A stream flowing at 141 ft^3/s and have a vertical drop of 16 ft will be used to generate electricity in an off-grid community. The engineers de

A pump takes water at 60°F from a large reservoir and delivers it to the bottom of an open elevated tank 25 ft above the reservoir surface through a 3 inch ID pipe. The inlet to the pump is located 10 ft below the water surface, and the water level in the tank is constant at 160 ft above the reservoir surface. The pump delivers 150 gal/min. If the total loss of energy due to friction in the piping system is 35 ft·lbf/lb. The pump and its motor have an overall efficiency of 55 %. i. Determine Delta Z (Z2 - Z1) in ft. ii. What is the actual shaft work needed for this particular mass flow rate in (ft-lbf)/s. iii. What is the mass flow rate of the water in lbm/s?

A pump is supplying water at the rate of 4ft^3/s it lifts water to a height of 15ft. Determinte the power that the water is being delivered to by the pump  (hp). If the pump has 80% efficiency , find the power that needs to be supplied to the pump (hp)

Water with a mass rate of "M" continuously enters a tank with a diameter of "D". If a hole in the bottom of this tank allows water to escape, find the maximum height of the tank.
