A pump is pumping water at a flow rate of 1200 litres per minute. In the pump the mechanical energy of the water increases by 250 J/kg. The density of water is 1000 kg/m3. a) Determine the pressure difference between the pump outlet and the pump inlet. Assumptions: there are no frictional losses in the pump, and differences in velocity and elevation between inlet and outlet of the pump can be neglected. b) Show that the mechanical power added to...
A pump increases the water pressure from 100 kPa at the inlet to 900 kPa at the outlet. Water enters this pump at 15 degree C through a 1-cm-diameter opening and exits through a 1.5-cm-diameter opening. Determine the velocity of the water at the inlet and outlet when the mass flow rate through the pump is 0.5 kg/s. Will these velocities change significantly if the inlet temperature is raised to 40 degree C?

(2) A pump is located H1-2 m above the water surface of a lake. The pump has an intake pipe diameter of D-20 cm and the head loss in the pipe that runs from the lake to the pump is hi 0.5 m. The outlet pipe diameter is d-30 cm. The pump has an efficiency of n 0.88 and uses P-15,000 ft.lb/s to pump water to a pond H2- 40 m above the lower lake surface. The head loss in...
Underground water is to be pumped by a 78 percent efficient 5-kW submerged pump to a pool whose free surface is 30 m above the underground water level. The diameter of the pipe is 7 cm on the intake side and 5 cm on the discharge side. Determine (a) the maximum flow rate of water and (b) the pressure difference across the pump. Assume the elevation difference between the pump inlet and the outlet and the effect of the kinetic...
