A pump transfers water from a large 0pen tank to another tank above it. At the suction side, the friction losses is equivalent to 6.4ft of water. The vapor pressure of water is 0.46psi. If the NPSH available is 15ft, calculate the elevation difference bet the open tank and the pump.
A tank filled with water at 30°C is supplies water for a shower based on gravity driven flow. The system includes 20 m of 1.5-cm-diameter galvanized iron piping with four 90° miter bends without vanes and a wide-open globe valve. The entrance to the pipe from the tank is square-edged, and the showerhead has an exit loss coefficient of 0.5. If water is to flow at a rate of 0.7 L/s through the showerhead, determine how high the water level in the tank must be above the exit level of the shower to meet the flow requirement.
