A large container filled with water and uncovered for use in fighting fires in an ethylene production plant. Water from this tank is pumped into the nozzle when needed use. This fire suppression system is designed to be able to transmit 1890 L/min of water at a pressure of 15 bar (relative pressure). If we ignore the difference in height between the water level in the tank and pump, there is no change in diameter of pipe and nozzle, pump efficiency is 70%. Ask how much work (hp) is required to the pump to achieve the desired pressure and flow would like?
6. A Compressor of a compressed air system displaces air at 25 cubic meters per minute when the
intake pressure is 101.4 kPa. Compute the time required to pump up a 9 cubic meter receiver
from 550 kPa to 828 kPa if the average volumetric efficiency of the compressor is 70%
A small centrifugal pump is used to deliver 0.005 m3/s of water to level 2 as shown in Fig. 2. Neglecting the losses, determine the required power input to the pump if its efficiency is equal to 70%.

- A fire starts in an apartment building in downtown Boston. When the firefighters arrive, they immediately get to work putting out the fire using a fire hose. The water for the fire hose is provided by a fire hydrant at ground level. Assume that the velocity of the liquid coming from the fire hydrant is 1.6 m/s, and that the pressure at the hose nozzle is atmospheric pressure (101000 Pa). a. The firefighters start with the ground floor, so there is no change in height between the fire hydrant and the hose nozzle. If the velocity of the water coming out of the nozzle is 12.8 m/s, find the pressure at the fire hydrant in units of Pa. b. After the ground floor fire is put out, another fire is spotted on another floor. A firefighter carrying the hose is lifted on a platform to the same height as the fire, which is 44.35 m above the ground. Assuming that the pressure found in part a) remains constant, what would be the new velocity of the water coming out of the nozzle at this new height?arrow_forward3.
