A 32 inch diameter pump handling 22000 GPM flow of water coming from an atmospheric tank storage is running at 1170 rpm. The water temperature can be taken at 25 C. The suction line is 20 meter long at 6 inch diameter. The pump suction is 0.4 meter above ground level. The tank storage is elevated on a 1 meter high platform. Assume friction factor of 0.02. Specific Gravity of water at 25 C is 0.9967. NPSH required is 34 ft. Determine: A) NPSHA in terms of feet, B) Will cavitation occur, yes or no? C) BHP D) the specific speed., E and G) if new speed is 900 rpm with same impeller diameter, determine the new flowrate in GPM and new head in ft?

In a slab of material 0.25 m thick and having a thermal conductivity of 45 W/mK, the
temperature °C at x under steady state is given by T = 100 + 200x – 400x2 when x is measured
from one face in m. Determine the heat flow at x = 0, x = 0.125 and x = 0.25 m and also the
temperatures and temperature gradients at these planes. If the difference in heat flow at these
sections is due to the heat generation, determine the heat generation rate per unit volume.

 The idealized cross-section of a two-cell thin-walled wing box is shown below with the data in Table 22.7. If the wing box supports a load of 44,500 N acting along web 25, calculate the shear flow distribution. The shear modulus G is the same for all walls of the wing box. The cell areas are Ar = 232,000 mm2, An = 258,000 mm2.

You currently have an electric hot water tank to produce your domestic hot water, which operates at 95% efficiency, and consumes 25 GJ of electricity to per year. You get a new hot water tank, this time, it comes with an integrated heat pump water heater with an annual COP of 2. Assume:
- Hot water load evenly distributed every month
- Heat for heat pump is drawn from space around hot water tank, which is located in the house.
- Losses of the original tank were heat losses from the tank to its surrounding air.
- Space heating is required 4 months of the year.
- Cooling is required for 6 months per year.
How much energy does the new hot water tank consume? By approximately how much would the space heating and cooling energy demand change with the new tank?
