11. Water is pumped from a reservoir at a lower elevation to an elevated reservoir by using a suitable pump. The lower reservoir water level have an atmospheric pressure head of I and is at an elevation of 20 ft. while the intake/suction side of the pump is at an elevation of 25 ft. The water is pumped at a rate of 425 gpm in a 6" diameter pipe, friction factor () is 0.017 and the length of pipe is...
Water is pumped from a tank (elev. 110 m) to the top of a hill (elev. 150 m) through 1,000 m of 500-mm diameter steel pipe (ε = 0.0003 m). The pump motor is rated at 150 kW (i.e. brake horsepower). Assume pump efficiency of 70%. a) Develop an equation to determine discharge flow rate by trial and error b) Solve equation developed in part a) c) Briefly explain why a centrifugal pump is appropriate for this application. If answer...
4. Water is pumped from a supply reservoir to a water transmission line (ks0.07 mm) as shown below. The highest point of the transmission line is at point A, located 0.5 km (pipe length) downstream of the supply reservoir, and the lowest point of the transmission line is at point B, located 0.25 km (piple length) downstream of point A If the flow rate through the pipeline is 1.1 m3/s, the diameter of the pipe is 700 mm, and the...
Please help asap with this one In the system below, water is being pumped from the lower reservoir to the upper reservoir. The pipe diameter, pipe length, flowrate and total system head losses are shown on the sketch. Determine the head added by the pump. Assume the losses are uniform along the length of the pipe. Sketch the approx energy grade line. Elev. 132.0 ft Frictional head losses in the pipe are 27.36 ft. Water -Elev. 97.5 Ft Water Q...
Task 1: You were asked to check up the status of the water system. Water at 24 °C is to be pumped from a Lower reservoir with 100 m elevation to another reservoir at a higher elevation 112 m through 150-m-long pipe as shown in Figure (1). The pipe is made of steel, and the diameter of the pipe is equal to 30 cm. Water is to be pumped by a 72% efficient motor-pump combination that draws 33 A of...
Problem 4: Water is being discharged from a reservoir through a turbine, as shown in figure below. The head loss for the 300-mm pipeline is 0.05 m/m (0.05 m per meter of pipe), and it is 0.0017 m/m for the 600-mm pipe a) Determine the elevation of the water surface in the reservoir that should be required in order for the turbine to generate 56 kW of power b) What would be the water elevation required in the reservoir if...
Two large tanks are open to the atmosphere at the top. Water s pumped from the lower tank to the upper tank through a single PVC (smooth) pipe. The relationship between Velocity in the pipe (ft/s) and the pump head (ft) is given. There are no significant minor losses. What is the flow rate, Q (cfs), in the pipe? Pump Coefficients 1.30 sec /ft Pipe Length Inside Pipe Diameter 300 ft 0.250 feet a = 3.24 sec b 107.00 ft...
you can skip task 1 (3) because its a code in matlab. Task 1: You were asked to check up the status of the water system. Water at 24 °C is to be pumped from a Lower reservoir with 100 m elevation to another reservoir at a higher elevation 112 m through 150-m-long pipe as shown in Figure (1). The pipe is made of steel, and the diameter ofthe pipe is equal to 30 cm water is to be pumped...
A pump transmits water at 10 °C from the reservoir to an elevated tank L2= 150 m as shown. The loss coefficient in Elevation = 190 m Elevation = 185 m each bend is 0.4 and loss in the pipe Water entrance is Ke = 0.5. There are no L=100 m loss at the pipe exit at the elevated Elevation D -20 cm tank. The pipelines are made of steel. -150 m -- Elevation - 145 m State your assumptions...
Water is pumped from a lower reservoir to a higher reservoir by a pump that provides 20 kW of shaft power. The free surface of the upper reservoir is 46 m higher than that of the lower reservoir. If the flow rate of water is measured to be0.03 m /s, determine mechanical power that is converted to thermal energy during this process due to frictional effects. 46 m 20 kW Pump 1kW
