A 4-kW pump operating at steady state draws in liquid water at 100 kPa, 15?C with a mass flow rate of 4.5 kg/s and delivers water at 1 MPa pressure. Ignore the kinetic and potential energy changes from inlet to exit. Determine (a) the isentropic efficiency of the pump and (b) whether the power input rating is adequate
A pump increases the water pressure from 100 kPa at the inlet to 900 kPa at the outlet. Water enters this pump at 15 degree C through a 1-cm-diameter opening and exits through a 1.5-cm-diameter opening. Determine the velocity of the water at the inlet and outlet when the mass flow rate through the pump is 0.5 kg/s. Will these velocities change significantly if the inlet temperature is raised to 40 degree C?

Liquid water flows steadily through a work producing device with a mass flow rate of 100 kg/s. At the inlet the conditions are: p1=1000 kPa, T1=25 deg-C, Vel1 = 30 m/s. At the exit, p2=100 kPa, u2= u1 (specific internal energy remains constant), and Vel2 = 20 m/s. Assume no heat transfer, no change in elevation between the inlet and exit, and density of water to be 1000 kg/m3. (a). Determine the power produced (w/o neglecting the effect of change...
Liquid water enters a feedwater heater at inlet 1 with inlet condition ls 15 mpa, 40celcius at 60kg/s. Another stream of water in saturated mixture enters the heater at inlet 2 at temperature of 175 celcius. The heater operates at steady state and heat transfer to surrounding can be neglected. At exit 3, saturated liquid flows out at 275 kpa. Select two different values of mixture quality at inlet 2 between 0.5 and 0.8, and subsequently plot the mass flow...
Air enters a turbine in steady flow at 600 kPa, 740 K, and 120 m/s. The exit conditions are 100 kPa, 450 K, and 220 m/s. A heat loss of 15 kJ/kg occurs, and the inlet area is 4.91 cm2 .
