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.

11. Water is pumped from a reservoir at a lower elevation to an elevated reservoir by using a suitable pump. The lower reservoir water level have an atmospheric pressure head of I and is at an elevation of 20 ft. while the intake/suction side of the pump is at an elevation of 25 ft. The water is pumped at a rate of 425 gpm in a 6" diameter pipe, friction factor () is 0.017 and the length of pipe is...
Water at room temperature is pumped through a smooth pipe. The pipe has diameter of 10cm. The total length is10 km. The discharge is 80 m3 /h. A pump is installed at the inlet. At the exit of pump, the absolute pressure of the water is 25 atm. The exit exposes to the atmosphere and its elevation is 100 m higher than the inlet. Estimate the frictional head loss hf.
Task 1: You were asked to check up the status of the water system. Water at 24 °C is to be pumped from a Lower reservoir with 100 m elevation to another reservoir at a higher elevation 112 m through 150-m-long pipe as shown in Figure (1). The pipe is made of steel, and the diameter of the pipe is equal to 30 cm. Water is to be pumped by a 72% efficient motor-pump combination that draws 33 A of...

Underground water is to be pumped by a 78 percent efficient 5-kW submerged pump to a pool whose free surface is 30 m above the underground water level. The diameter of the pipe is 7 cm on the intake side and 5 cm on the discharge side. Determine (a) the maximum flow rate of water and (b) the pressure difference across the pump. Assume the elevation difference between the pump inlet and the outlet and the effect of the kinetic...
Q4. In a pipe 0.3 m in diameter, 0.3 m2/s of water is pumped up a hill. On a hilltop (elevation 48 m) the line reduces to 0.2 m diameter. If the pump maintains a pressure of 690 kpa at elevation 21 m calculate the pressure in the pipe on the hilltop
The school decides to create a new Fluids test facility on the lab building roof. Underground water needs to be pumped bu a 7373% efficient 5.05.0-kW submerged pump to the facility, which has a free surface h=3030 m above the underground water level. The diameter of the pipe is 7.07.0 cm on the intake side and 5.05.0 cm on the discharge side.Assume the elevation difference between the pump inlet and the outlet and the effect of the kinetic energy correction factors to be negligible.a) Determine the maximum...
