  1. A 10 ft diameter tank with a quick opening value to a sump has a 10 ft depth of liquid. How long does it take to drain the tank if the valve is assumed to be equivalent to a 4 in Diameter orifice? The liquid density is 60 lb/ft3

 

  1. 700 gpm of water are being discharged by a centrifugal pump 5 ft above the pump inlet. The inlet pressure is 4 inHg above atmospheric and the discharge pressure is 29 psia. If the pump has an 8 in inlet diameter and 4 in discharge diameter.Calculate (a) the pump efficiency (b) the new flowrate and brake horse power if the pump speed is increased from 1600 to 3200 rp,. Assume the pump input is 8 Hp
  2. For measuring liquid level in an inaccessible underground tank, the scheme as shown in the figure below is employed. The manometer fluid has a density of 2.5 g/ml while that of the liquid in the tank is 1.05 g/ml. Air flow is controlled so that the frictional, contraction, and expansion losses in the feed line amount to 97 ft. Velocity in 1/4" tubing is 2.13 ft/s and that in 1/2" pipe is 0.28 ft/s. Density of air = 0.0754Ib/ft3. If the manometer shows a 6" differential, calculate the liquid height (h) in the vessel. (
