2. A pump is required to draw 50 of water from reservoir A, with static suction lift of 4.5 m to reservoir B, with static discharge head of 15 m. The pipe in the suction line is 6 in nominal diameter and 8 m long. The pipe in the discharge side is 4 in nominal diameter and 15 m long. The fittings and valves installed in the suction line are: one foot valve, one standard elbow and one gate valve; and in the discharge line are: one check valve, one gate valve, two standard elbows. Assuming an absolute roughness of 0.24 mm for a cast iron pipe, and an absolute viscosity of water of 0.01002 poise, and neglecting the head loss in the foot valve and at the exit in the discharge reservoir, determine the pump brake power if the pump efficiency is 82%. Draw the piping system.

The impeller of the centrifugal pump is 350 mm diameter, and the width of the blade passages at outlet is 18 mm. A pump, which runs at 16.6 rev/s, is mounted so that its centre is 2.4 m above the water level in the suction sump. It delivers water to a point 19 m above its centre; the friction loss in the suction pipe is 68 Q² meter and that in the delivery pipe is 650 Q² meter where Q in m3/s is the rate of flow. The blades themselves occupy 5% of the circumference and are backward facing at 35° to the tangent. At inlet, the flow is radial and the radial component of velocity remains unchanged through the impeller. Assuming that 50% of the velocity head of the water leaving the impeller is converted to pressure head in the volute, and that friction and shock losses in the pump, the velocity heads in the suction and delivery pipes are negligible, calculate the following: The flow rate, m3/s, of the pump. Manometric efficiency, in %, of the pump.
