Carefully sketch the energy grade lines (EGL) and hydraulic grade lines (HGL) for the system shown in Fig. 6.6 if a pump adding energy to the fluid is located at point②, such that flow is into the reservoir. In Chapter 8 we will investigate the effects of friction on internal flows. Can you anticipate and sketch the effect of friction on the EGL and HGL for the two cases?

- The plunger diameter of a single-acting reciprocating pump is 115 mm and the stroke is 230 mm. The suction pipe is 90 mm in diameter and 4.2 m long. If cavitation takes place at the suction head of 4 m, the barometer stands at 10.3 m of water, and the water level in the sump is 3 m below the pump cylinder axis.3.1 Find the maximum allowable speed to operate the pump3.2 What power is expected in overcoming friction at this speed, take ƒ = 0.01arrow_forwardA good curve-fit to the head vs. flow for the 32-inch pump in the image shown below is: H(inft)≈500−(2.9E−7)Q2,Qingal/minH(in ft)≈500−(2.9E−7)Q2 , Q in gal/min Assume the same rotation rate, 1170 r/min, and estimate the flow rate this pump will provide to deliver water from a reservoir, through 900 ft of 12-inch pipe, to a point 300 ft above the reservoir surface.

A few such vanes are shown in the following figure. If the flow rate is 0.1 m³/s and the height of blades is 2 cm, find the increase in static pressure. The inside and outside radii are 15 cm and 21 cm, respectively. 104 Turbomachinery: Concepts, Applications, and Design 14° 27°arrow_forward
- A pump is delivering 160 liters per second of water using an impeller diameter of 254mm and operating at a speed of 1800 rpm. If the speed is held constant and the impeller diameter is changed to 203.2 mm, what is the new discharged of the pump in liters per second?(128 L/s)arrow_forwardWater (density = 62.4 lb/ft³, viscosity = 1 cP) is pumped from a large reservoir on the floor at a rate of 80 gpm to the top of a smaller tower. The discharge point is 20 ft above the centerline of the pump. Frictional and other (contraction, expansion, etc.) losses in suction and discharge lines amount to 1.5 ft head of liquid. If the pump develops only 1/4 hp, the water height (ft) in the reservoir must be closest to O 9.1 O 7.0 O 8.6 O 6.5arrow_forwardFigure below shows the performance curve family of Model 5009 Centrifugal pumps of Taco Pump Inc., running at a fixed speed of N = 1160 rpm.

- Figure Q6 shows the head (H) vs flow rate (Q) curves of a centrifugal pump at a certain condition where the pump operating flow rate is Q1 as shown in Figure Q6. However, the required flow rate is Q2. With the help of sketches or graphs, discuss possible solutions that can be applied to produce the required flow rate Q2.arrow_forwardYou and your workmate are choosing pumps for your design. You've already decided which centrifugal pump you will use. The next thing you would think about this time would be the shape of it's impeller blades. The impeller in your design would have a revolution of 565 rpm, will have a volume flow rate of 11.7 gals per min and will (discharge) head of 2222 cm. Your coworker said that axial flow pump is your choice. Would you agree? Why or why not? Prove it.arrow_forwardC2. A conical tube is fixed vertically with its smaller end upwards and it forms a part of the pipeline. The diameter at the smaller end is 245 mm and at the larger end is 467 mm. The length of the conical tube is 1.8 m and the flow rate of the oil is 128 liters/s. The pressure at the smaller end is equivalent to a head of 9.7 m of oil. Considering the following two cases: (1) Neglecting friction, (without head loss) determine (i) the velocity at the smaller end in m/s, (ii) the velocity at the larger end in m/s, and (iii) the pressure at the larger end of the tube. (2) If a head loss (with head loss) in the tube is hL= 0.0153(V1-V2)2, where V1 is the velocity at the smaller end and V2 is the velocity at the larger end, determine (iv) the head loss in m of oil and (v) the pressure at the larger end of the tube.arrow_forward
