3. Water at 10°C is flowing from a lower to an upper pond through a pipe at the rate of 1.0 m/ s. The pipe length is 1000 m and a pump raises the water a vertical distance of 60 m with a head loss of 12.4 m. a) What is the pump head? b) What is the pump power? e What is the pressure increase through the pump?
Water is flowing full in an 18-inch diameter pipe at a velocity of 8.55 ft/s. Find the discharge, Q, in cfs.
10.20 Calculate the head loss for fresh water at 70°F flowing at 5 ft/s through a concrete pipe of diameter 2 ft and length 1200 ft. If no minor losses occur, what horsepower pump is required to move the fluid along 1200 ft of horizontal pipe?
A water supply system draws from a river at an elevation of 800-feet and delivers the water to a storage reservoir at elevation 820-feet. The supply pipeline is a 1000-foot long, 10-inch diameter, cast iron pipe. A single pump with the pump characteristic curve in Figure 1 is used to fill the reservoir. Determine: a) Sketch the system described in the problem statement. b) Inlet and outlet minor loss coefficients, cite your source of minor loss coefficients. c) The roughness...
1 A pump delivers water from the lower reservoir to the upper reservoir at a rate of 60 L/s. Both the suction and discharge pipes are DN 150 schedule 40steel pipe. The length of the suction pipe leading to the pump is 3.5 m, and 7 m of discharge pipe extend from the pump outlet to the upper tank. There are three standard 900 elbows and a fully open gate valve. The depth of the fluid level inside the lower...
Problem 3 A pipeline delivers water from Reservoir 1 to Reservoir 2 as shown in the following figure. The water levels at Reservoirs 1 and 2 are 50 ft and 20 ft, respectively. A globe valve is installed in the pipeline with a minor head loss coefficient k 10. The pipe from Reservoir 1 to the globe valve is 1000 ft long and 6 inches in diameter. The pipe from the globe valve to Reservoir 2 is also 1000 ft...
2. (20 points) The pump shown in the figure pumps 1.5ft/s of water from the reservoir with H-50ft. The head loss associated with this flow is 10ft. Specific weight of water y equals 62.41b/ft';g 32.2ft/s2. The pipe diameter is constant and equals D' C2 iches) . Compute the power in horsepower necessary to run the pump. .

7.14 The pump in Fig. 7.20 delivers water from the lower to the upper reservoir at the rate of 0.057 m3/s. The energy loss between the suction pipe inlet and the pump is 1.83 m and that between the pump outlet and the upper reservoir is 3.66 m. Both pipes are 6-in Schedule 40 steel pipe. Calculate (a) the pressure at the pump inlet, (b) the pressure at the pump outlet, (c) the total head on the pump, and (d)...
A farmer is to pump water at 70'F from a river to a water storage tank nearby using a 125-ft-long, 5-in-diameter plastic pipe with three flanged 90 smooth bends. The water velocity near the river surface is 6 ft/s, and the pipe inlet is placed in the river normal to the flow direction of water to take advantage of the dynamic pressure. The elevation difference between the river and the free surface of the tank is 12 ft. For a...
Sulphuric acid is flowing through a pipe (2.5 inch diameter, 50 ft length) in a velocity of 0.006 m3 /s. The sulphuric acid has a viscosity of 25 mN.s/m2 and density of 1680 kg/m3 while the roughness of the pipe surface is 1.3 mm. If the operating temperature is 290K, determine fluid flow (i.e. laminar, turbulent or others). (Given that 1 m = 39.37 inch).
