For the single pump-pipe system below, what will be the changes for the operating point if we increase the pipe size but decrease the shaft speed of the pump? EB H₂ O The operating point will remain the same. O The operating point will occur either at a higher discharge or at a lower discharge, depending on the specific influence of each change. O The operating point will occur at a higher discharge. O The operating point will occur at a lower discharge.

Assume the bore and rod diameters of the single-rod double-actuating cylinder in the differential two-speed cylinder circuits depicted in fig below are 120 and 90 mm, respectively. If the line-relief valve sets the maximum system operating pressure at 10 MPa and the pump supplies a maximum flow of 100 L/min flow, what are the cylinder speed and the load-carrying capacity int he regular and differential extension strokes?
FLOW THROUGH PIPELINE PROBLEM Process water is pumped from the main storage tank (A) to process tanks (B) and (C). The pipeline from main storage tank (A) to the centrifugal pump inlet is 3-inch Schedule 40 commercial steel pipe, with an equivalent length of 61 meters. The line from the centrifugal pump discharge to the tee (entry into leg) where the pipeline branches is also 3-inch Schedule 40 pipe, with an equivalent length of 30.5 meters. The pipeline from the tee to process tank (B) is 1.5-inch Schedule 40 pipe, with an equivalent length of 183 meters. The pipeline from the tee to process tank (C) is 2-inch Schedule 40 commercial steel pipe, with an equivalent length of 183 meters. The equivalent lengths as given do not include four (4) gate valves, one (1) between storage tank (A) and the centrifugal pump, one (1) between the centrifugal pump and the tee, and one (1) each at process tanks (B) and (C); and two (2) globe valves (bevel seat), globe valve “X” in line from the tee to…
A "spa tub" is to be designed to replace bath tubs in reno- vations. There are to be 6 outlet nozzles, each with a di- ameter of 12 mm, and each should have an outlet velocity of 12 m/s. What is the required flow rate from the single pump that supplies all of these nozzles? If there is one suction line leading to the pump, what is the minimum diameter to limit the velocity at the inlet of the pump to 2.5 m/s?
Water at 5°C is to be pumped from the river to the bottom of a water tower. The pump is 5 m above the river (dimension "a" on the diagram below) and is supplied by a 6.00 inch schedule 40 pipe. The tank is 19.5 m above the pump (dimension "b" on the diagram below) and is supplied by a 4 inch schedule 40 pipe. The water level in the tank is 4.3 m above the inlet (dimension "c" on the diagram below). The pump delivers 0.021 m/s. Losses are estimated to be 1.2 m between the river and the pump, and 4.2 m between the pump and the tank.
