A pump increases the pressure of water from 100 kPa to 1.2 MPa at a rate of 0.5 m3 /min. The inlet and outlet diameters are identical and there is no change in elevation across the pump. If the efficiency of the pump is 77 percent, the power supplied to the pump is (a) 11.9 kW (b) 12.6 kW (c) 13.3 kW (d ) 14.1 kW (e) 15.5 kW
The force that drives the flow of fluids is the pressure difference; a pump works by raising thepressure of a fluid (converting it into mechanical work of its axis and energy of flow). It is determined thatA gasoline pump consumes 3.8 KW of electrical power when it is working. If the difference ofpressures between pump discharge and suction is 7 KPa, and the changes in speed and head aredespicable.Determine the maximum possible volumetric flow rate of the gasoline.

- A 90° elbow in a horizontal pipe is used to direct water flow upward at a rate of 40 kg/s. The diameter of the entire elbow is 10 cm. The elbow discharges water into the atmosphere, and thus the pressure at the exit is the local atmospheric pressure. The elevation difference between the centers of the exit and the inlet of the elbow is 50 cm. The weight of the elbow and the water in it is considered to be negligible. Determine (a) the gage pressure at the center of the inlet of the elbow and (b) the anchoring force needed to hold the elbow in place.
