A pump takes water at 60°F from a large reservoir and delivers it to the bottom of an open elevated tank 25 ft above the reservoir surface through a 3 inch ID pipe. The inlet to the pump is located 10 ft below the water surface, and the water level in the tank is constant at 160 ft above the reservoir surface. The pump delivers 150 gal/min. If the total loss of energy due to friction in the piping system is 35 ft·lbf/lb, Calculate the horsepower required to do the pumping. The pump and its motor have an overall efficiency of 55 %.

ii. Determine the theoretical shaft work required in foot-pound force per pound mass..
iii.Determine the actual shaft work needed for this particular mass flow rate in (ft-lbf)/s.
A pump test reports the section pressure at a pump inlet to be 20 kPa below atmosphere. The discharge pressure at a point 1,025 mm above the inlet is 520 kPa. If the volume flow rate of water in the system is 87 L/min, calculate the power, in Watts, delivered by the pump to the fluid.
Find the volume flow rate of water exiting from the tank shown in Fig. 7.12. The tank is sealed with a pressure of 140 kPa above the water. There is an energy loss of 2.0 N-m/N as the water flows through the nozzle.
