     printf( "Palindrome!\n" );   }   if ( a != e || b != d ) {     printf( "Not a palindrome.. :(\n" );   }   return 0; } PROGRAM SCREENSHOT: Step 2
