Chapter 10, Problem 53P
Consider the flow system shown in Problem 8.94. Assume the minimum NPSHR at the pump inlet is 15 ft of water. Select a pump appropriate for this application. Use the data for increase in friction factor with pipe age given in Problem 10.52 to determine and compare the system flow rate after 10 years of operation.

Determine the recommended minimum speed (rpm) for a radial flow pump operating at 0.165 m3/s of water against a head of 300 m
Water recirculates at a volume flow rate of 0.4524 ft3/min from the blade outlet to the impeller, and shaft sealing losses are negligible. A centrifugal pump has a hydraulic efficiency of 95% and a mechanical efficiency of 93%, respectively. Calculate the pump efficiency in percent if the pump delivers water at a flow rate of 12 ft3/min.
Calculate the minimal head of the pump required to pump 1 m³ of water per second to the height 10 m trough a pipe with cross sectional area 0.1 m². Assume constant friction coefficient f = 0.04 and neglect all losses in fittings. The pump head is the gravity head plus losses and so it can be found?
