Water with a temperature of 20 oC is pumped from a tank open to the atmosphere (zA = 2.90 m), through two cast iron (roughness value ε=0.005mm) pipes of 29 m length, connected in parallel with the higher one (zB = 9.9 m). Pipe diameters are D1 = 3.9 cm and D2 = 5.9 cm, respectively. The water is pumped with a motor-pump group, whose efficiency is 69% and consumes 7090 W of electrical power during operation. miner losses in pipes connecting parallel pipes to tanks are neglected. Find the total volume flow rate between the tanks and the volume flow rate in each of the parallel pipes. Solve the problem by making at least three iterations.

A water is pumped at a rate of 24 cm/s through a 0.50-cm radius pipe on the main floor of a bouse to a 0.35-cm radius pipe in a solar hot water collector 4 m higher on the roof. If the pressure in the pipe on the roof is 1.2 x 10° Pa, what is the pressure in the larger pipe on the floor?
The average flow speed in a constant-diameter section of the pipeline is 2.5 m/s. At the inlet, the pressure is 5000 kPa (gage) and the elevation is 100 m; at the outlet, the pressure is 500 kPa (abs) and the elevation is 5 m. The specific weight of the flowing fluid is 10 kN/m3.

The water needs of a small farm are to be met by pumping water from a well that can supply water continuously at a rate of 50 L/min. The water level in the well is 13 m below the ground level, and water is to be pumped to the farm by a 2-cm internal diameter pipe. The required length of piping is measured to be 20 m, and the total head loss in the piping system is estimated to be 10 m.a) Using Bernoulli equation, determine the pressure difference between the two points (A & B).

Water is pumped to a storage tank from a pool by a centrifugal pump. The elevation difference between the pool and the storage tank is 60 m. The stórage tank and the pool are open to atmosphere. 50 meters of 6 in Sc 40 steel pipe is used between pool and pump. After the pump 6 in Sc 40 pipe with a length of 22 m is suddenly contracted to 4 in Sc 40 pipe, that is 70 m. The flow rate of water is 2.5 m/min and the temperature is 20°C.

(a) Water flows by gravity from one lake to another as illus- trated; the surface levels of the lakes differ by an eleva- tion of h= 50 ft. If the volumetric flow rate is steady at Q = 80 gallons per minute, what is the associated loss of available energy? (b) A pump is to be installed to pump the water from the lower lake to the upper lake with the same flow rate as above (Q = 80 gpm). If the amount of energy loss is assumed to be the same as in part (a), how much mechanical power must be supplied by the pump? Answer: (a) loss = 1600 ft-lb/slug, (b) Wpump = 2.0 hp
