When nitrogen is pumped to a reactor, its flow velocity triples, and its temperature increases by 110 K. The outlet flange of the pump is located 12 m lower than the inlet flange. The magnitude of the heat loss in the pump is (0.7x92) % of the pump power input. The inlet state and the outlet state are specified as follows: • Inlet: Tin = 110 K, (quality) x = 23, Vin = 20 m/s, (flange diameter) din = 50 mm, • Outlet: Pout = 3 MPa. Determine: (a) the mass flow rate of nitrogen, (b) the input power of the pump in kW, (c) the outlet flange diameter.

Water is pumped from an open reservoir to a large closed tank at a fixed pressure of 2 bar, through a vertical distance of 50 meters using a 5 kW pump. Determine the maximum flow rate of the water (in kg/s). State any assumptions you make. For this flow rate, determine the speed of the water inside a 10 cm diameter pipe. Determine also the pressure difference between the inlet...
1. Water is pumped from a low reservoir to a high reservoir that is 20 m higher in elevation. The water is flowing at 1.5 m/s through a 305 mm internal diameter piping system. The water is at 18 degrees C. There are 1,000 m of piping, six standard 45 degree bends, two standard 90 degree bends, a branch flow tee, three gate valves, a swing check valve, a square inlet and a square outlet. The piping and valves are...
The ECCS pump in a reactor draws water from the suppression pool, at atmospheric pressure and pumps water through the low-pressure injection system into the reactor pressure vessel 15 m above the suppression pool at a pressure of 4 MPa. The pipe is 8 inches in diameter. The entrance can be considered reentrant. The total length of stainless steel pipe is 45 m, and there are 6 elbows with r/D of 4. A check valve with a loss coefficient K...
8-C) As shown below water is pumped and sprayed through a nozzle into the atmosphere at 20 m/s at an elevation 10 m above the reservoir surface. The mass flow rate is 40 kg/s and the volumetric flow rate is 0.040 m3/s. The large diameter inlet pipe total length is 50 m. The pump effidency is 65%. The longer smaller diameter pipe leaving the pump is 200 m in total length. The pipes have different diameters as indicated below. The...

The following diagram illustrates a simple steam power plant. A
10kg/s flow of liquid water at T1=25°C enters the pump at a
pressure of P1=100kPa and is then pumped to a pressure of P2=2MPa.
The boiler then heats the water at constant pressure to produce
superheated vapour at T3=450°C. The steam is then expanded in the
turbine to a final pressure of P4=100kPa. The turbine and pump are
well insulated and may be considered reversible.
