Consider the process shown below in which a submersible pump at the bottom of a reservoir operates at steady-state pumpin water at a rate m = 9.0 lb/s to an elevated storage tank. Heat transfer between the pump and its surroundings is negligible. The velocity and temperature of the water do not change significantly between the pump inlet and the storage inlet. The water may be assumed to be incompressible fluid with density p=1.9 lb/ftÂ® and constant specific heat Cu = 1 Btu/lbÂ°R. The distance are zu = 20 ft and 24 = 18 ft. The pressures in the storage tank is given by P2 = 25.9 psi and the atmospheric pressure is given by Patm 14.5 psi. Assume g = 32.2 ft/s^2 Required:
What is the pressure at the inlet of the pump?

An external consultant recommends that a plant installs a bank of capacitors for power factor correction. this will reduce the peak electrical demand charges by an average of 93 kw every month. the plant current pays $13 per kw in peak demand charges. the capacitor bank will include 223 kw of fixed capacitors, and 183 of variable capacitors. the fixed capacitors cost $59 per kw, and the variable capacitors will cost $65 per kw. the consultant charges 21% of the equipment costs to install the capacitors. because this project will reduce the demand for the electric utility, they are prepared to provide a one-time rebate of $42 per kw of reduced demand. what is the simple payback period for this project (in years)?
