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 turbulent?

A pump will be used to convey water from a lake into a pressurized storage tank for a secluded cabin vacation house. If 1000 gallons of water must be delivered in 10 minutes or less, will a pump that adds 3 hp to the water be sufficient? Explain and support your answer with calculations.    Assume 2 atm for the pressurized tank, and 20 ft difference in elevation from lake to water surface level in pressurized tank. ANSWER: 3 HP...

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 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.

Oil, with ?=860 kg/m3 and µ=0.06 kg/m ?s, flows through a horizontal pipe of 15 m length. The power delivered to the flow is 1 hp. If friction losses are to be neglected and the flow is at the laminar transition point (a) What is the appropriate pipe diameter? (b) For this condition, what are Q in m3/h; and (c) ?W in kPa?

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 sump pump (used to drain water from the basement of houses built below the water table) is draining a flooded basement at the rate of 0.65 L/s, with an output pressure of 3.15 × 105 Pa. The water enters a hose with a 2.9 cm inside diameter and rises 2.1 m above the pump. What is its pressure at this point, in pascals? You may neglect frictional losses. The hose then goes over the foundation wall, losing 0.65 m...

A pump delivers water (r= 1000 kg/m3, µ= 0.860x10-3 kg/m·s) from one reservoir to another reservoir through 120 m of 0.05 m diameter pipe. Volumetric flow rate in the pipe line is measured with venturi meter. Throat diameter of venturi meter is 38 mm and pressure drop in the venturi meter is 156.9 kPa.The surface of the pipe is rough e/D=0.0001. Calculate the power of the pump required for the water–transfer. See the figure below for several pipe– fittings installed...
