A fountain in a pond draws water from the base of the pond, passes it through a pump with ?? = 25 ?, and along a pipe of length L=3 m, diameter D=15 cm and friction factor f=0.03. The pipe has three 90deg bends (?? = 0.8) before passing through a contraction nozzle (?? = 0.5 based on the upstream velocity) such that the diameter of the outlet nozzle is d=5 cm. The flow then leaves the nozzle moving in a vertical direction as a free jet at the height of the pond surface. Calculate the height of the fountain above the pond surface.

An 80% efficient pump draws 68.5 gallons per minute of water from an aquifer through a 4-inch ID pipe and discharges it through a 2-inch ID pipe to a tank, which is 100 ft above the water level in the aquifer. The friction loss in the pipe is 15 ft.lbf/lbm. What is the required pump horsepower?

Water from a reservoir passes over a dam through a turbine and discharges from a 70-cm ID pipe at a point 65 m below the reservoir surface. The turbine delivers 0.80 MW. Calculate the required flow rate of water in m3 /min if friction is neglected.

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 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...

. Suppose a vertical pipe is to be used as part of a system to manually cycle nutrients upward from the floor of a lake. (Many lakes do this naturally, some do not. Green Lake, near Syracuse, NY, is one such lake.) A pump is to be installed on the lake floor at the base of the pipe. The base of the pipe will have a diameter of 9 cm. The nozzle of the pipe at the top will have...
