Water 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.
Imagine the plug in the sink described in Problem 8.31 leaks. If it now takes 45 seconds to fill the sink to its rim, estimate the volumetric flow rate of the leak.
18.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.
