Chapter 8, Problem 96P
A system for testing variable-output pumps consists of the pump, four standard elbows, and an open gate valve forming a closed circuit as shown. The circuit is to absorb the energy added by the pump. The tubing is 75-mm-diameter cast iron, and the total length of the circuit is 20 m. Plot the pressure difference required from the pump for water flow rates Q ranging from 0.01 m3/s to 0.06 m3/s.

Water flows through the galvanized iron pipe system whose diameter is 0.75 inches and flow rate is 0.020 cfs. Do you agree with the fact that friction losses in the straight parts of the piping system are negligible with respect to losses to fittings?
1A venturi meter is introduced in a 300 mm diameter horizontal pipeline carrying a liquid under a pressure of 150 kPa. The throat diameter of the meter is 100 mm and the pressure at the throat is 400 mm of mercury below the atmosphere. If 3% of the differential pressure is lost between the inlet and the throat, determine the flow rate of the pipeline.
Can you draw the figure and complete solution:
1 - If the pipeline is now specified to be of Schedule 40 with a nominal diameter of 6 in., and the available pressure at the pump exit is P2 = 132.7 psig, what flow rate Q (gpm) can be expected?
Answer the following additional questions:
2 -If the combination of pump and motor is 80% efficient, how much electrical power (kW) is needed to drive the pump?
3 -, in order to avoid vapour lock, the pressure in the pipeline must always be above the vapor pressure of the crude oil, what is the maximum permissible elevation of point 3 relative to point 4?
4 -If the flow in the pipeline were at the upper limit of being laminar, what pump exit pressure would then be needed? (Answer this part without using the friction factor plot.
