Question # 1
An adiabatic pump is used to increase the pressure of water from 100 kPa to 500 kPa at a rate of 400
L/min. If the efficiency of the pump is 75 percent, find the maximum temperature rise of the water
across the pump.
Question # 2
Consider a 6-m-diameter spherical gate holding a body of water whose height is equal to the diameter
of the gate. Atmospheric pressure acts on both sides of the gate. Find the horizontal component of the
hydrostatic force acting on this curved surface
