Problem 2 A pump is needed in a water supply system. The water is being pumped out of a ground-level storage reservoir with water surface elevation of 149.27 ft and needs to pass over a hill 2 miles away, where the pipe centerline is at elevation 200.00 ft. The flowrate is 22 mgd, pipe diameter is 24 inches, Hazen-Williams friction factor is 110, and pressure at the crest of the hill must be at least 20 psi. (a) What head must the pump provide? (b) How much power will be added to the water? (c) What size motor should be purchased if the pump/motor combination has an efficiency of 80 percent?

Suppose the pump of Fig. P14–23 is operating atfree delivery conditions. The pipe, both upstream and downstreamof the pump, has an inner diameter of 2.0 cm andnearly zero roughness. The minor loss coefficient associatedwith the sharp inlet is 0.50, each valve has a minor loss coefficientof 2.4, and each of the three elbows has a minor losscoefficient of 0.90. The contraction at the exit reduces thediameter by a factor of 0.60 (60% of the pipe diameter), andthe minor loss coefficient of the contraction is 0.15. Note thatthis minor loss coefficient is based on the average exit velocity,not the average velocity through the pipe itself. The total length of pipe is 6.7 m, and the elevation difference is (z1 - z2)= 4.6 m. Estimate the volume flow rate through this pipingsystem. Complete Answer, Thank you

Water is pumped from a reservoir to a pressurized storage tank (P = 150 kPa gauge) atop a building by means of a centrifugal pump. There is a 70-m difference in elevation between the water surface in the reservoir and the end of the discharge line. The piping system consists of 80m of 5" SCH 40 steel pipe containing two 90o elbows, one gate valve, one rotary water meter, and six couplings from the reservoir to the pump; 3" SCH 40 steel pipe for 86m to the tank. The 3" pipe contains two gate valves, four 90o elbows, and ten couplings. It is desired to maintain a flow of water into the tank of 2.4 m3/min. Water temperature is 25oC.

A Francis turbine is installed with a vertical draft tube. The top of the draft is 1.0 m below thecenter line of spiral casing while the tail race water level is 3.0 m from the top of the draft tube. There is no velocity of whirl at the top or bottom of the draft tube and leakage are negligible. Theelevation of water from the reservoir to the center line of the turbine spiral casing is 50 m, and watervelocity at the inlet is 5 m/sec. Discharge is 2.5 cu.m/sec, hydraulic efficiency is 86%, overallefficiency of 83%. Determine the reading of a pressure gage (in psi) if one is installed at thepenstock just before the water inlet to the turbine.
