When visiting your grandmother, you decide to take a fresh warm bath and wash your hair. However, grandmother lives in Maine, where the tap water is very soft, having a hardness of only 20 mg/L as CaCO3. In order to have an effective shampoo, you want the hardness to be about 80 mg/L as CaCO3. But, you notice that grandma regularly buys bottled mineral water that has the following concentration of major ions, and you have the crazy idea of using the mineral water to adjust the hardness: Ions mmol/L
Ca2+ 5
Mg2+ 0
Na+ 1
Cl- 1
HCO3- 10
SO42- 0

Required:
If the total volume of the bath tub is 1m3, what volumes of tap and bottled water must you mix together to have your ideal shampoo? If bottled water costs $1 per liter, what bill is grandma going to expect for a bath?

Apump is used to circulate hot water in a home heating system. water enters the well-insulated pump operating at steady state at a rate of 0.42 gal/min. the inlet pressure and temperature are 14.7 lbf/in.2, and 180°f, respectively; at the exit the pressure is 60 lbf/in.2 the pump requires 1/15 hp of power input. water can be modeled as an incompressible substance with constant density of 60.58 lb/ft3 and constant specific heat of 1 btu/lb or. neglecting kinetic and potential energy effects, determine the temperature change, in °r, as the water flows through the pump.

Acompressor compresses a gas, a pump compresses a liquid. for a given pressure ratio, why does it take more work to compress a gas in a compressor than a liquid in a pump? a)- for a given pressure ratio the average specific volume for a gas is much higher than the average specific volume for a liquid. b)- there is no difference. the only difference is the amount of heat generated (not work) c)- for a given pressure ratio the average volurge for a gas is much higher than the average volume for a liquid. d)-there is no difference
