Design of a Pump System As a fresh engineer, you and one of your colleague are assigned to analyze a pump system The system needs to pump water from a reservoir at elevation of 10 ft to another reservoir at elevation of 250 ft having flow rate 0.3 ft/s and through 650 ft length of pipe. Make necessary assumptions about the pipe diameter, roughness, losses, and analyze the problem. For minor losses, assume sharp entrance, sharp exit, one open globe valve, two gate valves, three regular 90° elbows, etc. Compute the pump horsepower needed. Discuss the effect of friction on system performance and operation cost. Draw sketch of your system and show calculations.

It is required to pump water at the rate of 8.750 gpm from a reservoir whose surface is at an elevation of 180 ft to a tank whose bottom is at an elevation of 372 ft, The pump is placed at an elevation of 192 ft, the diameter of the suction pipe is 30 inch, the length of the pipe from the pump to the tank is 290 ft, and the estimated size of this pipe is 24 inch. The sum of the minor head losses in the suction and discharge pipe may be taken as 1.5 ft, if the maximum depth of water in the tank is to be 25 ft, what is the required horsepower of a pump for which the overall efficiency is 67 percent? Assume head loss due to friction in 290 ft + 2 ft Neglect all other head losses.

Oil of specific gravity 0.802 and kinematic viscosity 0.000186 m /s flows from tank A to tank B through 305 m of new pipe at the rate of 0.089 m3/s. The available head is 0.161 m. What size pipe should be used?
When 57 L/s of fluid (SG=1.27, viscosity=0.012 Pa.s) flow in 150 m of 150 mm pipe, the head loss is 11.2 m. Is this pipe rough or smooth? I dont understand what we are looking for that would let us know whether the pipe is rough or smooth???
Which of the following statements about Energy Grade Line (EGL) and Hydraulic Grade Line (HGL) is incorrect? O When the diameter of a pipe decrease, the slope of EGL will decrease (become flatter). O EGL is an indicator of total head throughout the pipeline system. O Valves are devices that may cause a sudden drop in the EGL and HGL. O Unless a pump is added to the pipeline, HGL decreases in the direction of the flow.
