1/9 1 Piping system (14 points) Water is pumped from a reservoir to a large receiver vessel which is maintained at p4 6 bar (absolute) through the operation of the pump and a high pressure nitrogen supply that bleeds into the tank through a regulator. The water enters through an opening at the top of the vessel. A drain is provided at the low point in the system. Elevations are as shown. All valves are gate valves (k = 0.15)...
In regards to question 3, will cavitation occur based on the NPSH available vs NPSH required? Water is pumped from a reservoir to a large receiver vessel which is maintained at p3 = 6 bar through the operation of the pump and a high pressure nitrogen supply that bleeds into the tank through a regulator. The water enters through an opening at the top of the vessel. A drain is provided at the low point in the system. Elevations are...
1. Water is pumped from a low reservoir to a high reservoir that is 20 m higher in elevation. The water is flowing at 1.5 m/s through a 305 mm internal diameter piping system. The water is at 18 degrees C. There are 1,000 m of piping, six standard 45 degree bends, two standard 90 degree bends, a branch flow tee, three gate valves, a swing check valve, a square inlet and a square outlet. The piping and valves are...
Problem 5. Water is being pumped from the lower reservoir to the upper reservoir shown below in Figure 5. Losses in this system follow the Darcy-Weisbach formula with B = 2 and the resistance coefficients in the two pipes are marked on the figure. The pump characteristic curve is given by the following equation: hp = 100-8260° where the head is in meters and the discharge Q is in m/s. Determine the discharge Q in the piping system using two...
Water (p=998kg/m^3, u=0.001Pa*s) flows from reservoir A to reservoir B through the piping system shown. Each elbow has a minor loss coefficient of 1.2. Each valve has a minor loss coefficient of 3.2. The entrance and exit are both sharp edged. Determine the flow rate L/min. You now need to modify the piping system to increase the flow rate to 100L/min by reducing the length of the 25mm pipe. What must new length of the 25mm pipe be? 86. Water...
) 25 points - Water flows in a piping system a section of which is shown below.Pipe is 30 mm ID commercial steel pipe. Velocity of flow is 1.6 m/s and is constant throughout. Pressure at Pt is 200 kPa. All the valves are fully open gate valves, all the elbows are regular 90° threaded. For water, p:1000 kg/m3, 0.00108 N-s/m2. Other necessary data is given on the diagram. Assume the flow is incompressible and steady. Determine the volume flow...
1 Award: 10.00 points used to pump water from one large reservoir to another large reservoir that is at a higher elevation. The free surfaces of both reservoirs A water pump as sketched. The dimensions are provided in the fiqure, but all minor losses are neglected. The elevation difference is 10.85 m. The pump's performance is approximated by the expression exposed to atmospheric pressure Havailable = Ho- aV2 water column, coefficient a 0.0678 m/Lpm2, the available pump head Havailable is...
The piping system shown in the Figure (which does not show details of all the fittings) is used to connect a large reservoir to a pump where it is then pumped to a small wilderness hostel. The pipe is 2-in. I.D. cast iron and must deliver 80 gal/min of 60°F water. The 300 ft long pipeline contains four swing check valves and five 90° standard elbows. All connections are threaded. Find the head loss between points 1 and 2. Well-rounded...

Everything I have for this question is attached. water is being pumped from a reservoir to an upper tank whose surface is 100 feet nigher. Both surfaces are open to the atmosphere. The system will be operated m Leadville, Colorado where g = 32.12 ft/s. The system consists of the following: • 800 feet of 3-nom sch 40 commercial steel pipe. ID : 3.068 in. • An inward projecting entrance. K = 160 km 1,0 • A projecting exit.kohool Six...
