Question:

A coolant (specific gravity = 1.2) is pumped through a heat exchanger and control valve at a nominal (desired) flow rate of qd = 0.6 m3/min. The total pressure drop over this heat exchanger system (including piping and fittings) is constant at 450 kPa. The pressure drop over the system without the control valve, ΔPs, is proportional to the flow rate squared. Its nominal value at the desired flow rate is ΔPsd = 200 kPa. The control valve is to be designed so that the nominal flow rate is 2/3 of the maximum flow rate when the valve is completely open. Based on this information, what value of the valve coefficient Cv should be specified?

I am an experienced Mathematics and Statistics tutor with 10 years of experience teaching students and working professionals. I love teaching students who are passionate to learn subjects or wants to understand any mathematics and statistics concept at graduation or master’s level. I have worked with thousands of students in my teaching career. I have helped students deal with difficult topics and subjects like Calculus, Algebra, Discrete Mathematics, Complex analysis, Graph theory, Hypothesis testing, Probability, Statistical Inference and more. After learning from me, students have found Mathematics and Statistics not dull but a fun subject. I can handle almost all curriculum of mathematics. I did B.Sc (mathematics), M.Sc (mathematics), M.Tech (IT) and am also Gate (CS) qualified. I have worked in various college and school and also provided online tutoring to American and Canadian students. I look forward to discussing with you and make learning a meaningful and purposeful

In Physics, a force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. In this video, the concept of force and torque is demonstrated with the practical application of changing the flat tire of the car.
