The below figure shows a pump that transfers a steady stream of 35◦API crude oil from an oiltanker to a refinery storage tank, both free surfaces being open to the atmosphere. Theeffective length—including fittings—of the commercial steel pipe is 6,000 ft. The dischargeat point 4 is 200 ft above the pump exit, which is level with the free surface of oil in thetanker. However, because of an intervening hill, point 3 is at a higher altitude than point 4.Losses between points 1 and 2 may be ignored.The crude oil has the following properties:Density ρ = 53 lbm/ft 3 ; Viscosity μ = 13.2 cP; Vapour Pressure Pv = 4.0 psia
Answer the following questions:1. If the combination of pump and motor is 80% efficient, how much electrical power(kW) is needed to drive the pump?2. If, in order to avoid vapour lock, the pressure in the pipeline must always be above thevapor pressure of the crude oil, what is the maximum permissible elevation of point 3relative to point 4?3. If the flow in the pipeline…
From a very large tank with an absolute pressure of 3 bar, the water is discharged to the atmosphere by means of 2 smooth pipes of 100 m length, 1 m and 50 m long, connected in series. The height difference between the water level in the tank and the outlet is 50m, and the diameters of the pipes are 50mm and 100mm, respectively.

- This problem is useful for the preliminary design of a hydroturbine. From the material learned in this chapter, it is fairly simple to estimate how much power a hydroturbine can generate, given only the flow rate of water and the elevation difference upstream and downstream of the dam. A dam has a gross head of 15.5 m and a flow rate of 0.22 m3 /s. Approximating the overall efficiency of the turbine/generator to be 75%, estimate the electrical power (in kW) that couldbe produced.arrow_forwardThe net head of a little aquarium pump is given by the man- ufacturer as a function of volume flow rate as listed below: Q, m'/s H, mH,O 1.10 1.00 1.0 E-6 2.0 E-6 0.80 3.0 E-6 0.60 4.0 E-6 0.35 5.0 E-6 0.0 What is the maximum achievable flow rate if you use this pump to move water from the lower reservoir to the upper reservoir as shown in Fig. smooth with an inner diameter of 5.0 mm and a total length of 29.8 m.

- A hydroelectric generation facility has a gross head of 120 m and a consistent yearlong water flow rate of 20 m3/s. The route the facility selected to direct the water to the turbines will require a 1200 m long pipeline. The installed turbines require an intake speed of at least 5 m/s to generate the rated power.
