Water is pumped from a reservoir to a pressurized storage tank (P = 150 kPa gauge) atop a building by means of a centrifugal pump. There is a 70-m difference in elevation between the water surface in the reservoir and the end of the discharge line. The piping system consists of 80m of 5" SCH 40 steel pipe containing two 90o elbows, one gate valve, one rotary water meter, and six couplings from the reservoir to the pump; 3" SCH 40 steel pipe for 86m to the tank. The 3" pipe contains two gate valves, four 90o elbows, and ten couplings. It is desired to maintain a flow of water into the tank of 2.4 m3/min. Water temperature is 25oC. If the pump-motor set has efficiency of 65%, what would be the pumping costs be in pesos per day if electricity costs PhP 10.50/kW-hr?
Water at 70oF is pumped from a pressurized reservoir (4 psig) to a storage tank atop a building by means of a centrifugal pump. The level of water in the pressurized reservoir is 60 ft above the center-line of the pump. The piping system consists of 120 ft. equivalent length of 4" SCH 40 steel pipe containing two (2) globe valve (bevel-seat) and four (4) - 90o standard elbows and from the pressurized reservoir to the pump; 4" SCH 40 pipe follows the pump for an equivalent length of 25 ft. after which the pipe size is decreased to 3" SCH 40 steel pipe for an equivalent length of 260 ft. to the tank. The 3" SCH 40 pipe contains two (2) - 90o standard elbows. If it is desired to maintain a flow of water of 400 gpm into the storage tank and the level of the liquid in the storage tanks is 250 ft. above the center-line of the pipe, determine the following at the suction and discharge points: a) total friction heads b) suction pressure and discharge pressure c) Reynold's number in the pipes…
A Francis turbine is installed with a vertical draft tube. The top of the draft is 1.0 m below thecenter line of spiral casing while the tail race water level is 3.0 m from the top of the draft tube. There is no velocity of whirl at the top or bottom of the draft tube and leakage are negligible.
