Question
2. A tank, elevated on a 4-ft high wooden platform is exposed to the atmosphere and the minimum liquid level inside it is 1 m. Water is being pumped from the tank. Determine the NPSH of a pump which is connected to it, handling 220, 500 lb/hr water at 537°R via a 5-in schedule 40 steel pipe, 60 ft long. The suction nozzle of the pump is 0.4m above ground level.

- Question 2 A water pump driven by an 800 W electric motor is used to pump water from the ground level to a tank at the rate of 20000 L/hour. Water is being discharged into the tank at 10 meters above the ground; this is the maximum rise this pump can achieve. The water and the ambient temperatures are both 10 °C. The inlet and outlet pipe diameters for the pump are both 8 cm, respectively. Determine: (1)/ The average inlet linear flow velocity of the water; 2) Assuming the efficiency of the electric motor is 95%, calculate the efficieney-of the motor-pump unit; 3) The pressure difference between the inlet and the outlet of the pump.arrow_forwardA water company wants to construct a pumping station, which delivers water from a river source to its large storage tank in the manufacturing plant, which will be used for its process cooling fluid.
