Chapter 7, Problem 7.16P

A certain tank has a circular bottom area A = 20 ft2. It is drained by a pipe whose linear resistance is R — 150 m-1sec_1. The tank contains water whose mass density is 1.94 slug/ft3.

  1. Estimate how long it will take for the tank to empty if the water height is initially 30 ft.
  2. Suppose we dump water into the tank at a rate of 0.1 ft3/sec. If the tank is initially empty and the outlet pipe remains open, find the steady-state height and the time to reach one-third that height, and estimate how long it will take to reach the steady-state height.

Consider the three tank system shown in the figure. All tanks are completely empty. At time t=0 water flows into tank 1 at a constant rate of Q and subsequently flows into tanks 2 and 3. Also, water drains from tanks 1 (1) (2) (3) and tanks 2 as shown. Develop a model (differential equation system) that will describe this system. Assume time constant ,T = 1.
Liquid in a fixed volume closed container isis mixed. X + 400 kJ of work is done to mix the propellerand 500 kJ of heat transfer from the vessel walls to the environment. The internal energy of the liquid in its final state is 660 kJ.As it is known, find the initial internal energy. Draw the system schematically and show the energy flow.(It is assumed that there is no kinetic and potential energy change.) (X=0)
Problem 1 a) In an open vessel, a certain volume V of water is perfectly agitated by means of an impeller 20 cm in diameter D. Consider a case in which the impeller steadily rotates at 150 RPM (=revolutions per minute) Draw up a proper energy balance to find how temperature changes with time as a result of the power input øw, also named P, by the revolving impeller. • This Pis given by the formula P = 3.5 PN°D° in which N denotes the impeller speed in revolutions per second. Calculate P. When V = 120 litre and the specific heat of water amounts to 4.2 kJ/kgK, calculate the temperature increase of the water after one hour of stirring.
