Thermo Solutions - Part7 PDF

This document summarizes a physics problem involving calculating the flow rate and fill time for a cubical tank being filled by a pump. The pump discharges fluid at 300 liters per minute into a 3-meter cube tank, with the fluid having a density of 1200 kg/m3. To determine the flow rate in kg/s, the volume flow rate is converted based on the given fluid density. The time to fill the tank is calculated by dividing the tank volume by the volumetric flow rate.

Chapter II • DEFINITIONS AND UNITS

Problem 2.5

A pump discharges into a 3-m-per-side cubical tank. The flow rate is 300 liters per
=
-trlir-.cde. and the fluid has a density 1.2 times that of water ( density of water 1000.0
kg/m 3). Determine (a) the flowrate in kilograms per second; (b) the time it takes
to fill the tank. -

Given: Dimensions of tank, flowrate and fluid density.

Find: Flowrate and time to fill tank.

Sketch and Given Data:

p = (1.2)(1000 kg'.· /m3) = 1200 kg/m3


•
W\ - - - ; ~

Assumptions: None

Analysis: (a) Converting volume flowrate to mass flowrate.

(3oo I/min) x (1200 kg/m3) x ( 1 . ) = 6 kg/s


(1000 f/m 3) 60 s/mm

(b) Calculating time by dividing volume by volume flowrate.

t = (3m)3 x (1000 f/m3) = 90 min


300 I/min
