A person is filling a knee-high bucket with water using a garden hose and holding it such that water discharges from the hose at the level of his waist. Someone suggests that the bucket will fill faster if the hose is lowered such that water discharges from the hose at the knee level. Do you agree with this suggestion? Explain. Disregard any frictional effects.

The water level in a tank is 20 m above the ground. A hose is connected to the bottom of the tank, and the nozzle at the end of the hose is pointed straight up. The tank is at sea level, and the water surface is open to the atmosphere. In the line leading from the tank to the nozzle is a pump, which increases the pressure of water. If the water jet rises to a height of 29 m from the ground, determine the minimum pressure rise supplied by the pump to the waterline.

The water level in a tank is 70 ft above the ground. A hose is connected to the bottom of the tank, and the nozzle at the end of the hose is pointed straight up. The tank is at sea level, and the water surface is open to the atmosphere. In the line leading from the tank to the nozzle is a pump, which increases the water pressure by 15 psia. Determine the maximum height to which the water stream could rise.
The water level in a tank is 12 m above the ground. A hose is connected to the bottom of the tank, and the nozzle at the end of the hose is pointed straight up. The tank is at 13 m above the sea level, and the water surface is open to the atmosphere. In the line leading from the tank to the nozzle is a pump, which increases the water pressure by 50 kPa. Determine the maximum height above the sea level to which the water stream could rise.
Water enters a hydraulic turbine through a 30-cm-diameter pipe at a rate of 0.6 m3/s and exits through a 25-cm-diameter pipe. The pressure drop in the turbine is measured by a mercury manometer to be 1.2 m. For a combined turbine– generator efficiency of 83 percent, determine the net electric power output. Disregard the effect of the kinetic energy correction factors
Water flowing steadily at a rate of 0.16 m3/s is deflected downward by an angled elbow as shown. For D = 30 cm, d = 10 cm, and h = 50 cm, determine the force acting on the flanges of the elbow and the angle its line of action makes with the horizontal. Take the internal volume of the elbow to be 0.03 m3 and disregard the weight of the elbow material and the frictional effects.
A simple pitot tube and a piezometer are installed in a vertical pipe as shown in the figure. If the deflection in the mercury manometer is 0.1 m, then determine the velocity of the water at the center of the pipe. The densities of water and mercury are 1000 kg/m3 and 13600 kg/m3 , respectively.
A 15-hp (shaft) pump is used to raise water to a 42-m higher elevation. If the mechanical efficiency of the pump is 82%, determine the maximum volume flow of water.
Water is pumped from a large lower reservoir to a higher reservoir. Someone claims that if the head loss is negligible, the required pump head is equal to the elevation difference between the free surfaces of the two reservoirs. Do you agree?
A hydraulic turbine is used to generate power by using water in a dam. The elevation difference between the free surface stream and the downstream of the dam is 120 m. The water is supplied to the turbine at a rate of 150 kg/s. if the shaft power output from the turbine is 155 KW, the efficiency of the turbine is
The elevation of the dam is about 110 m above the power plant, and the total irreversible head loss in the piping system is determined to be 25 m. If the electric power output estimated to be 60 MW, determine the efficiency of the turbine–generator.
What is mechanical efficiency? What does a mechanical efficiency of 100 percent mean for a hydraulic turbine?
