The below figure shows a pump that transfers a steady stream of 35◦API crude oil from an oiltanker to a refinery storage tank, both free surfaces being open to the atmosphere. Theeffective length—including fittings—of the commercial steel pipe is 6,000 ft. The dischargeat point 4 is 200 ft above the pump exit, which is level with the free surface of oil in thetanker. However, because of an intervening hill, point 3 is at a higher altitude than point 4.Losses between points 1 and 2 may be ignored.The crude oil has the following properties:Density ρ = 53 lbm/ft 3 ; Viscosity μ = 13.2 cP; Vapour Pressure Pv = 4.0 psia Answer the following questions:1. If the combination of pump and motor is 80% efficient, how much electrical power(kW) is needed to drive the pump?2. If, in order to avoid vapour lock, the pressure in the pipeline must always be above thevapor pressure of the crude oil, what is the maximum permissible elevation of point 3relative to point 4?3. If the flow in the pipeline…

Water (15 C) is transported from an open reservoir to the atmosphere through a new cast iron pipe (d = 4 in). At the end of the pipe there is a fully open gate valve. Evaluate the maximum flow rate (gal / min) through the pipe.
Calculate the minimal head of the pump required to pump 1 m³ of water per second to the height 10 m trough a pipe with cross sectional area 0.1 m². Assume constant friction coefficient f = 0.04 and neglect all losses in fittings. The pump head is the gravity head plus losses and so it can be found?

An air-conditioning system is designed to have a ductwith a rectangular cross section 1 ft by 2 ft, as shown. Duringconstruction, a truck driver backed into the duct and made it atrapezoidal section, as shown. The contractor, behind schedule,installed it anyway. For the same pressure drop along the pipe,what will be the ratio of the velocity in the trapezoidal duct tothat in the rectangular duct? Assume the Darcy-Weisbach resistance coefficient is the same for both ducts.
assume a flow of 1.7 m3/hr. the pressure readings are 0.1 bar at the bare pump and 0.3 at the integral pump when they are connected in series. calculate the corresponding heads of the above pumps connected in series. what happens if the pumps are connected in parallel? Please correct answer
