A horizontal pipe (300 mm dia. And 300m length) leaves a reservoir of surface elevation 60 m at an elevation of 54 m. This pipe connects (abrupt contraction) to a 150 mm diameter pipe of length 300 m running to elevation 30 m, where it enters a reservoir of surface elevation 39 m. Assuming friction factor of 0.02, calculate the flowrate through the line.

Ahouse has the following electrical appliance usage (1) single 40w lamp used for 4 hours per day (2) single 60w fan used for 12 hours per day (3) single 200w refrigerator that runs 24 hours per day with compressor run 12 hours and off 12 hours find the solar power inverter size in watt with correction factor of 1.25.

The filament of an incandescent lamp has a temperature of 2000k. calculate the fraction of radiation emitted in the visible light band if the filament is approximated as blackbody

Awall of 0.5m thickness is to be constructed from a material which has average thermal conductivity of 1.4 w/mk. the wall is to be insulated with a material having an average thermal conductivity of 0.35 w/mk so that heat loss per square meter shall not exceed 1450 w. assume inner wall surface temperature of 1200°c and outer surface temperature of the insulation to be 15°c. calculate the thickness of insulation required.
