A centrifugal pump which runs at 104.3 rad ·s−1 (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. For a flow rate of Q (m3 ·s−1) the friction loss in the suction pipe is 68Q2 m and that in the delivery pipe is 650Q2 m. The impeller of the pump is 350 mm diameter and the width of the blade passages at outlet is 18 mm. 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 other losses in the pump, the velocity heads in the suction and delivery pipes, and whirl slip are all negligible, calculate the rate of flow in liter/s and the manometric efficiency of the pump.
Calculate the required pump power since the velocity of the water in the pipe is v=1.91 m/s pwater=1000kh/m^3 μ=1.307x10^-3
At the power station, a Pelton wheel produces 1260kW under a head of 610m. The loss of headdue to pipe friction between the reservoir and nozzle is 46m. The buckets of the Pelton wheeldeflect the jet through an angle of 1658, while relative velocity of the water is reduced by 10%due to bucket friction. The bucket/jet speed ratio is 0.46. The bucket circle diameter of thewheel is 890mm and there are two jets. Find the theoretical hydraulic efficiency, speed ofrotation of the wheel, and diameter of the nozzle if the actual hydraulic efficiency is 0.9 timesthat calculated above. Assume nozzle velocity coefficient, Cv = 0.98. Show the schematic diagram of this problem.
Water (γwater = 9810 N/m3) drains from the reservoir higher to the bottom, both with constant levels, by a pipe with a diameter equal to 75 mm, passing a turbine to power generation. Knowing that the total load loss between sections (1) and (4) is equal to 2.0 m and where the flow rate is equal to 10 L/s; can determine: The power on the turbine shaft in kilowatts (kW), whereas the performance of the machine is 75%. Consider that V1 ≈ 0; V4 ≈ 0. If the static pressure in section (3) is known, equal to 200 kPa, determine the piezometric (CP) and the total energy in this section. Also calculate the CP and the total energy in (2). Data: h1 = 10 m; h2 = 10 m; h3 = 4 m.
Plz answer in 30min A Francis radial-flow turbine has a runner inlet radius of 2.75 m and its outlet radius is 1.85 m. The runner blade widths are 0.9 m and 2.93 m at the inlet and outlet, respectively. The runner must rotate at 150 rpm to turn the 60-Hz electric generator. The wicket gates turn the flow by angle 35° from radial at the runner inlet, and the flow at the runner outlet is to have angle 20° from radial for proper flow through the draft tube. The volume flow rate at design conditions is 514 m3/s, and the gross head provided by the dam is 100 m. Determine the tangential component of the water velocity at the outlet in m/s.
Water from a deep reservoir is collected with help from a pump. The discharge at B measures at 0.94 ft3/s. If the flow within the 5.0in diameter pipe incurs a head loss of 5.1ft, what is the power (hp) produced by the pump?Point B is 7.7 ft above point C (surface of the deep reservoir).
A pump is used to raised water to a reservoir through 1000 m. long of 20 cm diameter with Cw of Hazen-William's Equation equal to 100. If the pipe is to be replaced with a new one having the same length but with a diameter of 25 cm and Cw= 120, determine the power save if the flow is to be maintained at 75liters per second. Draw the approximate EGL and HGL
In below for a pressure head at D of 100 ft, (a) compute the power supplied the turbine DE. (b) If the dashed-line pipewere installed (3000 ft of 24′′), what power would be available to the turbine if the flow were 13.0 mgd? (C = 120)
A reservoir A with elevation 30m connected with a pump to rise the water into two reservoirs B and C 90m and 60 m respectively the amount of flow from J to B is equal 0.11 m/sec use the following data to determine the flow in each pipe and the power of the pump: LAJ 450 m, DaJ = 300 mm, LJB= 300 m, DJB = 200 m, Q JB = 0. m'/sec, LJc 600, D Jc = 150 mm,f (all Pipes) 0.02
A pump draws water from a 20 cm diam suction pipe and discharges through a 15 cm diam pipe in which the velocity is 3.60 m/s. The pressure is – 34. 465 kPa at A in the suction pipe. The 15 cm diam pipe discharges horizontally into air at C inclined at 30 degrees. Find the maximum height and range that the water can reach if B is 1.8 m. above A and 20 hp is delivered to the pump? Assume that the pump operates at 80 % efficiency and that the frictional loss in the pipe between A and C is 3 m.
If the flow of 0.10 m3/s of water (mu = 1.31 x 10-3 Pa.s) is to be maintained in the system shown, what power must be added to the water by the pump? The pipe is made of steel and is 15 cm in diameter. Neglect minor losses. TV
