A farmer needs to purchase a pump to bring water from a well at a rate of 4 L/s to irrigate his crops. The water table in the aquifer is at a depth 20 m below the ground surface at the extraction site. From the extraction site, water is pumped to a storage tank located 58 m above the well. Altogether, the needed piping has a length of 420 m and all lines are 5 cm plastic piping. There are many elbows, connectors, ect. with a total minor loss coefficient of 12. Assuming the pump will have an efficiency of 0.75, calculate the rated pump power the farmer needs, in kW.

Storage tank 18 m Pump Water is pumped from a lake to a storage tank 18 m above at a rate of 64 L/s while consuming 21.2 kW of electric power. Disregarding any frictional losses in the pipes and any changes in kinetic energy, determine (a) the overall efficiency of the pump-motor unit and (b) the pressure difference between the inlet and the exit of the pump. b) AP- a) 1 kPa

A farmer is to pump water at 70'F from a river to a water storage tank nearby using a 125-ft-long, 5-in-diameter plastic pipe with three flanged 90 smooth bends. The water velocity near the river surface is 6 ft/s, and the pipe inlet is placed in the river normal to the flow direction of water to take advantage of the dynamic pressure. The elevation difference between the river and the free surface of the tank is 12 ft. For a...

3- Assume a pumped hydro energy storage arrangement that pumps up water from a low- level water reservoir to a higher-level reservoir to store energy. The water then is running back from the top reservoir down to the low reservoir through the pipe by passing a turbine. Assume a reasonable case of your choice and calculate the efficiency of this arrangement for storing energy (i.e. the electrical energy delivered by the turbine divided by the electrical energy used by the...
