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.
A pump is used to lift water at ambient temperature from one tank to another at a rate of 08/50 m3/min. If the pipe diameter is 4 in, calculate the power required to run the pump (efficiency 70%). The pipe material is commercial steel and contains 3 standard radius elbows. Assume h=1 cP.
Calculate the Reynolds number and the friction head loss using the Moody chart attached,
Using Colebrook equation.
Calculate the other losses and the total loss,
(Calculate the required power.
Flow rate is not necessary for answering the question.
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?
