Problem 2 A pump is needed in a water supply system. The water is being pumped out of a ground-level storage reservoir with water surface elevation of 149.27 ft and needs to pass over a hill 2 miles away, where the pipe centerline is at elevation 200.00 ft. The flowrate is 22 mgd, pipe diameter is 24 inches, Hazen-Williams friction factor is 110, and pressure at the crest of the hill must be at least 20 psi. (a) What head must the pump provide? (b) How much power will be added to the water? (c) What size motor should be purchased if the pump/motor combination has an efficiency of 80 percent?

PROBLEM 02: Water entering a pump through an 200mm diameter pipe at 27.6 kPa has a flow rate of 0.1 m^3/s. It leaves the pump through a 100mm diameter pipe at 103.4 kPa. Assuming that the suction and discharge sides of the pump are at the same elevation, find the horsepower delivered to the water by the pump (746 watts = 1 HP). Illustrate the problem and show your complete solution.

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.

Water at 70oF is pumped from a pressurized reservoir (4 psig) to a storage tank atop a building by means of a centrifugal pump. The level of water in the pressurized reservoir is 60 ft above the center-line of the pump. The piping system consists of 120 ft. equivalent length of 4" SCH 40 steel pipe containing two (2) globe valve (bevel-seat) and four (4) - 90o standard elbows and from the pressurized reservoir to the pump; 4" SCH 40 pipe follows the pump for an equivalent length of 25 ft. after which the pipe size is decreased to 3" SCH 40 steel pipe for an equivalent length of 260 ft. to the tank. The 3" SCH 40 pipe contains two (2) - 90o standard elbows. If it is desired to maintain a flow of water of 400 gpm into the storage tank and the level of the liquid in the storage tanks is 250 ft. above the center-line of the pipe, determine the following at the suction and discharge points: a) total friction heads b) suction pressure and discharge pressure c) Reynold's number in the pipes…
