Indoor waterfalls are installed in commercial centers and private houses to offer a refreshing view, humidity and a pleasant sound effect. You are asked to choose water pumps for a new indoor waterfall project. The submersible pumps are to be installed in a water reservoir and connected by flexible hoses to the top of the 3 m-high waterfall. The interior designer estimates that a water flow rate of 1500 liters per minute is required for an optimum effect and 4 identical water pumps are needed, installed at equal separations. Standard pumps have the same inlet and outlet crosssections.

(a) Determine the power rating of each of the 4 identical pumps, assuming 95% efficiency.
(b) What is the change in flow power between the inlet and outlet of the pump?
(c) If the inlet pressure is 1 atm, what is the pressure directly at the outlet of each pump?

Air is to be cooled in the evaporator section of a refrigerator by passing it over a bank of 0.8-cm-outer-diameter and 0.4-m-long tubes inside which the refrigerant is evaporating at -20°c. air approaches the tube bank in the normal direction at 0°c and 1 atm with a mean velocity of 4 m/s. the tubes are arranged in-line with longitudinal and transverse pitches of sl- st 1.5 cm. there are 30 rows in the flow direction with 15 tubes in each row. determine (a) the refrigeration capacity of this system and (b) pressure drop across the tube bank. evaluate the air properties at an assumed mean temperature of -5°c and 1 atm. is this a good assumption?

Water in a partially filled large tank is to be supplied to the roof top, which is 8 m above the water level in the tank, through a 2.2-cm-internal-diameter pipe by maintaining a constant air pressure of 300 kpa (gage) in the tank. if the head loss in the piping is 2 m of water, determine the discharge rate of the supply of water to the roof top in liters per second.
