Question
From a reservoir whose surface elevation is at 30 m, water is pumped to an elevated reservoir at an elevation of 95 m. The head loss in the 60 cm diameter suction pipe is 10 m and that of the 50 cm discharge pipe is 15 m. Determine the following if the discharge is to be maintained at 480 liters per second. Assume total head loss between the two reservoirs is 20 m. Compute the power input of the pump assuming it operates at 80% efficiency.

- Situation 7: From reservoir A whose water surface elevation is 225 m. Water is pumped through a 350 mm pipe across a valley at a second reservoir B at a elevation of 240 m. During pump, the pressure is 570 kPa at a point C and at elevation of 195 m.

A centrifugal pump installation draws water from an open reservoir having a water elevation of 5 m above the pump centerline and delivers the water to another open reservoir 80 m above pump centerline. The rate of discharge is 600 li/min. The suction pipe has a diameter of 200 mm while that of the discharge pipe diameter is 150 mm. The friction loss at the suction is estimated to be 4 times the velocity head at the 200 mm suction pipe. At the discharge, the friction loss is estimated to be 21 times the velocity head at the 150 mm discharge pipe. If the overall mechanical efficiency is 77%, estimate the brake power input to thepump. a. brake power Answer : ____________________ kWarrow_forward
- 8. Energy Equation Water at the Lake William Dam enters a hydraulic turbine through a 30 cm diameter pipe at a rate of 0.6 m³/s and exits through a 25-cm diameter pipe. For the system, elevation effects are negligible and the pressure drop across the turbine is measured to be 148 kPa. For a combined turbine-generator efficiency of 83 percent, calculate (a) hurbine and (b) Wubrine- You look in the FE handbook and see: W turbine = 7/turbine-gen”ightutine, e turbine-genhtubine, e 30 cm diameter 25 cm diameter Turbine Generatorarrow_forwardPlease include complete solutionarrow_forwardThe pumping system below is used in a manufacturing process involving glycerin.
