A pump needs to move water from a lower reservoir to an upper reservoir at a rate of 600 cfs through a 9,000 ft long, 6-ft diameter pipeline (f = 0.03). For a 1,500 ft change in water surface elevation between the lower and upper reservoirs, compute the needed power input to the pump assuming a pump efficiency of 75% and that minor losses are negligible. In addition, compute the needed power input to the corresponding motor assuming the motor efficiency is 85%. Report your answers in horsepower.

Water at 20 0C is pumped at a rate of Q4= 0.042 m3/s from lower reservoir to a higher reservoir with a height difference of H4=37 m as shown in the figure. The flow is assumed steady and incompressible. If irreversible losses in the pipe can be neglected, calculate the pump efficiency in percent, if the electric motor is rated at P4=29.1 kW and the motor efficiency can be assumed to be n4=87%.

Water at 20 0C is pumped at a rate of Q4= 0.022 m3/s from lower reservoir to a higher reservoir with a height difference of H4=43 m as shown in the figure. The flow is assumed steady and incompressible. If irreversible losses in the pipe can be neglected, calculate the pump efficiency in percent, if the electric motor is rated at P4=29.4 kW and the motor efficiency can be assumed to be n4=82%.

A pump is used to deliver water from a large reservoir to another large reservoir that is 20 m higher. The inlet of the pipe is submerged in the one reservoir and the exit is just above the surface of the other reservoir. If the friction head loss in the 200-mm-diameter, 4-km-long pipeline is 2.5 m for every 500 m of pipe length, determine the required power output of the pump so the flow is 0.6 m3/s.

What would be the required pump head (hP), in psi, to move water at 124gpm through a 3” commercial steel pipe, angled at 45 degrees, over a 75 ft high wall. Assume the pump draws water from an open reservoir, discharges at steady state, and ignore minor losses.

Select the pump with the highest efficiency from Figures 5.23 and 5.24 in your book based on the following conditions. A 1,500 m-long, 15-cm diameter pipeline ( f = 0.02) connects two reser- voirs (elevation difference of 35 m). Minor losses include entrance, exit, and a globe valve. The design flow is 20 L/s. Determine the speed, discharge, head, and efficiency for the selected pump.

A pump is used to carry water (T =60 oF and ν = 1.217×10-5 ft2/s) from a large tank (elevation of surface = 30 ft and at atmospheric pressure) through a pipe to the exit (elevation 60 ft) at a rate Q = 1.5 cfs as shown below. The pipe is made of cast iron (ε = 0.00085 ft). The pipe segment before the pump has length L = 500 ft (three horizontal sections of 160 ft each and two...

An industrial pump is to be used to supply water from Lake Bonno to an agricultural field located 500 m away from the lake, and at an elevation of 20 m above the surface of the lake. If the horse-power of the pump is 45-hp, what is the discharge that can be delivered by using a pipe of diameter D = 0.4 m and a friction coefficient of f = 0.015? Neglect all minor losses. Is the flow laminar or...
