Three pumps are connected in series. According to pump performance curves, the free delivery of each pump is as follows: Pump 1: 1600 L/min Pump 2: 2200 L/min Pump 3: 2800 L/min If the flow rate for this pump system is 2500 L/min, which pump(s) should be shut off? (a) Pump 1 (b) Pump 2 (c) Pump 3 (d) Pumps 1 and 2 (e) Pumps 2 and 3
(a) Water flows by gravity from one lake to another as illus-
trated; the surface levels of the lakes differ by an eleva-
tion of h= 50 ft. If the volumetric flow rate is steady at
Q = 80 gallons per minute, what is the associated loss
of available energy?
(b) A pump is to be installed to pump the water from the
lower lake to the upper lake with the same flow rate
as above (Q = 80 gpm). If the amount of energy loss
is assumed to be the same as in part (a), how much
mechanical power must be supplied by the pump?
Answer: (a) loss = 1600 ft-lb/slug, (b) Wpump = 2.0
