A water tower supplies water through the plumbing in a house. A 2.40-cm-diameter faucet in the house can fill a cylindrical container with a diameter of 40.4 cm and a height of 52.0 cm in 12.0 s. How high above the faucet is the top of the water in the tower? (Assume that the diameter of the tower is so large compared to that of the faucet that the water at the top of the tower does not move.) m

Hydraulics of Sprinkler Nozzle Example// Select the diameter of the nozzle and the working pressure for a sprinkler has a discharge of (126 m2/hour)?
The Figure below gives an example of a network to pump water from a lower reservoir to an upper one. Widely used in buildings, industries and others. It is estimated that a building with 55 apartments of 3 bedrooms each. Consider 2 people. per room. The supply water is pumped from the lower reservoir to the upper one by means of lifting sets. Dimension the discharge and suction line, and the power of the motor-pump set; assuming a probable daily consumption of 2001 per inhabitant, Also consider that the day of greatest consumption is 25% more than normal consumption. The pumps will be capable of repressing the volume consumed daily, in just 6 hours of operation. Assume that the pipe diameter is D=1.3x/* Vē, where X = * and t is the number of hours the pump has been running. 2,0 m curve retention valve record 2,0 m bomb curve h=0 foot valve 2,5 m w o'os
Water is flowing in a 3 m wide rectangular channel. A hydraulic jump occurs and the flow upstream is 360 mm deep while the flow downstream from the jump is 1300 mm deep. A) Find the discharge flowing in the channel. B) Find the energy absorbed by the jump in kW. Please answer correctly
In large buildings, hot water in a water tank is circulated through a loop so that the user doesn't have to wait for all the water in long piping to drain before hot water starts coming out. A certain recirculating loop involves 40-m-long, 1.2-cm diameter plastic (smooth) pipes with six 90" threaded smooth bends and two fully open gate valves. If the average flow velocity through the loop is 2.5 m/s, determine the required power Input for the recirculating pump. Take the average water temperature to be 60°C and the efficiency of the pump to be 60 percent. The density and viscosity of water at 60°C arep=983.3 kg/m3 and u 0.467 x 103 kg/m-s. Plastic pipes are smooth, and thus their roughness is very close to zero, e= 0. The loss coefficient is K 0.9 for a threaded 90" smooth bend and K = 0.2 for a fully open gate valve. The required power input for the recirculating pump is 111 W.

A water tower is a familiar sight in many towns. The purpose of such a tower is to provide storage capacity and to provide sufficient pressure in the pipes that deliver the water to customers. The drawing shows a spherical reservoir that contains 6.35 x 105 kg of water when full. The reservoir is vented to the atmosphere at the top. For a full reservoir, find the gauge pressure that the water has at the faucet in (a) house A and (b) house B. Ignore the diameter of the delivery pipes.
