4.45 A two-tank pump/pipe system has a head requirement of 23.4 ft at a flow rate of 100 gpm. The elevation difference between the fluid surfaces in the tanks is 10 ft. The pump is a Bell & Gossett Series e-80 Model 2.5x2.5x9C operating at 1170 rpm with a 7.5-inch impeller. a. Develop an cquation for the system curve. b. Use a computer program to develop an equation for the 7.5-inch impeller using data read from the pump performance curve...
If a pump with the characteristic curve shown in the accompanying graph (Figure 2) is used to pump water from the lower to the upper tank (water flows from Tank 2 to Tank 1 in this question) shown in Figure 1. Use information provided in Figure 1 and assume that diameter of pipe AB is 600 mm (DAB 600 ) and diameter of pipe BC is 300 mm DBc 300 mm) a. Find the operation point of this systenm b....
(b) The daily design load curve of a residential area is given in the table below. The hydropower facility providing the power has an effective head of 15 m and a plant efficiency of 0.85. What is the minimum daily flow (m3/s) that could meet the demand? What is the minimum required storage capacity (within-day storage) to meet the peak load? If the daily flowrate were 320m3/s, what would be the minimum required storage capacity? Would there be some water...
Question (20 marks Analysis only required Water at 15°C is discharged freely to atmosphere from a reservoir at 18 L/s through two horizontal pipes in series and a pump-motor assembly in between as shown in figure below. First pipe-A is made of cast Iron and is 20m in length with a 60mm dia. The second pipe-B is 35 m in length, has a 40 mm diameter with friction factor 0.0331. The pipe entrance from reservoir is sharp edged. Neglect any...
PAGE 2 ME2135/ME2135E QUESTION 1 A centrifugal pump of 0.37 m diameter, is pumping water (of density 998 kg/m) at 2160 rpm and produces the following performance data (where the symbols used have their usual meaning): Q (m3/s) | 0.0 H (m)105 P (kW) 100 0.05 104 115 0.10 102 135 0.15 0.20 95 202 0.25 85 228 0.30 67 249 100 Determine (a) the best efficiency point (BEP) and (b) the maximum possible discharge estimated from the tabulated performance...

Determine the following The maximum power if one V-belt is used a) The maximum power if 2 V-belts identical to the V-belt in a) are used b) The maximum power if one V-belt with twice the cross sectional area as in a) is used c) Mots The conditions of the system are as follows: Pulley radius = 120 mm =160° f =...
EPT 228 SULIT EPT 228 -10- Question 6 Soalan 6) A heating system in a factory involves the transport of water with temperature of 110 °C ata rate of 0.1 m'/s through a pipe with the same elevation. The length of the pipe is 50 m with diameter of 0.15 m was made from stainless steel (friction factor,fe-0.00829). The fluid pressures at the water heater and receiving point are the same. The water is transported using electrical pump motor with...
6. (a) In piling technology, explain the difference between a "displacement pile" and (2 marks) a "non-displacement pile". (b) Using graph paper, sketch 3 curves illustrating typical trends of variation of pile head resistance, shaft resistance and base resistance with increasing settlement, as expected from load testing a CFA pile in clay. Explain the differences between the three curves (6 marks) (c) A bored cast in-situ pile of 0.6 m diameter by 10 m long is installed through a 6...
A small coastal town in Queensland is subject to an increasing permanent population and also a transient influx of tourists during the summer period. Council already receives frequent complaints of restricted water supply. The water supply system comprises a rising trunk main from the treatment plant A to the service reservoir B, the service reservoir, and service mains to the consumption areas. Two consumption areas C and D at different elevations are gravity supplied from the service reservoir. The service...
