10. Water at 20o C flow a through the pipe system (19mm ID) shown at a rate of the 185 L/min (0.185m 3/min). If
the loss coefficients for the 90o elbows and 45o elbow are 1.5 and 0.4, respectively. What is most nearly the
sum of the minor (head) losses for the system? Useful relationships: v=V/A, h Lminor=(v2/2g)(2k90+k45)
a) 2.4m
b) 18m
c) 21m
d) 23m
11. What is the function of cooling towers in a refrigeration system
(a) Cool the exhaust air to reduce environmental impact.
(b) Cool the evaporator in the rooms to maintain the required temperature
(c) Cooling the condenser in the central AC unit.
(d) Cooling the compressor to a normal operation temperature.
13. Pump transfers the mechanical energy of a motor or of an engine into _________ of a fluid.
a. pressure energy
b. kinetic energy
c. either pressure energy or kinetic energy
d. pressure energy, kinetic energy or both
14. A pump draws water (50°F) from a reservoir, where the water-surface elevation is 520 ft, and forces the
water through a pipe 5000 ft long and 1 ft in diameter. This pipe then discharges the water into a reservoir
with water-surface elevation of 620 ft. The flow rate is 7.85 cfs, and the head loss in the pipe is given by
Useful relationships: v=V/A, hLmajor=0.01(L/D)(v2/2g), the head losses equal to
(a) 78 ft
(b) 178 ft
(c) 278 ft
(d) none of the above.
