A centrifugal pump delivers water at rate of 0.22 m3/s from a reservoir at a ground level to another reservoir to height 'h' through a vertical pipe of 0.2 m diameter. Both are open to atmosphere. Power input to pump is 90 kW and it operates with 75% efficiency . f=0.004 use g=9.8 m/s2 density=1000kg/m3. Find 'h'.

When boiling water, a hot plate takes an average of 88 minutes [min] and 1515 seconds [s] to boil 170170 milliliters [mL] of water. Assume the temperature in the lab is 6969 degrees Fahrenheit. The hot plate is rated to provide 501501 watts [W]. If we wish to boil 170170 milliliters [mL] of acetone using this same hot plate, how long do we expect the process to take? Acetone has a boiling point of 5656 degrees Celsius. [Hint: you must determine the efficiency of the hotplate.]

What causes Transgression and Regression?
Transgression is the deepening water or an inland migration of coastline. Regression on the other hand in water becoming shallow or the seaward migration of the coastline. What causes this to happen? What accounts for the ordering of rocks along the shoreline?

A wastewater plant needs to reduce the methane content in water in a stripping tower to 0.3 mol %. The liquid stream is entering the tower with a flow rate of 200 mole/h and contains 0.8 mol % methane. The tower uses pure air for stripping and its temperature and pressure are held constant at 300 K and 1 atm, respectively. The equilibrium relation for methane in the air-water system is ? = 1.2?. a) Find the minimum vapor flow rate required to achieve this separation. B) Find the number of stages required if the vapor flow rate is taken as 1.2 ???? ′ .

A 2-shell passes and 4-tube passes heat exchanger is used to heat process stream from 35°C to 80°C by hot water available at 90°C, which enters the thin-walled 2.5-cm-diameter tube with total length of 65 m. The convection heat transfer coefficient is 76 W/m2 .°C on the process stream (shell) side and 190 W/m2 .°C on the water (tube) side. For a desired factor, FT = 0.95
a) Determine the rate of heat transfer in the heat exchanger.
b) Consider a fouling factor of 0.0012 m2 ·°C/W at the inner and outer surfaces of tube, determine the new rate of heat transfer
c) Evaluate the mass flow of hot water needed to compensate the heat loss due to fouling. Assume cp of hot water is 4.2 J/g.°C.
d) If the existing operating conditions are to be remained unchanged, evaluate the new area to compensate the heat loss due to fouling.
