You only know one point on a pump curve, where a water pump produces 20 m of hydraulic head at flow rate of 3.67 L/s, and you want to use this to pump water from a lower tank to an upper tank located 15 m higher. Both tanks are open to the atmosphere. Briefly explain your reasoning, in 1‐2 sentences, for each of the following. a) Should this pump be placed next to the lower tank or the higher one? b) Given the data point you have from the pump curve, will the flow rate be higher or lower than 3.67 L/s if the water is pumped exactly 15 m uphill?
After graduation, you work for a pump manufacturing company. One of your company’s best-selling products is a water pump, which we shall call pump A. Its impeller diameter is DA = 6.0 cm, and its performance data when operating at n. A = 1725 rpm (?A = 180.6 rad/s) are shown in Table.The marketing research department is recommending that the company design a new product, namely, a larger pump (which we shall call pump B) that will be used to pump liquid refrigerant R-134a at room temperature. The pump is to be designed such that its best efficiency point occurs as close as possible to a volume flow rate of V. B = 2400 cm3 /s and at a net head of HB = 450 cm (of R-134a). The chief engineer (your boss) tells you to perform some preliminary analyses using pump scaling laws to determine if a geometrically scaled-up pump could be designed and built to meet the given requirements. (a) Plot the performance curves of pump A in both dimensional and dimensionless form, and identify the best…

1Two water pumps are arranged in series. The performance data for both pumps follow the parabolic curve fit Havailable =H0 =aV ^2. For pump 1, H0 =5.30 m and coefficient a =0.0438 m/Lpm^2; for pump 2, H0 =8.70 m and coefficient a =0.0347 m/Lpm^2. In either case, the units ofnet pump head H are m, and the units of capacity V are Lpm.Calculate the combined shutoff head. Complete Answer, thank you
Pls show detailed solution Example 2.2A typical industrial-scale wind turbine has a peak efficiency of about 0.44 for a wind speed of 9 m·s−1. That is, it converts about 44% of the kinetic energy of the wind approaching it into usable electrical energy. The total air flow impinging on such a turbine with a rotor diameter of 43 m is about 15,000 kg·s−1 for the given wind speed. a) How much electrical energy is produced when 1 kg of air passes through the turbine?(b) What is the power output of the turbine?(c) If there is no heat transferred to the air, and if its temperature remains unchanged, what is its change in speed upon passing through the turbine?

The capital cost of a hydro-power station of 50 MW capacity is Rs 1,000 per kW. The annual depreciation charges are 10% of the capital cost. A royalty of Re 1 per kW per year and Re 0·01 per kWh generated is to be paid for using the river water for generation of power. The maximum demand on the power station is 40 MW and annual load factor is 60%. Annual cost of salaries, maintenance charges etc. is Rs 7, 00,000. If 20% of this expense is also chargeable as fixed charges, calculate the generation cost in two part form.
