What will cause low water pressure on a residential house with a well?

There are many cause of this, but the primary reasons are in the pressure tank. The tank MUST have residual air pressure of around 27 psi to drive the water system. To analyse further I need to know what kind of tank you have and what air pressure is in it when the water ceases to flow. I need to know what pressure your pump starts and if the tank feels heavy (full of water) when the pressure is low.


Why do dams have a very broad base?

Dams must hold back water of a certain depth, determined by the height of the dam. The pressure exerted by this water on the dam is dependent in part by its depth, since the base of the dam must be able to hold pressures exerted by the weight of all the water above the base. Since the pressure is greater at the base, the dam is broader at the base.


How cold do the cooling bays in nuclear power plants need to be?

The water is at atmospheric pressure, so it must be kept well below 100C to avoid high evaporation, around 30C would be ideal, and generally achievable, though this depends on the temperature of the heat sink.


How do you calculate grains per pound from relative humidity and temperature?

Given the relative humidities at various temperatures, calculate the absolute humidities (in grains of water per pound of air) at those temperatures. The absolute humidity of the ambient air is the saturation humidity multiplied by the percentage relative humidity and divided by 100: Habs = (Hsat )(RH / 100) where: Habs = absolute humidity at a given temp Hsat = saturation humidity at the same given temp RH = percentage relative humidity at the same given temp First, you must calculate the saturation humidity at each of your temperature data points: Hsat = (7000)(18.02 / 28.85)(PS)/(Pamb - PS) where: Hsat = grains of water per pound of air 7000 = grains per pound 18.02 = molecular weight of water 28.85 = molecular weight of dry air (taken as 79 vol % nitrogen, 21 vol % oxygen) PS = vapor pressure of water at temperature T Pamb = ambient pressure (You will need a good set of steam tables to look up the vapor pressure of water at each of your temperature data points) Example calculation of Hsat at 68 oF and an ambient atmospheric pressure of 14.696 psia: From the steam tables, the vapor pressure of water is 0.3389 psia at 68 oF. Hsat = (7000)(18.02/28.85)(0.3389)/(14.696 - 0.3389) = 103.2 grains of water/lb of air Now if your relative humidity data point at 68 oF was say 60%, then: Habs = (103.2)(60/100) = 61.9 grains of water/lb of air It is quite easy to set up a spreadsheet to convert your relative humidity data as per the above example ... then all that would be needed is to enter the water vapor pressure values at each of your temperature data points. You can also just use calculator apps to do it for you - like EZ Air: http://www.parkssoft.com/ezair.html


Can a high voltage transformer be megged with a megger meter?

No. A megger's output voltage is not high enough to test the insulation of a high-voltage transformer if, by 'high-voltage transformer ', you mean a distribution transformer or power transformer. Instead, a high-voltage test set or 'pressure tester' (e.g. a 'HiPot' tester) must be used, as these produce far higher voltages.

What is the internal pressure of hot tub filters?

Hot tub filters contain sand and gravel to filter our impurities in the water via a high pressure nozzle. The pressure must be high enough otherwise circulation problems may occur.


Is a basic proto slg 09 a high pressure gun?

It can be run on any pressure. Only low end mechanical guns "must" be high pressure, and only certain Angle markers "must" be run on low pressure.


Why high pressure oxygen is used in bomb calorimeter?

There are 2 reasons for using high pressure oxygen in bomb calorimeter. The 1st is that we need enough oxygen for a complete combustion in a very small volume. To do that the oxidant pressure must be high. The typical air ratios in a bomb calorimeter are between 4 and 9. The 2nd reason is that we want to measure the high calorific value of a fuel. Thus the water produced from the combustion must be in liquid form. For a certain temperature, the higher the vapor pressure, the higher the liquid water percentage. So, the higher the total pressure (25 atm), the higher the partial vapor pressure. jimmer


What is the pressure of the blood?

It's approximately equal to the pressure of a column of water equal to your height. It must be high enough to overcome friction of the capillary systems (plus a bit more for the other vesicles) AND it must be high enough to lift blood up to your head (when standing). It comes out to about 1/6 th of an atmosphere.


How high must a 1 inch vertical pipe reach to create 10psi of water pressure?

Same as a 1/8 - 36 " pipe as STATIC pressure remins the same it is the "FORCE" which takes weight into account YOU need to have the pipe 23 feet high

In order to pressure wash a deck you must have it set on a low pressure. A high pressure can completely destroy the wood.


How high must your 500 gal water tower be to hose water your garden by gravity flow?

To find out the pressure for the height you multiply the vertical distance by .433 and you have the actual pressure before any friction losses of coarse. For instance: If your tower is 50 feet high, you would have 21.65 psi. 50 X .433 = 21.65psi.


How do you clean a strainer?

To sanitize anything, you must either clean it with chemicals or immerse it in very hot water for a long period of time. To remove physical debris, soak it in warm water and then run high pressure water through it.


Why does water have pressure?

water has a definite volume, but not a shape. The amount of pressure exerted on the water must be displaced around the container, causing a pressure to build up, as water and other liquids cannot be compacted like gases.

If one pound of water is at a temperature of 32 degrees Fahrenheit, how many BTU’s must be removed in order to create a block of ice at 17 degrees?

LATENT HEAT OF FUSION When one pound of ice melts, it absorbs 144 BTUs at a constant temperature of 32°F. If one pound of water is to be frozen into ice, 144 BTUs must be removed from the water at a constant temperature of 32°F.
