3. A pump is attached to a fire hydrant to produce a jet that rises to a minimum height of 24 m at a rate of 60 L/s. The diameter is 70 mm and the pressure is estimated as 90 kPa at the attachment. The hose attached to the pump is 70 mm in diameter and 1.5 m long with a discharge nozzle at the end. The nozzle is inclined at an angle of 45 degrees to the horizontal. If friction losses are neglected, estimate the minimum power that the pump can supply. Jet 24 m

The allowable Net Positive Sustion Head (NPSH) for a pump provided by the manufacturer for a flow of 0.05 m³/s is 3.3 m. The temperature of water is 30° C (vapour pressure head absolute = 0.44 m), atmosphere pressure is 100 kPa absolute and the head loss from the reservoir to pump is 0.3 N-m/N. Find the maximum height of the pump above the sustion reservoir.

(b) A water turbine model is constructed at ratio of 1:8 with power system of 10 kW at speed of 555 rpm under a head of 2.5 m. Overall efficiency for both model and prototype is assumed at 0.93. (i) Detemine the specifie speed. mine t); (ii) If the prototype is run under a head of 25 m, calculate its rotational speed, power and discharge.
A 30 cm pipe is connected by a reducer to a 10 cm pipe. points 1 and 2 are along the same elevation. the pressure at 1 is 200 Kpa. the flow is 30 litres/s and the energy lost between 1 and 2 is equivalent to 20 Kpa. Compute the pressure at 2 if the liquid flowing is water.
For the setup shown in the figure :
Design a pipe to supply water from the elevated tank to the demand point at a discharge rate of 0.05 m3/s. Use Galvanized Iron pipe and assume water temperature as 15°C. Minor losses can be neglected due to smooth transitions.
Question is in figure
