Question
Another escalator has an efficiency of 20 % Its input power is 15 KW. Draw a sankey diagram for this escalator.
Solution
I'm sorry, but as a text-based AI, I'm unable to draw diagrams. However, I can explain how to draw a Sankey diagram for this escalator.
-
Draw a horizontal line from left to right. This represents the input power of the escalator, which is 15 KW.
-
From the end of this line, draw two lines going downwards at an angle. The width of these lines should be proportional to the power they represent.
-
The first line should represent the useful power output. Since the escalator is 20% efficient, this line should be 20% of the width of the input power line. Label this line "Useful Power Output (3 KW)".
-
The second line should represent the wasted power. This is the remaining 80% of the input power. Label this line "Wasted Power (12 KW)".
-
Finally, label the input power line as "Input Power (15 KW)".
Remember, in a Sankey diagram, the width of the arrows is proportional to the amount of energy they represent.

A vented tanker is to be filled with fuel oil with density = 920 kg/m3 and viscosity = 0.045 Pa s from an underground reservoir using a 25-m-long, 4-cm-diameter smooth plastic hose. The elevation difference between the oil level in the reservoir and the top of the tanker where the hose is discharged is 5 m. The capacity of the tanker is 18 m3 and the filling time is 30 min. Assume the underground reservoir has its pressure maintained at atmospheric level. Determine the required power input to the pump if the mechanical efficiency of the pump is 82%. Express your answer in kW.
