Old-time fire engines sometimes relied on steam power to direct the water to the desired target. in effect, a steam heated boiler was used to supply pressurized water (at 8 bar absolute) to a hose, which was then used to direct water to the base of the flames.1) estimate the height the water can reach. report your answer in m. 2) would this height remain constant during the boiling process? justify your answer with a one-paragraph physical explanation. 3) would the height of water inside the boiler have much of an impact on your answers to the two previous questions? provide quantitative support for your answers.

Liquid flows at steady state at a rate of 2 lb/'s through a pump, which operates to raise the elevation of the liquid 100 ft from control volume inlet to exit. the liquid specific enthalpy at the inlet is 40.09 btu/lb and at the exit is 40.94 btub. the pump requires 3 btu/s of power to operate. if kinetic energy effects are negligible and gravitational acceleration is 32.174 tt/s, the heat transfer rate associated with this steady state process is most closely 1)-2,02 btu/s from the liquid to the surroundings 2)-3.98 btu/s from the surroundings to the liquid. 3)-4.96 btu/s from the surroundings to the liquid. 4)-1.04 btu/s from the liquid to the surroundings.

An electrical kettle is made out of stainless steel,weighs two pounds (when empty) with a heating element that consumes 2 kw of electricity. assuming that the water and the kettle are at the same uniform temperature at any moment of time, calculate the shortest possible time to bring 2 quarts of water from room temperature to the onset of boiling.

Asimply supported beam abc of length l has ab of length hl and second moment of area / and bc of length hl and second moment of area i2. determine the strain energy stored in the beam when it is subject to a vertical load f at its midpoint and the consequential central deflection.
