1. Consider a system with two fire pumps in parallel, where each pump can provide 100% of the required firewater. The two pumps are made by the same manufacturer of the same model and are maintained in the same way. They are both located in the same room. Identify examples of intrinsic and extrinsic dependencies between the two pumps.
Problem 4 (10 points) A pipeline with two pumps (Pump A and Pump B) in series delivers water between two tanks with a total static head of 50 ft.

Chemical Engineering Fluid Mechanics 30. The purpose of a centrifugal pump is to increase the pressure of a liquid in order to move it through a piping system. The pump is driven by a motor, which must provide sufficient power to operate the pump at the desired conditions. You wish to find the pressure developed by a pump operating at a flow rate of 300 gpm with an oil having a specific gravity (SG) of 0.8 and a viscosity of...
