Question

Water is being pumped from an atmospheric source on the ground at the rate of 200 liter/minute to a pressurized tank on top of an office building through a constant diameter pipe.  The discharge to the pressurized tank is 20 meters off the ground and the tank has a gauge pressure of 5 bar.  Ignoring frictional losses, determine the

 

  1.  a)power the pump must supply the fluid in W (Correct Answer is 2321 W)

 

By performing an energy balance around the pump and ignoring friction and any changes in height between the inlet and outlet of the pump determine the:

 

  1. b) increase in pressure across the pump in psi (Correct Answer is 101 psi)
