The utility companies often sell electric power at night at much lower prices since the demand for electric power is usually much higher during the day. The owner of a four-story Hotel would like to take advantage of this opportunity. The owner decides to design a pump piping system that delivers water from the lake to the large pool (or reservoir) located on the roof of the Hotel. The owner wants to fill the pool from sea water during the night when the electric power is cheap and to use the water during the day. Therefore, the owner decides to hire a mechanical engineer to design this piping pump system to deliver the water from the close lake to the reservoir on the roof of the building. As a hired mechanical engineer, you are supposed to design this piping pump system by selecting the desired pipe size, flow rate and all necessary fittings, and determine the horsepower of the pump required for such a delivery.

Amass of m 1.5 kg of steam is contained in a closed rigid container. initially the pressure and temperature of the steam are: p 1.5 mpa and t 240°c (superheated state), respectively. then the temperature drops to t2= 100°c as the result of heat transfer to the surroundings. determine: a) quality of the steam at the end of the process, b) heat transfer with the surroundings. for: p1.5 mpa and t 240°c: enthalpy of superheated vapour is 2900 kj/kg, specific volume of superheated vapour is 0. 1483 m/kg, while for t 100°c: enthalpy of saturated liquid water is 419kj/kg, specific volume of saturated liquid water is 0.001043m/kg, enthalpy of saturated vapour is 2676 kj/kg, specific volume of saturated vapour is 1.672 m/kg and pressure is 0.1 mpa.
