If the pressure at point A in the suction pipe is -32kpa (negative sign indicate the pressure is below the atmosphere), where A is 1.8m below B on the 155mm line, determine the maximum elevation above B to which water can be raised assuming a head loss of 2.9m due to friction.
The axial flow pump produces a discharge of 0.095 m3/sm3/s. (Figure 1) The impeller is rotating at ω� = 80 rad/srad/s, and it has a mean radius of 75 mmmm.

Reservoir A (Elev. 106 m.) to the turbine is connected by a 638 mm pipe. Another 638 mm pipe connects the turbine to Reservoir B (Elev. 85 m.). The loss of head from A to 1 is 5 times the velocity head of the pipe and the loss of head from 2 to B is 0.2 times the velocity head of the pipe.

Assume that friction in the suction line is negligible. Toluene @ 35C is pumped from an open reservoir to a tank kept at a gauge pressure of 150 kPa. The pump itself is 3 m below the reservoir, while the discharge tank is 10m above the reservoir. While in the discharge line the friction head amounts to 7.5 m, determine the net positive suction head available for the pump. If the pump has an efficiency of 65%, determine the total power input. At the given temp, the density and vapor pressure of toluene are 862 kg/m3 and 40 mmHg.
A plant has installed a single-suction centrifugal pump with a discharge of 68 m3/hr under 60 m head and running at 1 200 rpm. It is proposed to install another pump with double suction but of the same type to operate at 30 m head and deliver 90 m3/hr. Determine the brake power of the existing and the proposed pumps assuming that the efficiency is 82%.
