The design fluid (typically water and antifreeze) flow rate through a solar hot-water heater system is (1 L/s) m ⁄m2 . If a system runs continuously for 3 hours and makes use of two solar panels (each 2 m×4 m) , what is the total volume of the fluid that goes through the collector during this period? Express your answer in liters and m3 .

Problem 6: Energy Equation Demonstration Recently we saw a laboratory apparatus demonstrate several aspects of the energy equation. As you will recall, the cross-sectional area of the pipe varied from a maximum of 4.909×104 m² at point A to 7.854x105 m² at point E (factor of 6.25 difference): 76.08 BCDE SLOB 74 35 5.0 Part A What is the smallest velocity at Point E (VE) that will cause cavitation? T = 20°C, and you may assume the pressure at Point A (PA) is one Denver atmosphere, so PA = Patm = 85 kPa. Neglect the piezometer connections - assume they do not exist. [m/s] Part B In reality, of course, we do have piezometer connections at points A-F. What happens in the real apparatus when the discharge equals the result from Part A? (≤25 words)
If local atmospheric pressure is 755 mm of mercury, calculate (i) the absolute pressure of air in the tank, and (ii) pressure reading at A (Figure 3).
Water flows from a hose bib at a rate of 15.8 gallons per minute. What is the rate in liters per second? (1 gallon = 3.785412 liters)
A tank contains 49 gallons of a solution composed of 85% water and 15% alcohol. A second solution containing half water and half alcohol is added to the tank at the rate of 4 gallons per minutes. At the same time, the tank is being drained at the same rate. Assuming that the solution is stirred constantly, how much alcohol will be in tank after 10minutes?
A centrifugal pump is driven by a motor. The performance of the pump reveals the following information:Power input to the pump by the motor (kW):0.5, 0.7, 0.9, 1.0, 1.2Power input to the fluid by the pump (kW):0.3, 0.55, 0.7, 0.9, 1.0Plot the efficiency curve. The efficiency of a pump is a function of the flow rate. Assume that the flow-rate readings corresponding to power data points are equally spaced.
Water flows from a reservoir through a pipeline as shown in the following diagram. The flow is considered frictionless and discharges freely at point C. (a) What is the total head (total specific energy) at point A? (b) What is the total head (total specific energy) at point B? (c) What is the discharge velocity at point C? A 150' (45.7 m) B
A heat pump supplies heat energy to a house at the rate of 140,000 kJ/h when the house is maintained at 25°C. Over a period of one month, the heat pump operates for 100 hours to transfer energy from a heat source outside the house to inside the house. Consider a heat pump receiving heat from two different outside energy sources. In one application the heat pump receives heat from the outside air at 0°C. In a second application the heat pump receives heat from a lake having a water temperature of 10°C. If electricity costs $0.105/kWh, determine the maximum money saved by using the lake water rather than the outside air as the outside energy source.
Copper tubing 0.500 in. in I.D. (inside diameter) is 13.0 ft long. What is the volume of the refrigerant contained in the tubing (in inches cubed)?
A tank is shaped like a vertical cylinder; it initially contains water to a depth of 9 ft, and a bottom plug is removed at time t = 0 (hours). After 1 h the depth of the water has dropped to 4 ft. How long does it take for all the water to drain from the tank? 3 hours O2 hours 6 hours 5 hours
