Problem 5: The 28-in-diameter pump in the Figure at 1170 r/min is used to pump water at 20°C through a piping system at 14,000 gal/min. (a) Determine the required brake horsepower. The average fricti...
Problem 3: The 32-in diameter pump (see Figure below) is to operate at a speed of 1170 rpm to pump water at 60° F from one reservoir to another 120 ft higher through 1500 ft of 18 in ID pipe with a friction factor f = 0.015. If minor losses are ignored; what will the operating point and efficiency be? n = 1170 r/min 800 50 40 NPSH NPSH, ft 700 36-in dia. 30 20 = 600 88% Total head,...
The system below uses a centrifugal pump to circulate water at 19°C, having a vapor pressure of 2320 Pa, from a low reservoir to a higher one through a cast iron pipe with a diameter of 35 cm and surface roughness of 0.25 mm. The minor head losses upstream of the pump are represented by EK1 = 0,6 and downstream by & K2 = 7. After several months of usage, it is noticed that the installation is noisy and consumes...
A 38-in pump is installed for the system below. The pipe (100- cm diameter) has a friction factor of 0.012 and a total length of 20 km. Given that K = 0.5 (pipe entrance) and K. = 1.0 (pipe exit). For water at 80 degrees Fahrenheit, estimate the flow rate (in gpm), the power required (in horsepower, HP), and the net positive suction head required (in ft) to avoid cavitation for the system when the pump running. Elevation = 180...

we want to design a hydraulic system for which we will use a pump with an impeller of 28 inches in diameter, whose characteristic curve is shown, operating with water at 20 degrees Celsius and with an expense of 14000 gal / min. The system will have cast iron pipe 12 inches in diameter and a total length in the portion of the boma suction of 65 feet. Calculate: a) The power of the pump drive in HP. b) The...
Problem 4.049 A pump is used to circulate hot water in a home heating system. Water enters the well-insulated pump operating at steady state at a rate of 0.42 gal/min. The inlet pressure and temperature are 14.7 lbf/in., and 180°F, respectively; at the exit the pressure is 90 lbf/in. The pump requires 1/35 hp of power input. Water can be modeled as an incompressible substance with constant density of 60.58 lb/ft and constant specific heat of 1 Btu/lb OR Neglecting...
