- Water is pumped from a reservoir to a tank with a lift of 20.0 ft. The suction pipe, which connects the reservoir to the pump, has a 12in diameter and is 25ft long. The discharge pipe, which connects the pump to the tank, has a 10in diameter and is 450ft long. Both pipes may be classified as clean, smooth cast iron pipes. The suction pipe projects into the reservoir and discharge pipe projects into the tank. Considering all losses, calculate the horsepower required to operate the pump to discharge 1346 gpm into the tank.arrow_forwardA 2-inch diameter hose is conveying water at a flow rate of 20 gpm from point A to point B. The pressure at point A is 40 psi. The elevation at point A is 20 ft above mean sea level (MSL) and the elevation at point B is 18.5 ft above MSL. The hose is 100 ft long. Determine (a) pressure at point B if there is no head loss, (b) pressure at point B if head loss is 1 inch per foot of pipe length. (c) Compare pressure at B with and without headloss - what impact does head loss have?arrow_forward1. An 80 mm schedule 40 steel pipe is 1800 m long and carries a lubricating oil between 2 points A and B such that the Reynolds number is 1200. Point B is 10 m higher than point A.

- Oil with a specific gravity of 0.83 and a dynamic viscosity of 8.5 × 10^−3 Pa ∙ s flows at a rate of 502 L/min into the open tank. The total length for the DN 50 schedule 40 steel pipe is 37 m, while the length for the DN 100 schedule 40 pipe is 100 m. Determine the pressure at point A.arrow_forwardHint: For part (a), use conservation of energy equation (Bernoulli equation with losses) and assume the blower is just outside the control volume. Assume loss coefficients of 0.5 and 1.0 for entrance and exit, and that a plastic pipe is used (roughness = 0). Use the Colebrook or Haaland equation to approximate the friction factor. Also assume that the sum of the static pressure head and elevation head doesn't change significantly between the entrance and exit. In other words, although the elevation head will increase, the pressure head will decrease to compensate. This assumes the atmospheric pressure change is γ*Δz, which is a decent estimate for elevation changes less than ~1000 ft or so).- For part (b), use textbook equation 1.4 and assume a 100% efficient blower. Also, compare the power needed to power the blower with the world's largest non-hydro power plant in the…arrow_forwardOil of specific gravity 0.8 flows through a pipe of 0.25 m diameter.
