Figure 5 shows a pump connected to a large tank of water. Water flows out of the tank through the pump into a galvanized iron pipe of diameter D = 80 mm at a length, L= 40 m. At the end of the pipe, water exits through a nozzle of diameter D2 = 50 mm. With the height of water h, the pump adds 30 kW of power to the water resulting in a volumetric flowrate of Q=0.05 m³/s. Ignore the length of the nozzle and assume that the velocities are uniform. By using the same height of water and pipe, explain and justify with your calculation, which parameter(s) will be affected if the pump is to be removed from the system.

This is a fluid machine question. The pump draws water from a reservoir 4 m below the pump centerline. The length of pipe from the reservoir to the pump is 150 m and from the pump to the nozzle is 1500 m. The pipe diameters before and after the pump are 450 mm and 600 mm respectively. The pressure in the reservoir is 95 kPa and the vapor pressure of the fluid is 3.5 kPa. Use f=0.02. The pump is to operate such that the discharge will be the maximum possible. Determine the maximum rate at which water may be pumped from the reservoir?
