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?
A piston/cylinder setup contains 1 kg of water at 150 kPa, 20-C. 3000 kJ of heat is added from a 600-C source until the water is at 1 MPa, 500.C. Find the total change in entropy, in kJ/K. Add a negative sign (-) in your numerical answer should you get a negative answer.
Thermodynamics Compare the compressor work input required to compress water isentropically from 100 kPa to 1 MPa, assuming that the water exists as (a) saturated liquid and (b) saturated vapor at the inlet state.
2. A pump delivers 4 m3/min of water from 110 kPa to 350 kPa. Both pipe's gages are on the same level. The inlet and outlet pipe diameters are 16 cm and 13 cm, respectively. The inlet and outlet temperature are both 25°C and mass density of water is 997 kg/m². Calculate the pump work in kW.
A piston-cylinder contains 0.1 kg of water at 1000 kPa and 500 o C. The water is now cooled with a constant force on the piston until it reaches half the initial volume. After it cools to 25 oC while the piston is against the stops. Find the final water pressure (in kPa) and the work in the overall process (in kJ).
(5 pts) A pump is pumping water from a lake to the top of a mountain through a constant- diameter pipe. Water exits the pipe at a volumetric flow rate of 0.04 m/s. The vertical distance between the lake surface and the pipe exit at the top of the mountain is 100 m. The diameter of the pipe is 10 cm. All mechanical energy losses are negligible and the flow is steady and incompressible. (Water density-I g/cm, ?-I.) Determine a)...

In a steam power plant, water is pressurized in an adiabatic pump from 100kPa as a saturated liquid to 5 MPa at 150C. The pump is directly driven by an adiabatic steam turbine, which also powers a generator. Steam enters the steam turbine at 5 MPa and 450C and leaves as saturated vapor at 100kPa.
