The water pump, as shown in the figure below, maintains a pressure of 6.5 psig at point 1. There is a filter, a half-open disk valve, and two regular screwed elbows. There are 80 ft of 4-inch diameter commercial steel pipe. For water, take ρ = 1.94 slug/ft3 and μ = 2.09E−5 slug/ft⋅s. Take kvalve ≈ 2.8, kelbow ≈ 0.64, kexit ≈ 1, and kvalve ≈ 0 (when the disk valve wide open). If the flow rate is 0.55 ft3/s, what is the loss coefficient of the filter? Round the answer to three decimal places.

As shown in the figure we are dealing with a pipe system in which there are 125 ft of 2-in pipe, 75 ft of 6-in pipe, and 150 ft of 3-in pipe, all cast iron. There are two 90° elbows and an open globe valve. If the exit elevation is zero, what horsepower is extracted by the turbine when the flow rate is 0.16 ft3/s of water at 20°C? Elevation 100 sudden expansion from 2" to 3": KL =0.79 2...

(100 points) Water at 25°C is pumped at a rate of 0.075m's from a reservoir 20m above a pump to a free 1. discharge (this means discharged to atmosphere) 35m above the pump. The pressure on the intake side of the pump is 150kPa and the pressure on the discharge side of the pump is 450kPa. The pipe between the reservoir and the pump is 3 meters of Sin diameter cast iron. From the pump to the discharge the pipe...
