- A centrifugal pump delivers 0.071 m3/s of water against a head of 7.6-m at 1450 rpm and requires 6.7 kW. If the speed is reduced to 1200 rpm calculate the flow (in m3/s), assuming the same efficiency.arrow_forwardWhat is the horsepower requirement for a water pump, if the required flow rate is 200 gpm and the required pressure increase assigned to the pump is 32 psi?arrow_forwardCalculate the available suction head height of the centrifugal pump from the following data: (1) The atmospheric pressure is 730 V mm of mercury, (2) the head loss in the suction pipe (including friction loss and accessories loss, etc. is 2.95 meters, ( 3) The speed in the water suction pipe is 1.6m/sec, (4) the water temperature is 30°C.arrow_forward
- The axial flow pump produces a discharge of 0.055 m3/s. (Figure 1) The impeller is rotating at ω = 70 rad/s, and it has a mean radius of 75 mm. The diameter of the impeller's shaft is 100 mm. Determine the magnitude of the velocity of the water as it exits the blades. Determine the magnitude of the relative velocity of the water as it flows off the blades of the impeller.arrow_forwardThe water in figure 6 flows steadily at 20°C through the box shown, entering through section (1) at 2 m / s. Find (a) the horizontal and (b) vertical forces required to hold the box still.arrow_forwardFor a centrifugal pump of impeller diameter D rotating at N to develop a head of H and discharge Q, what would be the new head developed by the same pump if we halve the impeller speed to N/2?

- PROBLEM 4: In Lake Geneva (Switzerland), there is a water jet (called the Jet d’Eau) that is discharged 425 feet straight upward (measured from the surface of the lake). The exit of the discharge pipe is 8 inches in diameter. Calculate the volume flow rate of the water in ft^3/sarrow_forwardA centrifugal pump delivers 2.5 cfs of water against a head of 25 ft at 1500 rpm and requires 10 hp. If the speed is reduced to 1250 rpm calculate the flow (in m^3/s), assuming the same efficiency.arrow_forwardWater at 60°F is pumped from a reservoir to the top of a mountain through a 6-in. Schedule 120 pipe at an average velocity of 12 ft/s. The pipe discharges into the atmosphere at a level 3,000 ft above the level in the reservoir. The pipeline itself is 4,500 ft long. If the overall efficiency of the pump and the motor driving it is 70 percent and the cost of electric energy to the motor is 4 cents per kilowatt hour, what is the hourly energy cost for pumping this water?arrow_forward
- A centrifugal pump discharging 10 lps against 25 m of head and operating with an efficiency of 60% requires 4.1 kW at 1000 rpm. What is the theoretical discharge if the speed is increased to 1500 rpm assuming the efficiency remains constant? What is the theoretical head and kW at 1500 rpm?.arrow_forwardA hydraulic pump has a flow rate of 12 gpm and is rated for a maximum pressure of 2000 psi. if the pump is driven at 2100 rpm, what is the maximum Horsepower Output (HPout) of this pump?arrow_forwardDetermine the least number of stages for a multi stage pump to deliver 60L/s against a total head of 210 meters when running at 1453rpm. If the specific speed must not be less than 675.arrow_forward
