In Fig. 2, water circulates through a piping system, servicing various household needs. Considering the water heater as a system, identify locations on the system boundary where the system interacts with its surroundings and describe significant occurrences within the system. Repeat same for the dishwasher and for the shower.

Suppose that you have designed a portable compressed-air supply system, as shown in the figure below,for filling scuba tanks and for driving pneumatics tools in garages and factories.The system consists of an electric motor, an air compressor, an air tank, a regulator and a pressure-reliefsafety valve.The regulator contains a pressure sensor connected to a power switch. The motor is switched on whenthe tank pressure drops bellow a fixed value and off at a slightly higher pressure. The pressure-reliefvalve is set to open at a higher pressure than the regulator motor off-pressure.Explosion of the tank is clearly a dangerous hazard. Three events are assumed to possibly lead to a tankexplosion:1. an internal tank defect such as poor welding2. an external cause such as a plant vehicle colliding with the tank3. Excess pressure in the tank. The excess pressure can occur only if both the control unit and thepressure-relief valve fail:The pressure sensor might fail to shut oof the motor because…
Q.1. A refrigeration process with interstage cooling uses refrigerant HFC-134a, and the outlet of the condenser is to be saturated liquid at 40°C. Refer to the following figure for stream numbers in your solution. The pressure of the flash chamber and the intermediate pressure between compressors is to be 290 kPa. The evaporator is to operate at -20°C and the outlet is to be saturated vapor. The flowrate of stream 1 is 23 kg/h. The flash chamber may be considered adiabatic. The compressors may be considered to be 80% efficient. a) What is the power input required to the first compressor? b) What are the flowrates of streams 6 and 7? What is the enthalpy of stream 4?

The brewing process involves 4 steps. Boiling, Fermenting, Filtering and Kegging. The batch size is 100 gallons for the boil and fermentation tanks. Process times for the different steps are Boiling: 8 hours/100 gal, Fermenting: 15 days/100 gal, Filtering: 10 gal/hour, Kegging 10 min/5 gal. In order to improve the productivity they decide to introduce a holding tank between the fermentation and filtration steps. They are able to drain the fermentation tank at a rate of 30 gal/hour. Ferment WIP Keg Boil Filter What is the minimum WIP tank size they need? (Round your answer to the nearest 10 gallons) Assume 24 hours/day
As an environmental engineer working for a consulting company you were asked to evaluate an existing water treatment plant for possible upgrade. One of the treatment unit processes you evaluated was the rapid mix tank. You had the following information. 2. Current average water flow rate 15 x 10' m'/d. Projected flow rate in 20 years 24 x 10' m'/d. Temperature of water varies from 12 to 20° C. No. of rapid mix tank = 1 Dimension of tank: water depth 2.1 m, width 2.1 m, length 2.1 m Tank is not baffled: Mixer is 4-bladed turbine with 45° pitched blade (N, = 1.27) Diameter of impeller 0.9 m Label on the motor: horsepower of motor 10 hp (1 hp 746 watts) rpm of blades = 120 rpm (assume a motor efficiency of 80%) Evaluate whether the rapid mix system (1) Is sufficiently designed for current use? If not, provide some remedies. (i) Will the current system be sufficient for the projected flow rate in 20 years? If not, what are some of your suggestions or additions to meet the projected flow?
4. As illustrated in the figure steam flows through a valve and turbine in series. The turbine drives an electric generator. Considering the valve and turbine as a system, identify locations on the system boundary where the system interacts with its surroundings and describe events occurring within the system. Repeat for an enlarged system that includes the generator. Steam Turbine Generator Valve Steam
You are replacing an HVAC system in your building. The system is a hot water system that consists of a boiler that feeds several air-handling units. The total heating load for the building is 2649 thousand Btuh. The max pressure required to pump through the furthest air-handling unit is 69 ft in total head. The inlet temperature at the air-handler is 196 F and the inlet-outlet temperature difference is 30 F. What is the required total flow rate

FLUID MECH Support your answer with the appropriate solution and diagram. 4. The water level in a tank is 20 m above the ground. A hose is connected to the bottom of the tank, and the nozzle at the end of the hose is pointed straight up. The tank is at sea level, and the water surface is open to the atmosphere. In the line leading from the tank to the nozzle is a pump, which increases the pressure of water. if the water jet rises to a height of 27 m from the ground, determine the minimum pressure rise in kPa supplied by the pump to the water line.

Hi guys, Data assumption coal boiler operation : Steam consumption = 300 kg steam/shift, coal price per kg = $0.5, coal calorie = 6300 Kcal/kg. Questions: 1. how to calculate cost ($) steam per shift ? 2. how to calculate steam calorie per shift ? Thanks
A liquid reactant solution is pumped through a pre-heater before entering a reaction vessel. The solution enters the pre-heater at 25 °C and must enter the reactor at 45 °C. The flow of the reactant solution is 1500 mL per minute. The density of the reactant solution is 0.91 g-cm3 and the heat capacity is 1.75 Jg1.K1. ASsume there is no heat loss in the pre-heater or between the pre-heater and the reactor. a. Draw a schematic of the pre-heater, detailing all mass and energy flows. b. Clearly define a system boundary. c. Write the general energy balance, and a simplified energy balance stating all assumptions that apply to this problem. d. What is the minimum power rating required for the pre-heater?
