PROBLEM 02: Water entering a pump through an 200mm diameter pipe at 27.6 kPa has a flow rate of 0.1 m^3/s. It leaves the pump through a 100mm diameter pipe at 103.4 kPa. Assuming that the suction and discharge sides of the pump are at the same elevation, find the horsepower delivered to the water by the pump (746 watts = 1 HP). Illustrate the problem and show your complete solution.
A storage reservoir supplies water to a pressure turbine under a head of 20 m. If the flow rate is 500 liters per second the head loss in the 300 mm pipe supplying the turbine is 2.5 m. Determine the pressure at the entrance of the turbine. If a negative pressure of 30 kPa exists at the 600 mm diameter section of the draft tube (exit tube) below the turbine 1.5 m below the supply line, estimate the energy absorbed by the turbine in kW neglecting losses between the entrance and exit of the pipe. Find also the output of the turbine assuming an efficiency of 85%
