Oil (density = 910Kg/m3 and viscosity 3.1 x10-3 Pa-s) is pumped from an open tank to a pressurized tank held at 400KPa gauge. The oil is pumped from an inlet at the side of the open tank through a line of commercial steel pipe (inside diameter 0.8m) at a rate of 5x10-3 m3/s. The length of the straight pipe is 150 m, and the pipe contains 4 (90-degree) elbows and two globe valve half open. The level of the liquid...
Water is pumped at a rate of 10 litres/s from a pond to an open tank. The pipe is 30 m in length and made of 1-in, Schedule 40 (I.D = 0.02664 m) commercial steel pipe with the surface roughness of 0.0018 in (0.045 mm). In the pipelines, there are two gate valves, one globe valve and three 90o long-radius elbows. The surface of water in the tank is 3 m above the surface of the pond. (The density of...
10. Problem 12.38 from the textbook (Statement: In a chemical processing plant a liquid is pumped from an open tank, through a 0.1-m-diameter vertical pipe, and into another open tank as shown in the figure (a). A valve is located in the pipe, and the minor loss coefficient for the valve as a function of the valve setting is shown in figure (b). The pump head capacity relationship is given by the equation ha =52.0-1.01x10?Q? with ha in meters when...
8-C) As shown below water is pumped and sprayed through a nozzle into the atmosphere at 20 m/s at an elevation 10 m above the reservoir surface. The mass flow rate is 40 kg/s and the volumetric flow rate is 0.040 m3/s. The large diameter inlet pipe total length is 50 m. The pump effidency is 65%. The longer smaller diameter pipe leaving the pump is 200 m in total length. The pipes have different diameters as indicated below. The...
2. An oil having density of 833 kg/m3 and a viscosity of 3.3 x 103 Pa.s is pumped from an open tank to a pressurized tank held at 345 k Pa gauge. The oil is pumped from an inlet at the side of the open tank through a line of commercial steel pipe having an inside diameter of 0.07792 m at the rate of 3.494 x 103 m'/s. The length of the straight pipe is 122 m and the pipe...
Two large tanks are open to the atmosphere at the top. Water s

(smooth) pipe. The relationship between Velocity in the pipe (ft/s)
and the pump head (ft) is given. There are no significant minor
losses. What is the flow rate, Q (cfs), in the pipe?

2 The industrial coolant with density of 900 kg/m' is to be pumped from large open processing tank to a large open storage tank. The pipe diameter throughout the length of the pipe is 0.153 m and the total length of the pipe between the pipe entrance and pipe exit is 200 m. The Minor loss coefficients for the entrance and exit effects are 1 and 1.5. The experimental values of minor loss coefficients due to the elbows are calculated...

SECTION A Petroleum distilate is pumped from one large diameter tank to another higher tank, via a pumping station in an oil refinery. The petroleum is pumped at a speed of 2 ms through a 150 m long pipeline of 100 mm internal diameter. The vertical distance pumped is 20 m. The sum of the entry, exit and other component losses is equivalent to 5 times the velocity head, Table Q1 Fluid density Friction factor f for the...
1 A pump delivers water from the lower reservoir to the upper reservoir at a rate of 60 L/s. Both the suction and discharge pipes are DN 150 schedule 40steel pipe. The length of the suction pipe leading to the pump is 3.5 m, and 7 m of discharge pipe extend from the pump outlet to the upper tank. There are three standard 900 elbows and a fully open gate valve. The depth of the fluid level inside the lower...
