Cloth bag filters are used to remove particulate matter from the gases passing out through several process and boiler stacks in a large industrial plant. The bags become clogged and must be replaced frequently. Since they are quite expensive, rather than being discarded they are emptied, washed, and reused. In the washing process, a detergent solution with a specific gravity of 0.96 flows from a storage tank to a washing machine. The liquid effluent from the machine is pumped through a filter to remove dirt, and the cleaned detergent is recycled back to the storage tank. Detergent flows from the storage tank to the washing machine by gravity feed at a rate of . All pipes in the line have 4.0-cm inner diameters. Friction losses are negligible in the line from the tank to the washing machine when the valve is fully opened, and in the return line, which includes the pump and filter.

Required:
a. Calculate the value of the height H.
b. Suppose the pump has an efficiency of 75% ; that is , it delivers 75 % of its rated value as shaft work. What must the rated value (kW) of the pump be to return 600 L/min of detergent to the storage tank?

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.

Air at a pressure of 1atm and a temperature of 40 c is in parallel flow over the top surface of a flat plate that is heated to a uniform temperature of 120 c. the plate has a length of 0.40m (in the flow direction) and a width of 0.15m. the reynolds number based on the plate length is 50, 000. what is the rate of heat transfer from the plate to the air? if the free stream velocity of the air is doubled and the pressure is increased to 10 atm what is the rate of heat transfer?

An air-conditioning system consists of a heating section and an evaporative cooler. air enters the heating section at 10°c and 70 percent relative humidity at a rate of 30m^3/min, and it leaves the evaporative cooler at 20°c and 60 percent relatively humidity. if the air conditioning system operates at a total pressure of 98 kpa, determine (a) the temperature and relative humidity of the air when it leaves the heating section, (b) the rate of heat transfer in the heating section, and (c) the rate of water added to air in the evaporative cooler
