5.9.5. Factory tests indicated that a cavitation parameter for a particular pump is o = 0.075. The pump is installed to pump 60°C water at sea level. If the total head loss between the inlet and the suction side of the pump is 0.5 m, determine the allowable level of the pump intake relative to the supply reservoir water surface elevation if cavitation is to be avoided. The discharge is 0.04 m'/sec, and the pipe systeni is the one used in Example 5.8.

9.7. Through a hydraulic turbine flow 2.8 m3/s of water. On the 1 m inlet pipe at elevation 43.5,a pressure gage reads 345 kPa. On the 1.5 m discharge pipe at elevation 39, a vacuum gage reads150 mm of mercury. If the total head lost through pipes and turbines between elevations 43.5and 39 is 9 m, what power may be expected from the machine?
An oil of specific gravity 0.89 is flowing through a horizontal venturimeter fitted to a 242 mm diameter pipe at the rate of 108 liters/s and throat diameter is 98 mm. The entrance and throat of the venturimeter are connected in the two limbs of a U-tube mercury manometer. The difference in mercury level shows 841 mm. Calculate (i) the head difference in m of oil, (ii) the theoretical discharge in m3/s, (iii) the actual discharge in m3/s, and (iv) the coefficient of discharge of a venturimeter. If instead of a U-tube mercury manometer, the pressure gauges are inserted at the entrance and throat of venturimeter. Find (v) the pressure at the throat in N/mm2, if the entrance pressure gauge shows0.13 N/mm2.
