A motor-pump assembly in a pumping station experiences severe vibration (may not be at resonance) when the motor operates at its normal operating speed of 2500 rpm. After a 1.5 kg un-damped absorber tuned to 2500 rpm is added to the part of the assembly, the system's new natural frequencies are measured as 2492 rpm and 2509 rpm.

A 3-m-diameter tank is initially filled with water 2 m above the center of a sharp-edged 10-cm-diameter orifice. The tank water surface is open to the atmosphere, and the orifice drains to the atmosphere through a 100-m-long pipe. The friction coefficient of the pipe is taken to be 0.015 and the effect of the kinetic energy correction factor can be neglected. In order to drain the tank faster, a pump is installed near the tank exit as in fig . Determine how much pump power input is necessary to establish an average water velocity of 4 m/s when the tank is full at z = 2 m. Also, assuming the discharge velocity to remain constant, estimate the time required to drain the tank. Someone suggests that it makes no difference whether the pump is located at the beginning or at the end of the pipe, and that the performance will be the same in either case, but another person argues that placing the pump near the end of the pipe may cause cavitation. The water temperature is 30°C, so the water…
