An adiabatic pump is used to feed water to a municipal storage tower. Water at 70° F is drawn from a nearby river at a rate of 33 Ibm/s and pumped to an elevation of 70 ft. The water tower is vented, so that the pressure within the tower remains at atmospheric pressure. Neglecting any inefficiencies, what size of pump (in hp) will be needed? an nefficincies, hat sze shm hp WA T ERI

    A farmer is to pump water at 70'F from a river to a water storage tank nearby using a 125-ft-long, 5-in-diameter plastic pipe with three flanged 90 smooth bends. The water velocity near the river surface is 6 ft/s, and the pipe inlet is placed in the river normal to the flow direction of water to take advantage of the dynamic pressure. The elevation difference between the river and the free surface of the tank is 12 ft. For a...
