2) The pump of a water distribution system is powered by an electric motor whose efficiency is 80% with a shaft that is 97% efficient and a pump that is 60% efficient. The water flow rate through the pump is 0.2 m³/s. What is the total efficiency of the pump/motor assembly? The diameters of the inlet and outlet pipes are the same, and the elevation difference across the pump is negligible. If the pressures at the inlet and outlet of the pump are measured to be 70 kPa and 720 kPa (absolute), respectively, determine the electrical consumption of the pump.

In large buildings, hot water in a water tank is circulated through a loop so that the user doesn’t have to wait for all the water in long piping to drain before hot water starts coming out. A certain recirculating loop involves 40-m-long, 1.2-cm-diameter cast iron pipes with six 90° threaded smooth bends and two fully open gate valves. If the average flow velocity through the loop is 2 m/s, determine the required power input for the recirculating pump. Take the average water temperature to be 60°C and the efficiency of the pump to be 70 percent.

Underground water is to be pumped by a 78 percent efficient 5-kW submerged pump to a pool whose free surface is 30 m above the underground water level. The diameter of the pipe is 7 cm on the intake side and 5 cm on the discharge side. Determine (a) the maximum flow rate of water and (b) the pressure difference across the pump. Assume the elevation difference between the pump inlet and the outlet and the effect of the kinetic energy correction factors to be negligible.
A tank, shaped like a cone has height 4 meter and base radius 1 meter. It is placed so that the circular part is upward. It is full of water, and we have to pump it all out by a pipe that is always leveled at the surface of the water. Assume that a cubic meter of water weighs 10000N, i.e. the density of water is 10000N/m3. How much work does it require to pump all water out of the tank? Enter the exact value of your answer.
When you urinate, you increase pressure in your bladder to produce the flow. For an elephant, gravity does the work. An elephant urinates at a remarkable rate of 0.0060 m3m3 (a bit over a gallon and a half) per second. Assume that the urine exits 1.0 mm below the bladder and passes through the urethra, which we can model as a tube of diameter 8.0 cmcm and length 1.2 mm. Assume that urine has the same density as water, and that viscosity can be ignored for this flow. What is the speed of the flow? If we assume that the liquid is at rest in the bladder (a reasonable assumption) and that the pressure where the urine exits is equal to atmospheric pressure, what does Bernoulli's equation give for the gauge pressure in the bladder?
