90.Water is pumped from the reservoir with a surface elevation of 200 m across the valley to another reservoir of surface elevation 216 m through a pipe line of 1300 m long and 30 cm diameter if during pumping the pressure is 5.6 kg/cm2 at a point half way along the pipe and at an elevation of 168 m. Compute the discharge and power of the pump taking friction factor as 0.02 neglect minor losses.
Two reservoirs 1500 m apart have a water surface elevation difference of 18 m. A cast iron pipe with >= 0.26 mm connects the two reservoirs. The entrance is square-edged. The pipe diameter is 0.5 m. Water at 20°C flows under the action of gravity between the 2 reservoirs. A gate valve (Kv = 10 fully open) controls the flow between reservoirs. Determine the discharge when the gate valve is fully open.
Pump delivers 0.05 m/s flow of 40°C water, and the intake pipe L = 4m & D = 20 cm. The pump intake is located 10 m above the water surface level in the reservoir.

Water is pumped up from a reservoir to a smaller holding tank. If the flow rate through the pipe is 50 LPM, find the NPSH available immediately before the pump. The length of the pipe from the reservoir to the pump is 13.1 meters, and its diameter is 2.8 cm. The distance is h2=6.8 m. Assume a friction factor of 0.021. The vapor pressure of water at the current temperature is 2,399 Pa. Current atmospheric pressure is 95,194 Pa. The density of water is 991 kg/m^3

Hydraulics
A Francis radial-flow hydroturbine (inward) has the following dimensions: r2=2.00 m, r₁=1.30 m, b2=0.85 m, and b1=2.10 m. The runner blade angles are ß2= 66° and B1= 18.5° at the turbine inlet and outlet, respectively. The runner rotates at N=100 rpm. The volume flow rate at design conditions is 80 m³/s. Irreversible losses are neglected in this preliminary analysis. Calculate the angle a2 through which the wicket gates should turn the flow, where az is measured from the radial direction at the runner inlet. Calculate the swirl angle ai, where an is measured from the radial direction at the runner outlet. Predict the power output (MW) and required net head (m).
