The water level in a tank is 20 m above the ground. A hose is connected to the bottom of the tank, and the nozzle at the end of the hose is pointed straight up. The tank is at sea level, and the water surface is open to the atmosphere. In the line leading from the tank to the nozzle is a pump, which increases the pressure of water. If the water jet rises to a height of 29 m from the ground, determine the minimum pressure rise supplied by the pump to the waterline.

The water level in a tank is 12 m above the ground. A hose is connected to the bottom of the tank, and the nozzle at the end of the hose is pointed straight up. The tank is at 13 m above the sea level, and the water surface is open to the atmosphere. In the line leading from the tank to the nozzle is a pump, which increases the water pressure by 50 kPa. Determine the maximum height above the sea level to which the water stream could rise.
In a Francis turbine, the pressure gage in the turbine casing reads 465 kpa. The elevation above the tailrace to the center of spiral casing is 10 m. Velocity of water entering the turbine is 12 m/s. Determine the Pressure head.
A simple pitot tube and a piezometer are installed in a vertical pipe as shown in the figure. If the deflection in the mercury manometer is 0.1 m, then determine the velocity of the water at the center of the pipe. The densities of water and mercury are 1000 kg/m3 and 13600 kg/m3 , respectively.
A person is filling a knee-high bucket with water using a garden hose and holding it such that water discharges from the hose at the level of his waist. Someone suggests that the bucket will fill faster if the hose is lowered such that water discharges from the hose at the knee level. Do you agree with this suggestion? Explain. Disregard any frictional effects.
The water level in a tank is 12 m above the ground. A hose is connected to the bottom of the tank, and the nozzle at the end of the hose is pointed straight up. The tank cover is airtight, and the air pressure above the water surface is 3 atm gage. The system is at sea level. Determine the maximum height to which the water stream could rise.
The drinking water needs of an office are met by large water bottles. One end of a 0.35-in-diameter, 6-ft-long plastic hose is inserted into the bottle placed on a high stand, while the other end with an on/off valve is maintained 3 ft below the bottom of the bottle. If the water level in the bottle is 1 ft when it is full, determine how long it would take to fill an 8-oz glass (= 0.00835 ft3) (a) when the bottle is first opened and (b) when the bottle is almost empty. Take the total minor loss coefficient, including the on/off valve, to be 2.8 when it is fully open. Assume the water temperature to be the same as the room temperature of 70°F.
The water level in a tank is 20 m above the ground. A hose is connected to the bottom of the tank, and the nozzle at the end of the hose is pointed straight up. The water stream from the nozzle is observed to rise 25 m above the ground. Explain what may cause the water from the hose to rise above the tank level.
Water from a reservoir is raised in a vertical tube of internal diameter D = 30 cm under the influence of the pulling force F of a piston. Determine the force needed to raise the water to a height of h = 1.5 m above the free surface. What would your response be for h = 3 m? Also, taking the atmospheric pressure to be 96 kPa, plot the absolute water pressure at the piston face as h varies from 0 to 3 m.
What is mechanical efficiency? What does a mechanical efficiency of 100 percent mean for a hydraulic turbine?
Water enters a hydraulic turbine through a 30-cm-diameter pipe at a rate of 0.6 m3/s and exits through a 25-cm-diameter pipe. The pressure drop in the turbine is measured by a mercury manometer to be 1.2 m. For a combined turbine– generator efficiency of 83 percent, determine the net electric power output. Disregard the effect of the kinetic energy correction factors
The air velocity in the duct of a heating system is to be measured by a Pitot-static probe inserted into the duct parallel to the flow.
