A coolant (specific gravity = 1.2) is pumped through a heat exchanger and control valve at a nominal (desired) flow

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?

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.
