3/96 The motor unit A is used to elevate the 300‐kg cylinder at a constant rate of 2 m/s. If the power meter B registers an electrical input of 2.20 kW, calculate the combined electrical and mechanical efficiency e of the system

Amixture of slurry and mud is to be pumped through a horizontal pipe of diameter 500 mm. the fluid behaves as a bingham plastic with a yield stress of 30 pa and viscosity 0.04 pa.s. describe the effects of the shear stress through a transverse section of the pipe by plotting the variation in shear stress and velocity profile: (i) just before the slurry starts to move (ii) as the slurry flows when the pressure gradient is double that in part (i)
