Water enters vertically and steadily at a rate of 35 L/s into the sprinkler shown, with unequal arms and unequal discharge areas. The smaller jet has a discharge area of 3 cm2 and a normal distance of 50 cm from the axis of rotation. The larger jet has a discharge area of 5 cm2 and a normal distance of 35 cm from the axis of rotation. Disregarding any frictional effects, determine (a) the rotational speed of the sprinkler in rpm and (b) the torque required to prevent the sprinkler from rotating.

A 25 hp suction pump operating at 70.00% efficiency draws water from a suction line whose diameter is 184 mm and discharges into the air through a line whose diameter is 134 mm. The velocity in the 134 mm line is 1.9 m/s. If the pressure at point A in the suction pipe is -28 kPa (negative sign indicates the pressure is below the atmosphere), where A is 1.8 m below B on the 134 mm line, determine the maximum elevation above B to which water can be raised assuming a head loss of 2.4 m due to friction. Show step by step explanation.
Water at 20°C is pumped at a constant rate of 9 m3/h from a large reservoir resting on the floor to the open top of an experimental absorption tower. The point of discharge is 5 m above the floor, and friction losses in the 50-mm pipe from the reservoir to the tower amount to 2.5 J/kg.

Assume that friction in the suction line is negligible. Toluene @ 35C is pumped from an open reservoir to a tank kept at a gauge pressure of 150 kPa. The pump itself is 3 m below the reservoir, while the discharge tank is 10m above the reservoir. While in the discharge line the friction head amounts to 7.5 m, determine the net positive suction head available for the pump. If the pump has an efficiency of 65%, determine the total power input. At the given temp, the density and vapor pressure of toluene are 862 kg/m3 and 40 mmHg.
The water enters the blades of the Francis turbine at an angle of 30 and leaves in radial direction. The blades are rotating at 40 rad/s and they discharge water at 0.5 m3/s. The blades have a width of 500 mm and the impeller radius for entrance and exit turbine are 1200 mm and 400 mm respectively. The turbine operates under a total head of 2 m. 1. Draw the blade velocity diagram for the turbine entrance. 2. Determine the torque and power the water supplies to the turbine shaft, also the hydraulic efficiency.
Reservoir A (Elev. 106 m.) to the turbine is connected by a 638 mm pipe. Another 638 mm pipe connects the turbine to Reservoir B (Elev. 85 m.). The loss of head from A to 1 is 5 times the velocity head of the pipe and the loss of head from 2 to B is 0.2 times the velocity head of the pipe. If water is being discharged at a rate of 741 L/s, determine the horsepower required for the turbine to operate. (Assume 100% efficiency.)
