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 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...

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?

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...

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.

Water (at 25o C) from a lake is desired to be pumped over a 100 m high hill to a pool of a house. A 300 m pipeline has three 45o elbows, two 90o elbows, two gate valves (one wide open and one half open). The dimensions of the pool are 8x6x2 m3 . The readily installed pump whose efficiency is 70% requires 6.4 kW power to fill the pool in 6 hours. The suction line is 5 m long...

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 3-m-diameter tank is initially filled with water 2 m above the center of a sharp-edged 10-cmdiameter orifice. The tank water surface is open to the atmosphere, and the orifice drains to the atmosphere through a 100-m-long pipe. The friction coefficient of the pipe can be taken to be 0.015 and the effect of the kinetic energy correction factor can be neglected. Someone suggests that it makes no difference whether the pump is located at the beginning or at the...
