Three pipes of diameters 0.4m, 0.2m and 0.3m of lengths of 400m, 200m, and 300m, respectively, are connected in series. The compound pipe connects two water tanks having a difference of water level of 25m.

A 10m diameter storage tank, 15m high is used to contain four different liquids. 2.50m of liquid A(SG=085), 5m of liquid B(SG=2.40), 3.80m of fresh water, and 2.70m of liquid CSG=7.79).

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.
A D0 = 12-m-diameter tank is initially filled with water 2 m above the center of a D = 10-cm-diameter valve near the bottom. The tank surface is open to the atmosphere, and the tank drains through a L = 95-m-long pipe connected to the valve. The friction factor of the pipe is given to be f = 0.015, and the discharge velocity is expressed as V =√ 2gz/(1.5 + fL/D) where z is the water height above the center of the valve. Determine (a) the initial discharge velocity from the tank and (b) the time required to empty the tank. The tank can be considered to be empty when the water level drops to the center of the valve.

Water of density 1000 kg/m3 is pumped from a sump tank up a distance of H before exiting to atmospheric pressure, as shown in Figure P8.49. The entrance and exit have a loss coefficient of K = 1. Each bend also has a loss coefficient of K, but the valve has a loss coefficient of 2K. The pipe has a diameter D, L1 = L2 = 50D, and the friction factor f = 0.01.
