- A pump is operated is 3 hp with an efficiency of 65% which is able to deliver water 100 gal/min flow rate water (density 62,4 lb(m)/ft3). Calculate the developed head in ft. Keep 3 sig. figsarrow_forwardA pumping station wet well operates between 540- and 550-ft elevation. The pump curve is deϐined by the following points: 80 ft at zero ϐlow, 78 ft at 200 gpm, 65 ft at 800 gpm, and 50 ft at 1200 gpm. The pump discharge contains an equivalent of 50 ft of 6-in. pipe. The discharge pipe is 120-ft long and terminates at a splitter box, elevation 570. Using C=100, plot the pump curve and the corrected pump curve. Plot the pump discharge curves at each wet well elevation and for C=100 and C=140. What is the pump ϐlow at the low and high wet well elevations for newand old pipe?arrow_forward18.A venture meter is a device that uses a constriction in a flow system to measure the velocity of flow, Figure 12 illustrate one type design. If the main pipe section is a standard hydraulic copper tube having a 100-mm outside diameter x 3.5-mm wall thickness, compute the volume flow rate when the velocity there is 3.0 m/s. Then, for that volume flow rate, specify the required size of throat section that would make the velocity there at least 15.0 m/s.arrow_forward
- A flow meter is attached to a hydraulic line that measures 8 gal/min. The line has an inside diameter of 1.5in. What is the flow rate measured in in3/min at the meter?arrow_forwardDerive an expression for time of emptying a tank through a pipe at its bottom,accounting for major and minor lossesarrow_forwardA pumped fluid distribution system is being designed to deliver 400 gal/min of water to a cooling system in a power generation plant. Use the figure below to make an initial selection of Schedule 40 pipe sizes for the suction and discharge lines for the system. Also, solve for the actual average velocity of flow for each pipe.arrow_forward
- Water is transported for 500 m in a 4 inch ductile iron pipe (coated) with a flow rate of 0.04 m3/s. Calculate the pressure drop over the 500 m length of pipe. (Calculate the friction factor f using the formula given in class notes/textbook, and not by using the Moody chart).arrow_forward1.calculate the pressure in a hydraulic system if the pump delivers 180 liters /min, and the engine has a power capacity of 75kw.2.The engine has a given capacity of 60kw, calculate the power requirement in a hydraulic system tool , to know that the engine is capable to support the hydraulic system if a pump delivers 110 liters per minute and the pressure is 227bar.arrow_forwardDiagram of the problem, necessary formulas, clearance and numerical solution 100 liters per minute flow through the faucet of a water pump. Find the flow and expense.arrow_forward
- a) Develop an equation for the head (in ft) developed by the pump described by the chartas a function of flow rate (in gpm) when the pump uses a 9 ¾” impeller. b) Develop an equation for the pump efficiency as a function of flow rate (gpm) when the pump uses a 9 ¾” impeller.arrow_forwardA fountain and a water tank will be powered by water from a nearby lake. The elevations and pipe connections are depicted in the diagram below. The fountain's jet water should reach a height of at least 2.5 m from the nozzle outlet. The tank, on the other hand, is elevated to allow gravity to distribute water. The table below contains the specifications for nozzles, suction and discharge pipes. What is the minimum power input to the pump in kW, assuming negligible minor head losses? Assume that the pump efficiency is 88 percent and the motor efficiency is 95 percent. The fountain's water is returned to the lake via a drainage system.arrow_forwardWater is pumped from a reservoir to a tank with a lift of 20.0 ft. The suction pipe, which connects the reservoir to the pump, has a 12in diameter and is 25ft long. The discharge pipe, which connects the pump to the tank, has a 10in diameter and is 450ft long. Both pipes may be classified as clean, smooth cast iron pipes. The suction pipe projects into the reservoir and discharge pipe projects into the tank. Considering all losses, calculate the horsepower required to operate the pump to discharge 1346 gpm into the tank.arrow_forward
