A fire-man's pump steadily draws water from a river through a pipe with an inlet of diameter 12cm. A fireman positioned 3m above the pump inlet, holds a nozzle with an exit diameter of 3.5cm that is connected to the pump outlet by a flexible hose. The heat transfer to the surroundings from the pump is 10% of its output when it delivers a flow rate of 0.015m³/s. (a) 4. Draw a sketch of the pipe & pump and include an appropriate system boundary for a control volume analysis of the power requirements of the pump. Assuming steady state flow, calculate the power requirement for the pump to deliver 0.015m³/s in these conditions. Note that the density of water is 998kg/m³ and the gravitational acceleration is 10m/s². (b) [Answer: 2.5kW]

You are asked to calculate the input power requirements of centrifugal pumps. You have two centrifugal pumps. You are required to: A) Determine the input power required for a centrifugal pump that is attached to the end of a pipeline with a height of 50 m to pump water into a storage tank at a flow rate of 8 L/s if its efficiency is 72 %. B) calculate the input power required for a centrifugal pump that have a brake power equal to 0.5 hp and its electrical efficiency is 87 %.
