A pump is being supplied with water from an open tank. The water level of the source reservoir is 6m below the pump center line. The length of the pipe (suction line ) is 10m and 50cm inner diameter with (coefficient of friction of .025). The atmospheric pressure of that altitude is 101325 Pa, and pump flowrate is 30O L/s. IF the vapor pressure of 20 °C water is at 2400 Pa, what is the NPSHa of the pump in meter?

A sump pump (used to drain water from the basement of houses built below the water table) is draining a flooded basement at the rate of 0.85 L/s, with an output pressure of 3.05 × 105 Pa. a. The water enters a hose with a 2.8 cm inside diameter and rises 2.4 m above the pump. What is its pressure at this point, in pascals? You may neglect frictional losses. ( dont forget to convert the diameters of pipes into meters.) b. The hose then goes over the foundation wall, losing 0.35 m in height, and widens to 4.4 cm in diameter. What is the pressure now, in pascals? You may neglect frictional losses. ( dont forget to convert the diameters of pipes into meters.) Note: answer iS NOT 3.29 x 10^5 for either of these.
The owners of a smallholding water their vegetable garden using collected rainwater from atank. Thetankhasadiameterofbm,itisam tall and sits on a 6 m tall stand. The inner diameter of the hose is c cm, and the hose is (20 +5d) m long. If the tank was initially filled to the brim, how long will it take before the tank is empty? Assume that there is a single ball valve (K = 0.05) in the line, and that the spray nozzle has a hole diameter that is 20 % of the diameter of the hose. You may ignore all other losses in the nozzle. a = 9 b = 8 c = 7 d = 1 Hint: Use an Excel spreadsheet or C program for the calculations.
