Suppose the pump of Fig. P14–23 is operating atfree delivery conditions. The pipe, both upstream and downstreamof the pump, has an inner diameter of 2.0 cm andnearly zero roughness. The minor loss coefficient associatedwith the sharp inlet is 0.50, each valve has a minor loss coefficientof 2.4, and each of the three elbows has a minor losscoefficient of 0.90. The contraction at the exit reduces thediameter by a factor of 0.60 (60% of the pipe diameter), andthe minor loss coefficient of the contraction is 0.15. Note thatthis minor loss coefficient is based on the average exit velocity,not the average velocity through the pipe itself. The total length of pipe is 6.7 m, and the elevation difference is (z1 - z2)= 4.6 m. Estimate the volume flow rate through this pipingsystem.

A pelton type turbine was installed 31m below the head gate of the penstock. The head loss due to friction is 15% of the given elevation. The length of the penstock is 80 m and the coefficient of friction is 0.00093 (Morse). Determine the diameter in meters of the penstock and the power output in KW.
1. Assume a horizontal shaft handling water at 65 deg C (Pv=2.503 KPa, Density=980.5 m3/kg). The suction nozzle is 4.35 m below the pump centerline and the pressure gauge reading at this point is 221Kpag. Determine the NPSHa if the head loss is 0.82 m.
If the NPSHr is 3m less than the NPSHa you got on question number 1, determine the pump suction specific speed at pump rotating at 1800rpm and Q=500gpm
