Getting Started: See prior homework templates fFor sample code to import the pint, CoolProp, numpy, sympy, and matplotlib modules.


Problem 1. Water at 20 $^\circ$C is pumped at a constant rate of 9 m$^3$/hour from a large reservoir resting on the floor to the open top of an experimental absorption tower. The point of discharge is 5 m above the floor, and friction losses in the 50-mm diameter pipe from the reservoir to the tower amount to 2.5 J/kg. At what height in the reservoir must the water level be kept if the pump can deliver only 0.1 kW? (Hint: Find $H$.)

Problem 2. Water enters a 100-mm-ID 90$^\circ$ elbow at a velocity of 6 m/s and a gauge pressure of 70 N/m$^2$. Neglecting friction, what are the magnitude and the direction of the force vector that must be applied to the elbow to keep in in position without allowing it to move?
