Question

In order to provide irrigation, water has to be pumped to
an elevation 120 m through a 600 mm pipe where the
pressure required at the higher elevation is 172 kPa. The
source of the water and the discharge point are at
atmospheric pressure. Irrigation requirements dictate
that water must be pumped at the rate of 1m3
/sec. The
loss of head due to friction and other factors is estimated
to be 2.4m. Elevation of the water source is 60 m. Find
the rating of the pump in horsepower if it is only 80%
efficient.
(See Figure-259 attached at the last page)
A. 620.11 kW C. 660.30 kW
B. 711.65 kW D. 835.25 kW

Figure 259: 2 600 mm Ø El. 120 P=172 KP Elev. 60 m.

    A fire pumper pumps 150 gpm of water from a fire hydrant through 250 feet of 2.5" c=120 fire hose. 50 feet of the hose are on the suction side of the pump with the remaining 200 feet are on the discharge side. The hydrant and the pump are at the same elevation and the pressure in the hydrant is 20 psi. The velocity head in the source main is negligible. The discharge is through a 1.5 inch nozzle at...
