A centrifugal pump is used to pump water at 77ºF from a reservoir whose surface is 20 ft above the centerline of the pump inlet. The Pipe System consists of 67.5 ft of PVC pipe with a 1.2 in ID and negligible average internal roughness height. The length of the pipe from the bottom of the lower tank to the pump inlet is 12 ft. There are several minor losses in the pipe: an acute edge entry (KL = 0.5),...
A pump transports water from Tank 1 to Tank 2 through a constant-diameter piping system as shown below (not to scale). The flow rate is controlled by two gate valves, the gate valve I controls the main pipeline, while the gate valve II controls the loop line from T-joint A to T-joint B. All pipes are galvanized steel pipe of diameter D = 4 in. It has a total length of Li2= 620 ft from tank 1 to tank 2....
A 600mm diameter horizontal pipe of length 2km branches into two pipes of 300mm and 450mm diameter, each 1.6km long (Fig. Q5). The 600mm pipe is at an elevation of 30m and connects reservoir A with water level 50m. The two branched pipes connects reservoir B with water level 100m. A pump is installed in the 600mm pipe and causes the flow from A to B. Calculate the required power of the pump to maintain a flow rate of Im®/s...
PartA The pipe system shown in (Figure 1) consists of a 3-in.-diameter, 100-ft-long galvanized iron pipe, a fully opened gate valve, four elbows, a flush entrance, and a pump with the pump head curve shown in (Figure 2).

Solve Problem 12.3, using the Cross technique. Problem 12.3 In the branched pipe system shown in Fig. 12.8, 850 /min of water at 10°C is flowing in a DN 100 Schedule 40 pipe at A. The flow splits into two DN 50 Schedule 40 pipes as shown and then rejoins at B. Calculate (a) the flow rate in each of the branches and (b) the pressure difference pA-pB. Include the effect of the minor losses in the lower branch of...
QUESTION3 The Figure below (Figure 3) shows a pipe system with a valve and two reservoirs. A pump transports a constant flow rate of Q = 0.1 m3/s of water from reservoir A to reservoir B. At four sections the pipe has bends and the roughness of the pipe is ks = 1.5 mm. The pipe has a diameter D = 34 cm and a total length L = 500 m. The water level in reservoir B is Δh=4.67 m above...
The figure below shows a condenser/cooling tower pipe system needed to remove heat from a water cooled refrigeration condenser and reject the heat to the atmosphere. The amount of heat to be rejected to the atmosphere is 480,000 Btu/hr. The water enters the condenser at 85"F, and the temperature rise of the water through the condenser is 10°F. The total length of the piping in the system is 60 ft. Fittings are as shown. Assume bends to be as shown...
A 38-in pump is installed for the system below. The pipe (100- cm diameter) has a friction factor of 0.012 and a total length of 20 km. Given that K = 0.5 (pipe entrance) and K. = 1.0 (pipe exit). For water at 80 degrees Fahrenheit, estimate the flow rate (in gpm), the power required (in horsepower, HP), and the net positive suction head required (in ft) to avoid cavitation for the system when the pump running. Elevation = 180...
