An engineer has designed a system in which a positive-displacement pump is used to pump water from an atmosphere tank into a pressurized tank operating at 150 psig. A control valve is installed between the pump discharge and the pressurized tank. With the pump running at a constant speed and stroke length, 350 gpm of water is pumped when the control valve is wide open and the pump discharge pressure is 200 psig.
(a) If the control valve is pinched back to 60 percent open, determine the water flow rate.

1 A pump delivers water from the lower reservoir to the upper reservoir at a rate of 60 L/s. Both the suction and discharge pipes are DN 150 schedule 40steel pipe. The length of the suction pipe leading to the pump is 3.5 m, and 7 m of discharge pipe extend from the pump outlet to the upper tank. There are three standard 900 elbows and a fully open gate valve. The depth of the fluid level inside the lower...
(Q1) The piping system shown here has a pump that delivers 10 hp to the fluid ant a flow rate of 55 gpm of water at 80 F. Neglecting other losses, (a) evaluate the friction losses in the 272 ft-long discharge pipe and in the 12 ft- long suction pipe. (b) Calculate the pressure (psig) on top of the discharge tank. ...(25 marks) an 7 1.5 in Schedule 80 pipe 220 2 in Schedule 80 pipe
Water at room temperature is pumped through a smooth pipe. The pipe has diameter of 10cm. The total length is10 km. The discharge is 80 m3 /h. A pump is installed at the inlet. At the exit of pump, the absolute pressure of the water is 25 atm. The exit exposes to the atmosphere and its elevation is 100 m higher than the inlet. Estimate the frictional head loss hf.

A pump carries water at a temperature of 30 ° C from one tank (A) to another (B). The diameter of the pipe leaving tank A and reaching the pump is 4 inches. The diameter of the pipe leaving the pump and reaching tank B is 3 inches. The pump motor increases the fluid pressure by 3 kgf / cm2 (ΔP), and generates a power per unit of mass of 300 J / kg. Calculate the height difference (ΔZ) between...

A centrifugal pump is used to pump water at 77ºF from a reservoir whose surface is 20 ft above the centerline of the pump inlet. The Pipe System consists of 67.5 ft of PVC pipe with a 1.2 in ID and negligible average internal roughness height. The length of the pipe from the bottom of the lower tank to the pump inlet is 12 ft. There are several minor losses in the pipe: an acute edge entry (KL = 0.5),...
