In a water tank, the water level is 20m above ground. A hose is connected to the tank's bottom and the nozzle on the end of the hose is pointing straight up. The stream from the nozzle is 25m above the ground. What may cause the water from the hose to rise above the tank level?
A company needs to pump coconut oil (den: 924 kg/m^3) from the import truck to its holding tank 15 meters above the ground. If the pump that is used is able to create 2 ATM of pressure, what will be the velocity of the oil as it enters the tank?
A 10 ft diameter tank with a quick opening value to a sump has a 10 ft depth of liquid. How long does it take to drain the tank if the valve is assumed to be equivalent to a 4 in Diameter orifice? The liquid density is 60 lb/ft3
700 gpm of water are being discharged by a centrifugal pump 5 ft above the pump inlet. The inlet pressure is 4 inHg above atmospheric and the discharge pressure is 29 psia. If the pump has an 8 in inlet diameter and 4 in discharge diameter.Calculate (a) the pump efficiency (b) the new flowrate and brake horse power if the pump speed is increased from 1600 to 3200 rp,. Assume the pump input is 8 Hp
For measuring liquid level in an inaccessible underground tank, the scheme as shown in the figure below is employed. The manometer fluid has a density of 2.5 g/ml while that of the liquid in the tank is 1.05 g/ml. Air flow is controlled so that the frictional, contraction, and expansion losses in the feed line amount to 97 ft. Velocity in 1/4" tubing is 2.13 ft/s…
