A pumping system is proposed to lift water from a storage tank at an elevation of 2100-feet up to another storage facility at 2300-feet. The pump is at an elevation of 2090-feet. The two storage tanks are connected through a 2350-foot, 18-in diameter pipeline. If the friction factor of the pipeline is 0.017, what is the system curve equation?

A pumping system is designed to pump from a storage reservoir located at an elevation of 1015 feet. The pump elevation is 1005 feet. The pump discharge flow rate is 4500 gal/min and the water temperature is 100˚ F. Between the storage tank and the pump is 30 feet of 14-in DIP pipe (f = 0.018) with one (1) rounded entrance (kent = 0.05), and two (2) 45 -degree bends (k45 = 0.30). What is the NPSHA for this system?...

"All industrial facilities have a network of piping that carries water or other liquids. According to a U.S. Department of Energy study, 16% of a typical facility's electricity costs are for its pumping systems. Suppose that you are considering a pumping facility having 11,000 ft to carry 550 gpm of water continuously to storage tank. The general equation for estimating annual pumping costs is Cost($)= [(Friction factor)(Pipe length in ft)(Number of hours)($/kWh)(Flow in gpm)^3]/[1705*(Combined pump and motor efficiency)(Pipe inner diameter...

A farmer wants to pump water from a river to a very big open storage tank nearby using a 55-m long, 16-cm diameter plastic pipe with 5 threaded 90° regular bends, 5 threaded 45° regular bends, and one fully open gate valve. The water velocity near the river surface is 2.7 m/s and the pipe's inlet is placed in the river normal to the direction of water flow to take advantage of this water speed. The elevation difference between the...

A centrifugal pump takes brine from the bottom of a supply tank and delivers it into the bottom of another tank. The brine level in the supply tank is 150 ft below that of the other tank. The line between the tanks is 600 ft of 4" Sch. 40 pipe. The friction factor for a flow of 400 gpm is 0.0045. In the line are 2 gate valves, 4 branch run tees, and 4 (90) deg elbows. What is the...
