Review Problems
8-61 Geothermal water is supplied to a city through stainless steel pipes at a specified rate. The electric
power consumption and its daily cost are to be determined, and it is to be assessed if the frictional heating
during flow can make up for the temperature drop caused by heat loss.
Assumptions 1 The flow is steady and incompressible. 2 The entrance effects are negligible, and thus the
flow is fully developed. 3 The minor losses are negligible because of the large length-to-diameter ratio and
the relatively small number of components that cause minor losses. 4 The geothermal well and the city are
at about the same elevation. 5 The properties of geothermal water are the same as fresh water. 6 The fluid
pressures at the wellhead and the arrival point in the city are the same.
Properties The properties of water at 110C are = 950.6 kg/m 3, = 0.25510-3 kg/ms, and Cp = 4.229
kJ/kgC (Table A-9). The roughness of stainless steel pipes is 210-6 m (Table 8-3).
Analysis (a) We take point 1 at the well-head of geothermal resource and point 2 at the final point of
delivery at the city, and the entire piping system as the control volume. Both points are at the same
elevation (z2 = z2) and the same velocity (V1 = V2) since the pipe diameter is constant, and the same
pressure (P1 = P2). Then the energy equation for this control volume simplifies to

Therefore, the pumps will consume 5118 kW of electric power to overcome friction and maintain flow.
(b) The daily cost of electric power consumption is determined by multiplying the amount of power used
per day by the unit cost of electricity,

Therefore, the temperature of water will rise at least 0.55C, which is more than the 0.5C drop in
temperature (in reality, the temperature rise will be more since the energy dissipation due to pump
inefficiency will also appear as temperature rise of water). Thus we conclude that the frictional heating
during flow can more than make up for the temperature drop caused by heat loss.
Discussion The pumping power requirement and the associated cost can be reduced by using a larger
diameter pipe. But the cost savings should be compared to the increased cost of larger diameter pipe.

(c) The energy consumed by the pump (except the heat dissipated by the motor to the air) is eventually
dissipated as heat due to the frictional effects. Therefore, this problem is equivalent to heating the water by
a 5118 kW of resistance heater (again except the heat dissipated by the motor). To be conservative, we
consider only the useful mechanical energy supplied to the water by the pump. The temperature rise of
water due to this addition of energy is

Therefore, the temperature of water will rise at least 1.08C, which is more than the 0.5C drop in
temperature (in reality, the temperature rise will be more since the energy dissipation due to pump
inefficiency will also appear as temperature rise of water). Thus we conclude that the frictional heating
during flow can more than make up for the temperature drop caused by heat loss.

Analysis We need to determine the flow rate of air for the worst case scenario. Therefore, we assume the
inlet temperature of air to be 50C, the atmospheric pressure to be 70.12 kPa, and disregard any heat
