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),...

Determine the setting of a centrifugal pump, given that flow rate = 2.4 m/min; diameter of intake pipe = 160 mm; entrance losses = one velocity head in suction pipe; required NPSH = 42 kPa; water temperature = 30°C N D1, D2 : inlet and outlet diameters of impeller (rotor) b : impeller width 0,6 : inlet and outlet impeller vane angles (degrees) : speed of rotation of impeller (and its driver) in rpm V, V :tangential and radial...
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 friction factor is 0.018. (b) If there is 65 ft of 12-in-diameter pipe upstream of the pump, how far below the surface should the pump inlet be placed to avoid cavitation? Given that the water at 20 °C has a specific weight of 62.4 lbf/ft and vapor...
Problem 14.43 Water at T = 25°C is drawn from an underground detention tank and discharged into a drain using a 9-in-long pipe and pump (Figure 1). The pipe has a diameter of 100 mm and a friction factor of f = 0.02. The atmospheric pressure is 101.3 kPa. The velocity through the pipe is 4 m/s and h = 5 m. Neglect minor losses. Part A Determine the available NPSH. Express your answer using three significant figures. IVO AQ...
(100 points) Water at 25°C is pumped at a rate of 0.075m'/s from a reservoir 20m above a pump to a free discharge (this means discharged to atmosphere) 35m above the pump. The pressure on the intake side of the pump is 150kPa and the pressure on the discharge side of the pump is 450kPa. The pipe between the reservoir and the pump is 3 meters of 5in diameter cast iron. From the pump to the discharge the pipe is...
