The drinking water to a village is supplied from a reservoir which is 475 m above and 25 km away from the village. The water is transported from the reservoir to an open-top storage tank in the village via a circular pipe with a diameter of 18 cm and a roughness of 0.15 mm. The population of the village is 1500 people. There are two valves (K=2) and five 90° elbows (K=1.5) along the pipe. Assuming that an average person in the village consumes 225 L/day, determine the power (kW) of the pump needed to transter the water from the reservoir to the storage tank. You can take the density and viscosity of water as 1000 kg/m and 0.001 kg/m s, respectively, and you can neglect the inlet and exit losses and the kinetic energy correction factor effects.

A vented tanker is to be filled with fuel oil with ? = 920 kg/m3 and ? = 0.045 kg/m·s from an underground reservoir using a 25-m-long, 4-cm-diameter plastic hose with a slightly rounded entrance and two 90° smooth bends. The elevation difference between the oil level in the reservoir and the top of the tanker where the hose is discharged is 5 m. The capacity of the tanker is 18 m3 and the filling time is 30 min. Taking the kinetic energy correction factor at the hose discharge to be 1.05 and assuming an overall pump efficiency of 82 percent, determine the required power input to the pump.

A clothes dryer discharges air at 1 atm and 120°F at a rate of 1.2 ft3/s when its 5-in-diameter, well-rounded vent with negligible loss is not connected to any duct. Determine the flow rate when the vent is connected to a 15-ft-long, 5-in-diameter duct made of galvanized iron, with three 90° flanged smooth bends. Take the friction factor of the duct to be 0.019, and assume the fan power input to remain constant.
Two water reservoirs A and B are connected to each other through a 40-m-long, 2-cm-diameter cast iron pipe with a sharp-edged entrance. The pipe also involves a swing check valve and a fully open gate valve. The water level in both reservoirs is the same, but reservoir A is pressurized by compressed air while reservoir B is open to the atmosphere at 95 kPa. If the initial flow rate through the pipe is 1.5 L/s, determine the absolute air pressure on top of reservoir A. Take the water temperature to be 10°C.
