1.A liquid refrigerant (sg = 1.080) is flowing at a weight flow rate of 23.0 N/h.
Required
Calculate the mass flow rate in kg/s. (Note: Answer will be small, include 3 digits after at end of leading 0's).
2.When 2600 L/min of water flows through a circular section with an inside diameter of 275 mm that later reduces to a 155 mm diameter.
Required
Calculate the average velocity of flow in the larger section, to the nearest 1000th.
A pump is used in a building to lift water from a ground floor. The pump is pushing 60l/sec of water through a 0.1m diameter to above floor which is 5m high. Calculate the velocity by which the water exits the pipe if water enters the pump at 30kPa and exists with 5kPa.
