A pump draws water from a large open sump through a short length of the suction pipe. The water is delivered through a 21.1 m length of 9 cm diameter pipe and via a submerged exit into an open tank. A control valve is installed in the delivery pipe, for which f = 0.0085. Dissipation other than friction and the loss at the valve may be ignored. The bottom of the tank is 10 m above the free surface of the water in the sump. What power will be required in kW if the water will be delivered to 1.5m above the pump?
A vertical circular stack 30 m high converges uniformly from a diameter of 6 m at the bottom and 4.5 m at the top. Gas with a unit weight of 0.12 N per cubic meter enters the bottom of the tank with a uniform velocity of 0.334 m/sec enters the stack. The unit weight increases by 7.5 percent every 2 meters. Find the velocity of flow at every 5 meters along the stack. Graph velocity at the abscissa against height at the ordinate (PLEASE USE COMPLETE SOLUTION AND FIGURES)

SITUATION 4: Water is drained from a large reservoir using two horizontal pipes connected in series. The first pipe is 20 m long and has a 10-cm diameter, while the second pipe is 35 m long and has a 4- cm diameter. The water level in the reservoir is 18 m above the center line of the pipe. The pipe entrance is a sharp edged, and the contraction between the two pipes is sudden. Neglecting the effect of the kinetic energy correction factor, determine the discharge rate of water from the reservoir. Assume the friction factor for all pipes is equal to 0.02 and the loss coefficient is 0.05 for a sharp edged entrance, and is 0.46 for sudden contraction. 18 m Oil tank 20 m 35 m
A pump is used to move water from a lake to a large industrial tank, which is 30 m higher than the reservoir surface through a pipe 300 m long at a flow rate of 1 m³/s. The pipes are uniform and having a diameter of 60 cm. The friction factor in the pipe is given as f = 0.05. The vapour pressure of water can be taken as 4780 kPa.

Water is flowing in AF pipe (Figure 1) at a velocity of 2 m/s and a pressure of 102400 Pa, the pipe length is 100 m. If the water pressure needs to be at a pressure of 1.6 atm on a lower level. What should be the different in elevation between the upper and lower levels in order to achieve this pressure? Take the density of water 1000 kg/m3 and gravity is 9.81 m/s2, consider the energy loss.
