Water from a pond is to be pumped into a reservoir at an elevation of 17 m. Approximately 30 m^3 of water is needed in the morning for irrigating a greenhouse over a period of one hour. The same amount and irrigation rate are needed again in the afternoon. The piping passage requires twelve 90-degree elbows and seven Tees. Design a workable system.

1. Water is pumped from a low reservoir to a high reservoir that is 20 m higher in elevation. The water is flowing at 1.5 m/s through a 305 mm internal diameter piping system. The water is at 18 degrees C. There are 1,000 m of piping, six standard 45 degree bends, two standard 90 degree bends, a branch flow tee, three gate valves, a swing check valve, a square inlet and a square outlet. The piping and valves are...
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 at 70°F flows by gravity from a large reservoir at a high elevation to a smaller one through a 60-ft-long, 2-in-diameter cast iron piping system that includes four standard flanged elbows, a well-rounded entrance, a sharp-edge exit and a fully open gate value. Take the free surface of the lower reservoir as the reference level and the elevation of the higher reservoir is 12.5 ft. a) Make a schematic of the problem b) Determine the flow rate (ft/min)
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...

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...
Problem 5. Water is being pumped from the lower reservoir to the upper reservoir shown below in Figure 5. Losses in this system follow the Darcy-Weisbach formula with B = 2 and the resistance coefficients in the two pipes are marked on the figure. The pump characteristic curve is given by the following equation: hp = 100-8260° where the head is in meters and the discharge Q is in m/s. Determine the discharge Q in the piping system using two...

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 that is 80% efficient pumps water from the lower tank to the upper tank at a flow rate of 0.01 m/s through 70 meters of 10-cm diameter pipe. In this system there are two regular, screwed 90 degree elbows and a fully open screwed angle valve. Assume the reservoir exits and entrances are sharp. The friction factor,f, of the pipe is 0.02. What horsepower pump is needed to achieve this flow rate? Use: Pwater = 998 kg/m2; Mwater...
Q3 (40 pts): Water is pumped through a 60-m-long, 0.3-m-diameter pipe from a lower reservoir to a higher reservoir, which has a water surface 10 m above the lower one. When the pump adds 40 kW to the water the flowrate is 0.20 m/s. Assume the following coefficients of minor losses: • Entrance: Kentrance = 0.5 Exit: Kexit = 1 Each elbow: Kelbow = 1.5 • Valve: K= 6 Part A (20 pts) Determine the pipe roughness ε. Part B...
