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?
A centrifugal pump supplies water at the rate of 750 liter/s against manometric head of 15 m of water. Pump running at 800rpm. Losses in impeller and casing of the pump is given by 0.03V₂2 where V₂ is absolute water velocity at impeller out. Manometric efficiency of the pump is 85%. If the flow velocity is constant at 3 m/s and assumed zero whirl at inlet, determine a) Blade angle at outlet b) Impeller diameter at outlet c) Impeller width at outlet if blade thickness is negligible The pump input power if overall efficiency is 75%. d)
3. A centrifugal pump is to be placed above a large, open water tank, as shown in the figure below. Water is pumped at a rate of I cu ft/s. At this flow rate the required net positive suction head, NPSHR, is 15 ft as specified by the pump manufacturer. The water temperature is 80°F and atmospheric pressure is 14.7 psi. Assume that the major head loss between the tank and the pump inlet is due to filter at the pipe inlet having a minor loss coefficient KL.-20. Other losses can be neglected. The pipe on the suction side of the pump has a diameter of 5 in. The water vapor pressure at 80°F is 0.5069 psia and y-62.22 lb/cu.ft. Determine Z1 for cavitation not to occur..

For the single pump-pipe system below, what will be the changes for the operating point if we increase the pipe size but decrease the shaft speed of the pump? EB H₂ O The operating point will remain the same. O The operating point will occur either at a higher discharge or at a lower discharge, depending on the specific influence of each change. O The operating point will occur at a higher discharge. O The operating point will occur at a lower discharge.
Suppose that you are willing to determine the diameter of the water jet impinging to the sink from the kitchen tap.The tap is produced to supply three different flow rates of the low, medium, and high. For each flow rate level, waterthat comes from the tap fills the beaker with a volume of 30 mL in 10 s, 6 s, and 2 s, respectively. The outlet of the tapis 13 mm, and the distance between the tap outlet and the sink is 53 mm. Determine the diameters of the water jetimpinging on the sink at three given flow rates.

Problem 2 A pump is needed in a water supply system. The water is being pumped out of a ground-level storage reservoir with water surface elevation of 149.27 ft and needs to pass over a hill 2 miles away, where the pipe centerline is at elevation 200.00 ft. The flowrate is 22 mgd, pipe diameter is 24 inches, Hazen-Williams friction factor is 110, and pressure at the crest of the hill must be at least 20 psi. (a) What head must the pump provide? (b) How much power will be added to the water? (c) What size motor should be purchased if the pump/motor combination has an efficiency of 80 percent?
A system pumps water from a lower reservoir to a higher reservoir. The pipe diameter is 0.245 m and the pipe lengths are L1= 5 m, L2= 3 m, L3= 3 m, and L4= 0.3 m. The impeller of the centrifugal pump has a diameter of 0.5 m and operates at 900 rpm. The uniform blade height is 56 mm. The water enters the pump parallel to the pump shaft with a flow rate of 0.19 m3/s. Take viscosity as 0.00112 N s/m2. What would be the shaft power required to turn the impeller if the exit blade angle is 50 degrees. Work to 4 significant digits. Enter all values using base units or their combinations, i.e. m, m/s, Pa, N. Do not use multiples as e.g. mm, kPa. You can use values with exponents, such as 0.12e3.
Water recirculates at a volume flow rate of 0.4524 ft3/min from the blade outlet to the impeller, and shaft sealing losses are negligible. A centrifugal pump has a hydraulic efficiency of 95% and a mechanical efficiency of 93%, respectively. Calculate the pump efficiency in percent if the pump delivers water at a flow rate of 12 ft3/min.
