2 Underground water is to be pumped by a 80 percent efficient 10-kW submerged pump to a pool whose free surface is X m above the underground water level (see Figure 2). The diameter of the pipe is 10 cm on the intake side and 8 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...
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...
Liquid water at 120 kPa enters a 7 kW pump where its pressure is raised to 4.7 MPa. If the elevation difference between the exit and the inlet levels is 10 m, determine the highest mass flow rate of liquid water this pump can handle. Neglect the kinetic energy change of water, and take the specific volume of water to be 0.001 m3/kg The highest mass flow rate of liquid water is kg/s
A: Assuming that the pump is 50% efficient, what is the
highest elevation h that water from the fountain reaches assuming
that loss is otherwise neglible? Note that the water resevoir is at
the elevation as the nozzle.
B:If the nozzle is doubled, by what factor will h change if
the system is not otherwise changed?

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?
(5 pts) A pump is pumping water from a lake to the top of a mountain through a constant- diameter pipe. Water exits the pipe at a volumetric flow rate of 0.04 m/s. The vertical distance between the lake surface and the pipe exit at the top of the mountain is 100 m. The diameter of the pipe is 10 cm. All mechanical energy losses are negligible and the flow is steady and incompressible. (Water density-I g/cm, ?-I.) Determine a)...
