Fig. Q4 shows a piping arrangement used in a food processing facility to transfer water, at 40 C, from a tank, through a heat exchanger to an elevated tank. A suitable pump is selected which, when in...
A pump transports water from Tank 1 to Tank 2 through a constant-diameter piping system as shown below (not to scale). The flow rate is controlled by two gate valves, the gate valve I controls the main pipeline, while the gate valve II controls the loop line from T-joint A to T-joint B. All pipes are galvanized steel pipe of diameter D = 4 in. It has a total length of Li2= 620 ft from tank 1 to tank 2....
A pump transmits water at 10 °C from the reservoir to an elevated tank L2= 150 m as shown. The loss coefficient in Elevation = 190 m Elevation = 185 m each bend is 0.4 and loss in the pipe Water entrance is Ke = 0.5. There are no L=100 m loss at the pipe exit at the elevated Elevation D -20 cm tank. The pipelines are made of steel. -150 m -- Elevation - 145 m State your assumptions...
7.14 The pump in Fig. 7.20 delivers water from the lower to the upper reservoir at the rate of 0.057 m3/s. The energy loss between the suction pipe inlet and the pump is 1.83 m and that between the pump outlet and the upper reservoir is 3.66 m. Both pipes are 6-in Schedule 40 steel pipe. Calculate (a) the pressure at the pump inlet, (b) the pressure at the pump outlet, (c) the total head on the pump, and (d)...
A water tank filled with solar-heated water at 40°C is to be used for showers in a field using gravity-driven flow. The system includes 39 m of 1.5-cm-diameter galvanized iron piping with four miter bends (90°) without vanes and a wide-open globe valve. If water is to flow at a rate of 1.2 L/S through the shower head, determine how high the water level in the tank must be from the exit level of the shower. Disregard the losses at...
The figure below shows a condenser/cooling tower pipe system needed to remove heat from a water cooled refrigeration condenser and reject the heat to the atmosphere. The amount of heat to be rejected to the atmosphere is 480,000 Btu/hr. The water enters the condenser at 85"F, and the temperature rise of the water through the condenser is 10°F. The total length of the piping in the system is 60 ft. Fittings are as shown. Assume bends to be as shown...
Q4: The pump is used to deliver of water from a river to a storage reservoir. The four pipes are connected in series of Inverse L shape which means the first pipe in vertical direction and others in horizontal direction. The first pipe in vertical position of 500m length of 150 mm diameter cast iron pipe, the second pipe is bend at 90' with a radius of 0.75m, the third pipe in horizontal direction of 100m length of 160mm diameter...
Q4. A pump draws water from a large reservoir and delivers it to another reservoir whose water surface is 10 m higher than the pump centreline and that the pump is 1.5 meter above the suction reservoir. The total suction and deliver pipe used is 21.1 m in length, 9 cm in diameter and has a Darcy friction factor f0.0339. The pump operates at 750 rpm and its characteristic performances are given in table below: Q (m3 s H (m)15...
Please solve a,b,c,d,e,f 1) A water fountain is to be installed at a remote location by attaching a cast iron pipe directly to a water main through which water is flowing. The entrance to the pipe is sharp-edged 15m (K-0.5), and the 15m long piping system involves three 90 bends without vanes (K1.1), a fully open gate valve (K.-0.2), and a fully open angle valve (K-5). If the diameter of the pipe is 2 em and the system is to...
(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 1. 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 Sin diameter cast iron. From the pump to the discharge the pipe...
