How does specific gravity effect head pressure?
Specific gravity affects head pressure in a pump system by changing the weight of the fluid being pumped. A higher specific gravity means the fluid is denser and heavier, resulting in higher head pressure needed to overcome the increased resistance of the fluid. Conversely, a lower specific gravity would require less head pressure.
What is the difference of pressure above and below the miniscus of water?
The pressure above the meniscus in water is lower than the pressure below it. This pressure difference results in the upward capillary action observed in narrow tubes containing water.
What is the effect of ramp length on the speed of a marble?
A longer ramp length will typically result in a higher speed for the marble due to the increased distance it has to accelerate. This allows the marble to gain more momentum before reaching the end of the ramp.
How deep will a vacuum pump water from?
i believe the question should be stated as "How high can a pump pull liquid when mounted above the liquid source". an old pump adage is that a pump doesn't suck. sounds dumb, but it refers to the necessity of having a positive pressure at the suction of the pump greater than the required net positive pressure req'd by the pump. NPSHa must be greater than NPSHr. in any system open to atmosphere the surface of the fluid will have 14.7psi (at sea level) X 2.31 ft/psi, or roughly 34' of head, or NPSHa, available. the manufacturers performance curves will show the NPSHr of the pump at any given flow for a given impeller trim. by subtracting this NPSHr from the calculated surface pressure you can arrive at a general maximum lift that the pump can run at. there will also be line friction losses that will reduce this height, and typically we subtract another 2-3' for a fudge factor as you would not want to run on the ragged edge. so, a pump with an NPSHr of 8' would be able to lift cold water approx 22' before cavitating. getting it primed is another issue, and having said all this, there is a type of centrifugal that can successfully trick this seemingly rigid restriction on lift. the typical home commercial jet pump can lift from many times this limited depth by taking a portion of the high pressure discharge and sending it down a separate pipe and into the suction pipe. this effectively increases the suction pressure and allows this type of pump to lift from quite a depth. a really neat way around having to install a down-hole pump submersible. of course the type of pump, what you are pumping, temperature, vapor pressure, specific gravity, and viscosity will all affect the height that a pump can lift a fluid.
If the question is ' at what height we can place the suction side of pump from the water level from where it is pulled up', then if we are not considering the NPSH (which is not practical of course) , then i think that the maximum height of the suction side will be the height which will balance the pressure which is on the water level below from where it is pumped. If the pressure there is atmospheric pressure (at the water level below suction side)then maximum height of water rising is 10.3 m around(will vary according to the fluid being pumped). Above it water will not rise whatever vacuum you create though pump.(Its just like in barometer where mercury doesn't rise above 760mm, although there is vacuum above it in the tube. This is because at base of inverted tube of barometer, pressure is balanced). In practical of course the height is much less of course otherwise cavitation will take place when pressure falls below Vapor pressure of the Liquid being pumped.
Does higher mass cause liquids to freeze faster?
No.
Because, When water freezes there is no change of mass due to conservation of mass in any physical and chemical changes.
Why does a liquid curve around the edge of its container?
A liquid curves around the edge of its container due to a phenomenon known as surface tension. Surface tension is caused by the attraction between liquid molecules at the surface, creating a force that minimizes the surface area. This force pulls the liquid molecules together at the edges of the container, causing the curvature.
What is maintained at a constant height of 10 m in a tankcalculate the velocity of efflux?
In order to calculate that, we'd also need to know
How do you calculate drag coefficient when you are not given drag force?
You can calculate the drag coefficient by using the formula Cd = Fd / (0.5 * ρ * A * V^2), where Cd is the drag coefficient, Fd is the drag force, ρ is the air density, A is the reference area, and V is the velocity of the object. Given these values, you can rearrange the formula to solve for the drag coefficient.
How do you return honey to a liquid state?
Honey turning to sugar is called granulation and doesn't affect the taste or quality of the honey in any way. However, if you want to change it back to its original runny state, heat it gently, being careful not to boil it.
Just heat it up in the microwave, or in a pan of hot water on a stove.
It would take approximately 420 feet for an 80,000-pound tractor-trailer traveling at 50 miles per hour to come to a complete stop under ideal conditions. However, various factors such as road conditions, weather, and driver reaction time can affect the stopping distance.
What is the average radius of a field mouse?
The average body length of a field mouse is around 3 to 4 inches, so the average radius would be approximately 0.75 to 1 inch.
What is soret and dufour effect?
The Soret effect is the phenomenon where a temperature gradient causes a concentration gradient in a fluid mixture. The Dufour effect is the phenomenon where a concentration gradient causes a temperature gradient in a fluid mixture. Both effects are important in non-isothermal mass transport processes.
What are the advantages of a jackhammer?
Jackhammers are powerful tools that can break through tough materials like concrete and asphalt quickly and efficiently. They are versatile and can be used in various construction and demolition projects. Jackhammers are also easy to operate, making them ideal for both professionals and DIY enthusiasts.
When water molecules heat up and turn to steam the molecules begin to move?
When water molecules heat up and turn to steam, they gain energy and move more quickly, breaking the intermolecular bonds that hold them together as a liquid. This transition from liquid to gas is known as vaporization.
How much damage does a whirlpool cause?
The damage caused by a whirlpool can vary depending on its size and strength. In general, whirlpools can pull objects or individuals underwater, causing drowning or injury due to the force of the swirling water. It is important to avoid whirlpools and take precautions when near areas with strong currents.
What is the fluid in the alveoli called?
The fluid in the alveoli of the lungs is called pulmonary surfactant. It helps to reduce surface tension and prevent the alveoli from collapsing, allowing for efficient gas exchange during respiration.
How does displacement affect the speed of hydraulic motor?
Displacement is the measure of how much fluid it takes to turn the hydraulic motor shaft per revolution. It is typically expressed in cubic inches or cubic centimeters per revolution.
Given the same flow rate and pressure, a larger displacement motor will turn slower than a smaller displacement motor. A larger displacement motor will also produce higher torque than a smaller motor.
So as displacement increases, torque goes up and speed goes down. This makes sense as torque multiplied by speed equals horse power. For a same input horsepower (pressure times flow), if one value did not vary as the inverse of the other, the conservation of power would not be met.
What is the max lift coefficient of a F-18 hornet?
The F-18 Hornet has a maximum lift coefficient of around 2.5 in clean configuration.
Does toothpaste have high viscosity?
Toothpaste is a Liquid there are mant diffrent toothpastes but they are liquids because you can sqeeze it out of a tube but if it was a solid you couldnt get it out of the tube if any further qestions please just ask thankyou x
How does the air pressure change as the altitude increases?
As altitude increases, air pressure decreases. Gravity causes the atmosphere to become heavier the closer you are to the ground. The atmosphere may seem weightless but all the air molecules add up to a tremendous amount of mass. If you think of the atmosphere like blankets, the more blankets you have piled on you the heavier they become, thus pressing down on your body more and more. This is the same in the atmosphere, where the higher the altitude, the less overlying atmosphere, the less pressure on air molecules. At higher altitudes the air molecules have more freedom to move around.
How do they keep water from flowing down the steep mountain side?
By making a water dam, so that water can't go down.
Dams and flumes prevent the rapid loss of this valuable resource: water is life. Live long, and well with water, from the well if necessary.
Would it be possible to drink from a straw a mile long?
Yes, but it would have to be tilted, almost flat. You can only drink through it
if your mouth is not more than 33 feet higher than the surface of the liquid
that you're drinking through the straw.
Why do gases get bigger and spread out?
because every particle is moving in a random direction and a speed determined by temperature. these particles will continue moving in this direction until they hit another particle or wall, they will then rebound and travel the opposite direction thus causing pressure.
Why would all the sugar not dissolve in a glass of tea?
In a Solution i.e your tea, only so much sugar can Dissolve. If you put loads of sugar into your tea, it can become a saturated solution. This means that the excess molecules of the sugar have no more room to dissolve into the tea, therefore it just sets at the bottom like sand.
More Information:
It is possible that enough sugar was added to the tea to saturate it, at which point no more sugar would dissolve, but that takes a lot of sugar. So, it is more likely that more time was needed for the sugar to dissolve. This process can be hastened by inverting the sugar (by adding a bit of lemon juice and/or corn syrup [glucose])
When a 10-N object is suspended at rest by two vertical strands of rope the tension in each rope is?
If the ropes are perfectly vertical AND both of them are indeed sharing the load,
then the tension in each rope is 5N. But it would be practically impossible to have
them exactly share the load, and one would wind up supporting most or all of it.
The best way to make them share is to use elastic ropes, like bungees. They still
would never share equally, but at least they would share. In any case, the
tensions in both support strands would always add up to 10N.
