Consider that water is pumped a distance equal to the last three digits of 917551848 in kilometer from a reservoir (Reservoir A) at mean sea level elevation to a second reservoir (Reservoir B) at elevation 50 ft. above mean sea level. The pipeline connecting the reservoirs has a diameter of 60 in and is constructed of concrete with an absolute roughness of 0.003. If the flow is equal to 917551848 in liter per week and the efficiency of the pumping station is 75%, what will be the monthly power bill if electricity costs is the same as the highest rate of the electricity provider of your community in cents/kwh?

It is required to pump water at the rate of 8.750 gpm from a reservoir whose surface is at an elevation of 180 ft to a tank whose bottom is at an elevation of 372 ft, The pump is placed at an elevation of 192 ft, the diameter of the suction pipe is 30 inch, the length of the pipe from the pump to the tank is 290 ft, and the estimated size of this pipe is 24 inch. The sum of the minor head losses in the suction and discharge pipe may be taken as 1.5 ft, if the maximum depth of water in the tank is to be 25 ft, what is the required horsepower of a pump for which the overall efficiency is 67 percent? Assume head loss due to friction in 290 ft + 2 ft Neglect all other head losses.

A 1,200-mm diameter transmission pipe carries 126 l/s from an elevated storage tank with a water surface elevation of 540 m. Two kilometers from the tank, at an elevation of 434 m, a pressure meter reads 586 kPa. If there are no pumps between the tank and the meterlocation, what is the rate of head loss in the pipe? (Note: 1 kPa = 1,000 N/m2.)
A pump is being utilized to deliver a flow rate of 500 li/sec from a reservoir of surface elevation of 65 m to another reservoir of surface elevation 95 m. The total length and diameter of the suction and discharge pipes are 500 mm, 1500 m and 30 mm, 1000 m respectively. Assume a head lose of 2 me- ters per 100 m length of the suction pipe and 3 m per 100 m length of the discharge pipe. What is the required horsepower of the pump?

Tank A has an elevation of 100 m and Tank B has an elevation of 160 m. Since Tank A is lower than B, engineers have installed a pump near A to transfer fluid to B. The discharge in the pipe is at 0.65 cubic meters per second and pipe has a length of 1 km. with a diameter of 0.6 meters. If Hazen williams coefficient is equal to 120, compute the head loss in the pipe.

A dam supplies to a suburban area using a 0.21m diameter pipeline that is 800m long. For the water to reach the intended reservoir, a pump is needed to raise the flow to a point 125m above the pump. If the flow within the pipe is 0.11 m3/s, determine the savings in horsepower if the engineers decided to replace the old pipe (f = 0.034 with a new 0.29m diameter pipe with f = 0.024.
Three reservoirs are connected at a junction, P, as shown. Reservoir A, whose surface elevation is at 60.0 metersfrom a given datum, discharges water at a rate of Q1 to junction P. Reservoir B, whose surface elevation is at 20.0m, then receives water from the junction at a rate of Q2, while Reservoir C, whose surface elevation is at 0.0 m,then receives water from the same junction at a rate of Q3. The head loss as fluid travels through the pipe fromreservoir A to the junction is hL1. The head loss as the fluid travels from the junction to reservoir B is hL2 and thehead loss as the fluid travels from the junction to reservoir C is hL3. (a) Setup the continuity equation at the junction.(b) What is the total head loss, in meters (give the numeric value), as water travels from reservoir A to reservoir B?(c) Similarly, what is the total head loss, in meters (give the numeric value), as water travels from reservoir A toreservoir C?
In the figure shown, water (ν = 1 x 10-6 m2/s) flows at a rate of 5 L/s on a system of pipes. There are 40 m of 50-mm diameter pipe, 22 m of 150-mm diameter pipe, and 45 m of 75-mm diameter pipe, all cast-iron. There are two 90o elbows and an open globe valve. If the exit elevation is zero, determine the following:a) friction loss on each pipeb) total minor loss from the surface of the reservoir to the exitc) head extracted by the turbined) mechanical power extracted by the turbine
Reservoir A is at elevation 240m. From Reservoir A, a 450mm pipe, 600m long connects to point B at elevation 210m. The discharge on this 450mm diameter pipe is 200 liters/second. At point B, it divides into a 300mm pipe, 3900 m long to Reservoir C at elevation 195m and into Reservoir D at elevation 135m, which is 1200m long. Neglecting minor losses in the pipes, calculate the diameter (in mm) of the pipe that discharges into Reservoir D. Use f = 0.02 for all pipes. Round off your answer to a whole number.
