QUESTION 4 The figure below shows a fluid flow system that is designed to pump water at 20 °C from a lower vented reservoir to an elevated vented tank. Note that the drawing is not to scale as the dimensions of the reservoirs are very large relative to those of the piping system. The suction line entering the pump is specified as 20 m of 3½" schedule 40 commercial steel pipe; the discharge line from the pump is 180 m of 2%" schedule 40 commercial steel pipe. 15 m 3 m 31/2-in Schedule 40 steel pipe Fully open gate valve 21/2-in Schedule 40 steel pipe Flanged regular 90⁰ elbows Pump Flow Swing-type check valve valve Butterfly (K butterfly = 0.8) a. Starting from the Bernoulli equation (in 'head' form) for the situation where the liquid levels in the two reservoirs are reference points 1 and 2, derive the correct equation for pump head Hpump (m) in terms of volumetric flow rate Q (m³/s) and other process variables (e.g. z, f, L, D, K). b.

6. A pump draws water from a sump through a vertical 6" pipe. The pump has a horizontal discharge pipe 4" in diameter that is 10.6 ft above the water level in the sump. While pumping 1.25 cfs, gages near the pump at entrance and discharge read -4.6 psi and +25.6 psi, respectively. The discharge gage is 3.0 ft above the suction gage. Compute the horsepower output of the pump and the head lost in the 6" suction pipe.
Calculate the power supplied to the pump shown if its efficiency is 75%. Water is at 25 degrees Celsius is flowing at the rate of 50.0 m3/h. The suction linf is a standard DN 100 Schedule 40 steel pip, 15m long. The total length of DN 50 Schedule 40 steel pipe in the discharge line is 200m. The elbows are tight, the entrance to the pipe is flush and the globe valve is completely open. Draw the line of total and piezometric heights.
Problem 2. Water at 150°F is pumped at the rate of 60 gal/min from a reservoir at atmospheric pressure. The gauge pressure at the end of the discharge line is 42 psi. The discharge point is 12 ft above the level is the reservoir and the suction line is 6 ft above the level of the reservoir. The discharge line is a 1 ½ in. nominal dimeter steel pipe with a schedule number of 80. The pressure drop due to friction in the suction line is known to be 0.8 psi, and that in the discharge line is 7.2 psi. The mechanical efficiency of the pump is 70%. Calculate (a) the developed head of the pump and (b) the total power input. (c) If the pump manufacturer specifies a required NPSH of 8 ft, will the pump be suitable for this service?
