Chapter 13, Problem 13.23P
A rotameter is calibrated to read directly at a temperature of 25ºC and a pressure of 760 mm Hg. It is used at an altitude of 5000 ft (1500 m), where the atmospheric pressure is 633 mm Hg and the temperature is 15ºC. What was the actual flow rate when the rotameter reading was 2.5 L/min?

Problem: A ship arrives at the mouth of a river in water of density 1016 kg per cu. m with a freeboard of ‘S’ m. She then discharges 150 tonnes of cargo, and proceeds up river to a second port, consuming 14 tonnes of bunkers. When she arrives at the second port the freeboard is again ‘S’ m, the density of the water being 1004 kg per cu. m. Find the ship’s displacement on arrival at the second port. Thank you so much. I am having a hard time to understand it an illustration and detailed explanation will be very helpful. Thank you.arrow_forwardLocal authorities of Ankara built a basin as cylindrical tank with an upper diameter D1 = 1500m, lower diameter D2 = 750m and height H = 25m, in Ankara as shown in the figure. Nowadays we face out drought periods, the water height in the basin is at the level of 9 m. This value should not fall below 5 m (critical point). Regional officials estimate that the consumption rate in the city is 71620 m / day from the pipe with 2 m in diameter, and the water inlet flow rate from various source (rainfall, current) to the basin will be 150000 m3/ day. The independent variable shows the time in t days, and how long does the water level in the tank (basin) reach the critical value?(ρ = 1000kg / m3)arrow_forward
