A submersible pump with a shaft power of 10 kW and an efficiency of 80 percent is used to pump water from a lake to a pool through a constant diameter pipe. The free surface of the pool is 50m above the free surface of the lake. If the irreversible head loss in the piping system is 8 m, determine the discharge rate of water and the pressure difference across the pump.
In a hydroelectric power plant, 100 m3/s of water flows from an elevation of 120 m to a turbine, where electric power is generated . The total irreversible head loss in the piping system from point 1 to point 2 (excluding the turbine unit) is determined to be 35 m. If the overall efficiency of the turbine–generator is 80 percent, estimate the electric power output.
A centrifugal pump is required to deliver 50 liters of water per second to a height or 30 m through a 100 m long pipe of 15 cm diameter. The inlet losses in the suction pipe are estimated to be 0.35 m. Assuming an overall efficiency of 70 percent and taking Darcy’s friction coefficient of 0.015 for the pipeline, determine the power, in kW, required to drive the pump.
