A 78-percent efficient 12-hp pump is pumping water from a lake to a nearby pool at a rate of 1.2 ft3 /s through a constant-diameter pipe. The free surface of the pool is 32 ft above that of the lake. Determine the irreversible head loss of the piping system, in ft, and the mechanical power used to overcome it

What difference(s) did you notice using a pneumatic circuit over hydraulic circuit.explain why the pneumatic piston stumbles when it hits an obstacle.

Air is to be cooled in the evaporator section of a refrigerator by passing it over a bank of 0.8-cm-outer-diameter and 0.4-m-long tubes inside which the refrigerant is evaporating at -20°c. air approaches the tube bank in the normal direction at 0°c and 1 atm with a mean velocity of 4 m/s. the tubes are arranged in-line with longitudinal and transverse pitches of sl- st 1.5 cm. there are 30 rows in the flow direction with 15 tubes in each row. determine (a) the refrigeration capacity of this system and (b) pressure drop across the tube bank. evaluate the air properties at an assumed mean temperature of -5°c and 1 atm. is this a good assumption?

Afluid flows with a velocity field given by v=(x/t)i.. determine the local and convective accelerations when x=3 and t=1.
