Hot water in an open storage tank at 82.2°C is being pumped at a rate of 0.379 m3/min from the tank. The line from the storage tank to the pump suction is 6.1 m of 2-in schedule 40 steel pipe and it contains two elbows. The water discharge line after the pump is 61 m of 2-in pipe and contains two elbows. The water discharges to the atmosphere at a height of 6.1 m above the water level in the storage tank. a. Calculate all frictional losses Σ F. b. Make a MEB and calculate Ws of the pump in J/kg. c. What is the kW power of the pump if its efficiency is 75%?

Liquid water is pumped at 94 ° C from a storage tank at a rate of 50 gal / min by means of a pump with a 2 HP motor and an efficiency of 80%. The water passes through a condenser delivering heat at a rate of 40,000 kJ / min, and is then deposited in a second storage tank that is 15 m above the first tank. Estimate the temperature of the water deposited in the second tank.

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%. Answer:

City water will be cooled in a heat exchanger by sea water entering at 15°C. The outlet temperature of the sea water is 20°C. City water will be recirculated to reduce water consumption. The suction line of the pump has an inner diameter of 154 mm, is 22 m long, and has two 90° bends and a hinged check valve. The pipe from the pump to the heat exchanger has an inner diameter of 127 mm, is 140 m long,...
