1.Identify the phase transition occurring. The water level in an aquarium tank falls continuously (the tank has no leak).

Expert Solution

One thing that is important in determining whether you need (or even want) to get a sump for your home aquarium is whether your fish tank is an open or closed system.

Most aquariums are closed systems. In a closed system, there is no place for water to leak out. Canister filters, ultra-violet sterilizers, and fluidized bed filters are all closed systems. Water is taken out of the fish tank through a tube, pumped through the sterilizer or filter, and returned to a point inside the tank. This is called a closed system because there isn't any point along the water's path where it is not controlled and contained. Closed systems do not need a sump.

Open systems have some means within the system where water could - or is even expected to - escape. Trickle filters and protein skimmers are open systems. These pieces of equipment are designed with openings to allow the release of water, air, or waste. Because these systems are open, they need something to catch the water that can (or does) pass through. Though they can be set up so that this can fall back into the tank, usually it is the sump that catches this overflow.

The coninuous in-tank leak detection system is a comprehensive automatic tank-gauging and leak-detection system that can simultaneously monitor product levels, water levels, temperatures and leaks in up to 8 tanks. With advanced technology, enhanced features and intelligent software, the continuous in-tank leak detection system is suitable for a variety of continuous automatic tank gauging and leak-detection monitoring.

A rock sits at the bottom of a fish tank and the level of the water in the tank is noted. The rock is then put into an old fashioned ice cube tray (made from aluminium) and is floated on the top of the water. The level is again noted. Which of the following is true? a). The water level is the same before and after. b). The water level is higher before when rock is at the bottom of...

A rigid, well-insulated tank contains a two-phase mixture consisting of 0.005 ft3 of saturated liquid water and 2.7 ft3 of saturated water vapor, initially at 14.7 lbf/in.2 A paddle wheel stirs the mixture until only saturated vapor remains in the tank. Kinetic and potential energy effects are negligible. For the water, determine the amount of energy transfer by work, in Btu.

1) A tank is full of water. Find the work W required to pump the water out of the spout. (Use 9.8 m/s2 for g. Use 1000 kg/m3 as the weight density of water. Assume that a = 4 m, b = 4 m, c = 12 m,and d = 1 m.) W = ___ J I got 5017600 then in scientific notation it would be 5.0176 X 10^6, then in Juls in would be 5.02? I got the answer...

A tank originally contains 100 gal of fresh water. Then water containing 1 2 lb of salt per gallon is poured into the tank at a rate of 2 gal/min, and the mixture is allowed to leave at the same rate. After 10 min the process is stopped, and fresh water is poured into the tank at a rate of 4 gal/min, with the mixture again leaving at the same rate. Find the amount of salt in the tank at...
