Water heater

In a water heater, tap water with the temperature 10 degrees celcius is heated to 60 degrees celcius. For a shower, a total of 20 litres of water is used. Water from the water heater is mixed with tap water to reach the temperature 35 degrees celcius when one showers.

  1. How much ENERGY is needed to heat 10 litres of water from 10 celcius to 60 celcius?

  2. How much EXERGY is needed to heat 10 litres of water from 10 celcius to 60 celcius?

  3. How much ENERGY is needed to heat 20 litres of water from 10 celcius to 35 celcius?

  4. How much EXERGY is needed to heat 20 litres of water from 10 celcius to 35 celcius?

  5. What is the change in entropy when 10 litres of water with the temperature 10 celcius is mixed with 10 litres of water with the temperature 60 celcius?

he's being transported. The pipe used in the line is made of cast iron ( = 0.12 mm). One in the transplant line
there are pump units. One fully open sliding valve (KSV=3.2) and one before pumping on the line
the piece has a 90° standard bracket (K90=2.2). The inner diameter of the pipe used even before the pump is 6 cm
and the line is 7.5 m long. After the pump, two fully open ball valves were used.
(KKV=4.3). The inner diameter of the pipe used after the pump is 3 cm and its length is 17.5 m. After the pump
there are 4 60° standard elbows (K60=2.6) on the line. Volumetric flow rate before pump 5 m3/hour while, it is exactly three times that after the pump. While the warehouse is in a tower 12 m high from the ground, the tank
it is positioned 4 m above the ground. Taking this data into account;
a) total friction loss in the pipeline [20p]
b) pressure loss covered by the pump [15p]
c) the minimum power of the pump, which is used to beat pressure loss and works with 90% efficiency

You are working with a team designing capacitors for specialized purposes. One client needs a capacitor shaped like a sphere that can store the most energy for its size. You are to begin the design process by performing calculations for a simple spherical capacitor consisting of two thin concentric spherical shells separated by a dielectric. You decide to calculate the maximum energy that can be stored in terms of the radius of the outer shell and the maximum electric field that the dielectric can withstand before breaking down.

After you have derived a symbolic answer, get an idea of how much energy this is by finding a numerical answer for a capacitor with an outer shell that has a radius of 5 cm (about the size of a softball), filled with a dielectric with a breakdown voltage of 150 x 106 V/m and a dielectric constant of 3.

(a)  Give a purely symbolic answer to the problem in terms of (only) the quantities given in the problem and known constants. Be sure to define each of the symbols you use.

(b) Give a numerical answer to the problem.

A small bullet of mass m=0.24kg and speed v=17.8m/s embeds in a block of mass M=0.75kg suspended by a massless string of length L, after a collision as shown in the figure. If the bullet will appear on the other side of the block M with a speed v'=5m/s, instead of being embedded in it, find the maximum height the block M can reach. (Take g=9.81 m/s2).

Three people pull simultaneously on a stubborn donkey. Jack pulls eastward with a force of 76.9 N, Jill pulls with 70.9 N in the northeast direction, and Jane pulls to the southeast with 163 N. (Since the donkey is involved with such uncoordinated people, who can blame it for being stubborn?) Find the magnitude of the net force the people exert on the donkey.
