- A centrifugal pump is used to pump water through horizontal distance of 150 meters and then raised to an overhead tank 20 meters above. The pipe is smooth with inside diameter of 50 millimeter. The pump head (meter of water) that will be generated at its exit to deliver water at a flow rate of 0.001 cubic meter per second is Blank 1 meter of water.

- A water pump is used to pump the water to a large water tank as shown in Figure. The free surfaces of both water tanks are under atmospheric pressure. Dimensions and local losses are given below. The flow rate of the pump is determined as 16.2 L/min. Calculate the required manometric head of the pump and the required motor power if the total efficiency is 76.2 percent.

If L1 = 800 m, Di = 16 cm, L2 = 200 m, and D2 = 8 cm, determine the difference in water surface elevations (Az) of the reservoirs. The coefficient of contraction (K.) is 0.36, the entrance coefficient is K = 0.5, the exit coefficient is K = 1.0, and assume fully turbulent flow (Xx = 9810 N/m?, Ku = 1.12 x 10-6 m²/s). You do not need to check if the assumption of fully turbulent flow is valid, just assume that it is valid. А Az =? Pipe 1 В Pipe 2 undefinedarrow_forward
- The water level in a tank open to the atmosphere is 20 m above the ground. A hose connected to the bottom of the tank is equipped with a nozzle at the end pointing straight up. In the line leading from the tank to the nozzle is a pump, which increases the pressure of water. If the water jet rises to a height of 27 m from the ground, what is the minimum pressure rise supplied by the pump to the water line?

Water is being pumped from a reservoir at min atmospheric pressure at a rate of 30 ft /s to a tank at atmospheric pressure. The water level in the reservoir is 5 ft below the pump. If the total head loss in the suction pipe is 5 ft, is the pump safe from cavitation effects? If a 2-in schedule 40 pipe of 150 m length was used downstream of the pump, what is the power delivered to the fluid? You may assume that the friction factor in the pipe is equal to 0.004.arrow_forwardEB, Fluid Transport. Water is pumped from a reservoir to top of the mountain through a 1800m long 6-inch schedule 120 pipe at an average velocity of 5 m/s. The pipe discharges into a pressurized storage tank at a level 1500m above the level in the reservoir. The storage tank is maintained at a gauge pressure of 1520 mm Hg and has a total capacity of 2000 m^3. If the overall efficiency of pump is 70% and the cost of electricity to the motor is 5- cent/kW-h, (a) what is the total cost of pumping water to fill the storage tank?

An open water tank has two inlets and one outlet. The water flow rate through the two inlets are ( 0.01 m'/s, and 0.00785 m'/s), and the water flow rate from the outlet is (0.0231 m'/s). Does the water level in the tank inereasing, decreasing, or remains constant? And if it is increasing or decreasing, at what rate this increase or decrease will occurs? Explain.arrow_forwardTwo reservoirs with top surfaces placed on the flat ground and connected with each other with a straight pipe and pump system. The height of the first reservoir is Z1=10 m and the second reservoir is Z2=30 m from the ground level. The pump sucks water from the first reservoir and conveys into the second reservoir. The major head loss along the pipe is hf=40 m with ignoring local head losses. Calculate the manometric head of the pump in a meter of water.arrow_forward
