The water needs of a small farm are to be met by pumping water from a well that can supply water continuously at a rate of 5 L/s. The water level in the well is 20 m below the around level, and water is to be pumped to large tank on a hill, which is 58 m above the ground level of the well, using 6-cm internal diameter plastic pipes. The required length of piping is measured to be 510 in. and the total minor loss coefficient due to the use of elbows, vanes, etc. is estimated to be 12. Taking the efficiency of the pump to be 75 percent, determine the rated power of the pump that needs to be purchased, in kW. The density and viscosity of water at anticipated operation conditions are taken to be 1000 kgm3 and 0.00131 kg/m.s, respectively. Is it wise to purchase a suitable pump that meets the total power requirements, or is it necessary to also pay particular attention to the large elevation head in this case? Explain. Answer: 6.89kW

The ends of this compound pipe are connected with two tanks whose difference of water levels is 16 m. If co-eficient of friction for these pipes is same and equal to 0.005, determine the discharge through the compound pipe neglecting first the minor losses and then including them.arrow_forwardThe water needs of a small farm are to be met by pumping water from a well that can supply water continuously at a rate of 4 L/s. The water level in the well is 1500 mm below the ground level, and water is to be pumped to a large tank on a hill, which is 58 m above the ground level of the well, using 5-cm internal diameter plastic pipes. The required length of piping is measured to be 500 m, and the total minor loss coefficient due to the use of elbows, vanes, etc. is estimated to be 12.

The system requires 0.06 m³/s of water pumped to a reservoir at the top of the tower 340 m above the street. City water pressure at the street-level pump inlet is 400 kPa gage. The piping is to be commercial steel, the overall length is 20 percent greater than the tower height, and there are fittings every 10 m with loss coefficients of 0.2. Determine the minimum diameter required to keep the average water velocity below 3.5 m/s in the pipe. Calculate the pressure rise required across the pump and estimate the minimum power needed to drive the pump.arrow_forward

A water from Agno River is pumped using a submerged pump at an efficiency of 78% that is discharged to aswimming pool in Itogon which has a free surface of 30 m above the Agno River water level. The pipe that wasused has a diameter of 7 cm on the suction line and 5 cm on the discharge line from the pump. If the powerrequirement of the pump is 5 kW assuming that the elevation difference between the pump inlet and outletand the effect of the kinetic energy correction factors are negligible, calculate for the followinga) Power requirement by the pump in kWb) Pressure difference across the pumpc) Pumping cost/day(24 hour) if the electricity cost is ₱2.00/kW-hrarrow_forwardThe water needs of a small farm are to be met by pumping water from a well that can supply water continuously at a rate of 4 L/s.

Explain.arrow_forwardTwo vertical circular cylindrical tanks are connected near the bottom by a short tube having a cross-sectional area of 0.78 sq ft. The inside diameter of the tanks are 10 ft and 5 ft. The tanks contain oil (sp gr 0.30). With a valve in the connecting tube closed, the oil surface in the larger tank is 12 ft above the tube and in the smaller tank 2 ft above. Assuming a constant discharge coefficient for the tube of 0.75, find the time in which the oil surfaces in the two tanks will reach the same elevation following a quick opening of the valve.

The 380 meter long Pipe is Made of cast iron of 150 mm diameter and consist of a check valve, a gate valve and 3 commercial elbows of medium Radius.The consumir tank is pressurized to 3.5 Kgf/cm2 gauge pressure.Determine the driving power of the KW pump if it's efficiency is 73%.

Ball Valve Patm Problem 2: The drain on a large tank of liquid consists of a ball valve with a 2 cm inside diameter that connects to the tank with a well-rounded flow entrance. The height of the fluid surface above the valve entrance is denoted h. The pressure in the air space above the surface of the fluid is the same as that outside of the tank, Patm. Taking the losses to come solely from the ball valve and its entrance region, perform the following analysis: a. Find the velocity of the flow through the valve and the flow rate (in liters/sec) when h = 6 meters and the valve is fully open. b. Find the increase in fluid height h required to maintain the same flow rate as that found in Part a. with the ball valve 1/3 closed. c. How does the change in fluid height in Part b. compare with the increase in head loss caused by the partial closing of the valve?arrow_forwardIn a ship's machinery space, a large sea water tank has a drain connected to the ship's hull by 20 metres of 50 mm pipe as illustrated in Figure 2.2 below.

- We are interested in pumping biodiesel between two pumping stations that are 300 km apart, being the second pumping station 300 m higher than the first one. We need a flow rate of 0.7 m/s using a 30 in i.d. commercial steel pipe. The pressure at the first station is 120 kPa and at the second stations it needs to be 350 kPa. Considering a kinematic viscosity for biodiesel of 4.09 x10 - 5 m²/s and a density of 874.6 kg/m?, determine the power required to pump the biodiesel from station 1 to station 2.
