A tube of uniform diameter carries water to a water pond on the farm.
The pond is at the top of a 35 m high hill and its top is open to the atmosphere.
The pump that feeds the water from below can supply 450 kPa and the water flows from below
at 5.4 m / s. We will use the low level as the reference level. Calculate:
a- the speed of the water when you reach the top of the hill
b- if the diameter of the tube is 8 cm, what is the volume flow of the water in the tube?
c- the capacity of the pond is 500 m ^ 3, how long will it take to fill the pond?

The water needs of a small farm are to be met by pumping water from a well that can supply water continuously at a rate of 5 L/s. The water level in the well is 20 m below the ground level, and water is to be pumped to a large tank on a hill, which is 58 m above the ground level of the well, using 6-cm internal diameter plastic pipes. The required length of piping is measured to be...

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...

2 parts! thanks :) 1. A water pipe with an inner diameter of 2.5 cm carries water into the basement of a house at a speed of 0.88 m/s and a pressure of 180 kPa. If the pipe tapers to an inner diameter of 1.2 cm and rises to the second floor 7.2 m above the input level, what is the speed of the water flow at the second floor? Your answer should be in m/s, but enter only the...

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...

A pipe carries water from point 1 where the diameter is 8 cm and the elevation above the datum is 4 m, to point 2 where the diameter is 4 cm and the elevation above the datum is 10 m. The volumetirc flow rate is 0.0375 m^3/s, and the pressure at point 1 is 988 kPa. Assuming no frictional losses, determine the pressure at point 2.

The water level in a vertical glass tube 1.60 m long can be adjusted to any position in the tube. A tuning fork vibrating at 503 Hz is held just over the open top end of the tube, to set up a standing wave of sound in the air-filled top portion of the tube. (That air-filled top portion acts as a tube with one end closed and the other end open.) (a) For how many different positions of the water...

A large storage tank, open to the atmosphere at the top and filled with water, develops a small hole in its side at a point 14.0 m below the water level. If the rate of flow from the leak is 2.20 ✕ 10−3 m3/min, determine the following. (a) Determine the speed at which the water leaves the hole. m/s (b) Determine the diameter of the hole. mm

A strip footing 2.5 m wide carries a uniform pressure of 248 kN/m² on the surface of a sand deposit. The water table is at the surface, and saturated unit weight of sand of 20.8 kN/m³. Determine the effective vertical stresses (kPa) at a point 3.8 m below the point 3.2 m from the centre of the footing to the LEFT after the application of the pressure. (2 d.p). Use unit weight of water 9.8 kN/m3

A circular storm water sewer 1.5 m in diameter and effective roughness size 0.6 mm is laid to a slope of 1:500. Determine the maximum discharge which the sewer will convey under uniform open channel conditions. If a steady inflow from surface runoff exceeds the maximum open channel capacity by 20%, show that the sewer will become pressurised (surcharged) and calculate the hydraulic gradient necessary to convey the new flow.

Determine the maximum discharge which the sewer will convey under uniform open channel conditions. If a steady inflow from the surface runoff exceeds the maximum open channel capacity by 20%, show that the sewer will become pressurized and calculate the hydraulic gradient necessary to convey the new flow.
