A pump is used to lift 11 CMH of water at 20°C from a nearby fresh water lake whose free surface is 2.5 meters below the pump centerline to an elevated water dam whose free surface is 10 meters above the pump centerline. The suction pipe and discharge pipe are DN 8 SCH 40 and DN 10 SCH 40, respectively. The suction pipe has a total length of 5.4 m, while the discharge pipe has a total length of 21 m.

The water source in the municipality is from an open reservoir and will supply to a pressure tank that will distribute to the municipality. open 4l Pressure reservoir Tank 70 m 15 m Pump Determine the following specifications of the pump and piping system (assume fluid stagnation at the pump).

A flow rate of 3 m'/s of water is available at a height of I 10 m at a project site. Due to losses in the sup- ply line, the head available at the inlet to powerhouse is estimated to be only 101 m of water. The leakage losses in the powerhouse are negligible. Mechanical losses account for 150 kW. Frictional losses in the rotor blades may be taken as 250 kW. The exit velocity of water from the turbines is 4.5 m/s. Calculate the hydraulic, mechanical, and overall efficiencies of the plant. The specific weight of water may be taken as 9810 N/m.
Some engineers are evaluating potential sites for a small hydroelectric dam. At one such site, the gross head is 340 m, and they estimate that the volume flow rate of water through each turbine would be 0.95 m3 /s. Estimate the ideal power production per turbine in MW.
