- FLUID MECH Support your answer with the appropriate solution and diagram. 4. 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 27 m from the ground, determine the minimum pressure rise in kPa supplied by the pump to the water line.

- Solve fast with Proper Equation. 1. A centrifugal pump delivers 2.5 cfs of water against a head of 25 ft at 1500 rpm and requires 10 hp. If the speed is reduced to 1250 rpm calculate the power , assuming the same efficiency.

(Another way of thinking of back pressure is as the minimum pressure the pumper must produce in order to make water flow out the end of the nozzle.)

- For Questions 3 to 5 A certain centrifugal pump was tested and its performance curves can be approximated as follows: H = 340 - 1.2(Q^2), in feet BP = (0.0521Q^3) + (1.250^2)+(11.042Q) + 134.5, in horsepower where Q is in ft^3/s. Question 3 If a single pump is used to deliver water of a system which requires a total of 8 ft^3/s, what is the efficiency of the pump (in %)? Take the specific weight of water to be 62.4 lbf/ft^3. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.arrow_forwardDetermine the power requirement of the pump shown in Figure 3.0, assuming it has an efficiency of 88%. The system has a loss coefficient of 3.0 up to point A, and K =1.2 from point B to point C. Neglect any losses through the exit nozzle. Additionally, compute the pressures at points A and B.
