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...

A centrifugal pump is placed above a reservoir as shown below. If the NPSHR is 17 ft and the flow rate is 32 ft3/s, determine the maximum height, 21, that the pump can be located above the reservoir surface without cavitation. Assume that the total head loss between the tank and pump inlet is 10 ft. The diameter of the pipe on the suction side of the pump is 12 inches. The reservoir surface is at atmospheric pressure, Patm =...

A pump is used to pump water at 60oF from a reservoir whose surface is 4.0 ft above the centerline of the pump inlet. The piping system from the reservoir to the pump consists of 10.5 ft of cast iron pipe with a diameter of 4.0 in and an average roughness (ε) of 0.02 inches. There are several minor losses: a sharp edged inlet (K – 0.5), three flanged smooth 90o regular elbows (K – 0.3 each), and a fully open flanged globe...

A centrifugal pump is used to pump water at 77ºF from a reservoir whose surface is 20 ft above the centerline of the pump inlet. The Pipe System consists of 67.5 ft of PVC pipe with a 1.2 in ID and negligible average internal roughness height. The length of the pipe from the bottom of the lower tank to the pump inlet is 12 ft. There are several minor losses in the pipe: an acute edge entry (KL = 0.5),...

A pump delivers water at 200C between a reservoir and a water tank that is 75[ft] higher than the reservoir. The suction side of the system consists of a cast iron pipe of 1[ft]diameter with a strainer (Ks= 2.5) and four 90-degree bends at R/D= 5. The discharge side of the system includes a 1000[ft] long commercial steel pipe with 12” diameter followed by a gate valve. The NPSH required for the pump is 10[ft], and the design discharge is...
