Pumped-storage hydroelectricity is a type of hydroelectric energy storage used by electric power systems for load balancing. The idea is to pump water from a lower elevation reservoir to a higher elevation reservoir when electricity demand is low and inexpensive, such as at night. During periods of high electrical demand, such as during the day, the stored water is released through turbines to produce power. (a) (5 points) If water of density ows by gravity from the higher elevation reservoir (a) to the lower one (b) at a steady ow rate Q over a height H, what is the loss in energy associated with this ow? (b) (5 points) If this same amount of loss is associated with pumping the water from the lower reservoir to the higher one at the same owrate, determine the power required to run the pump. 3

Apump is used to circulate hot water in a home heating system. water enters the well-insulated pump operating at steady state at a rate of 0.42 gal/min. the inlet pressure and temperature are 14.7 lbf/in.2, and 180°f, respectively; at the exit the pressure is 60 lbf/in.2 the pump requires 1/15 hp of power input. water can be modeled as an incompressible substance with constant density of 60.58 lb/ft3 and constant specific heat of 1 btu/lb or. neglecting kinetic and potential energy effects, determine the temperature change, in °r, as the water flows through the pump.
