Problem 3: The following data were obtained for flow of 20°C water at 20 m/hr through a badly corroded 5-cm-diameter pipe which slopes downward at an angle of 8°: pı -420 kPa, zi -12 m, p2- 250 kPa,...
A centrifugal pump test yields the following data: Pump Head Flow (m)(L/min) 30 25 20 40 The pump curve can be approximated by a parabola. This pump draws water from a large reservoir. The discharge of the pump feeds 150 m of 1.5 cm inside diameter pipe and then 225 m of 3 cm inside diameter pipe.. The two pipes both have a roughness of 0.5 mm The 3 cm pipe discharges to atmosphere a distance 40 m below the...
Water at 20°C flows at 0.08 m3/s through a pipe and is metered by a 12 cm diameter long-radius flow nozzle (d = 12 cm). If the pressure drop across the nozzle is 25 kPa, what is the diameter of the pipe (D)? Use: Pwater = 998 kg/m3; Hwater = 0.001 kg/m-s. Express your answer in centimeters (cm). D
8-C) As shown below water is pumped and sprayed through a nozzle into the atmosphere at 20 m/s at an elevation 10 m above the reservoir surface. The mass flow rate is 40 kg/s and the volumetric flow rate is 0.040 m3/s. The large diameter inlet pipe total length is 50 m. The pump effidency is 65%. The longer smaller diameter pipe leaving the pump is 200 m in total length. The pipes have different diameters as indicated below. The...
