    Conceptual question about currents and pumps

    Homework Statement Homework Equations I suppose the energy density equation applies here: (P2-P1) + pg(y2-y1) + 1/2p(v2^2 - v1^2) = Epump/vol - IR and I = Av The Attempt at a Solution My initial thought was that the current is the same. But then, since current is Av...

    Heat pumps and coeffiecent of performance

    Hi everyone, I was hoping to ask a thermodynamics problem, specificially one about heat pumps and coeffiecent of performance. I am wondering if I am missing something. I am given that heat pump is heat a building. Inside temperature is to be maintained at 22 degree celcius, outside is...

    Fountains before electric pumps

    Paris has many large and impressive fountains, as do many large cities sited on mostly flat topography, and I would like to know how these fountains operated so impressively before the advent of electric pumps? I understand gravity pressure concepts such the one used in the Hearst Castle water...

    Neumatics, Pumps, and suspension.

    Hello.. I am attempting to create a "lever arm" to lift things up... Using 1 or 2 Servos. How can I achieve it with Neumatics, Pumps, and/or suspension? Are they better than Gear Trains? The objects are some bottles and things around 2 lbs. Thanks

    Pumps vs. Compressors: Understanding the Differences and Interchangeability

    pumps r compressors? a pump is used to increase the head of the fluid and a compressor is used to increase the pressure of the fluid...this pressure head is a form of energy and is transferable to other form [say increase in vertical height the fluid is raised] so can i use a pump and a...
