5. A raw water intake will have two identical pumps that will have a combined flow capacity when pumping together of 8 mgd. The static head from the water level in the intake to the high water level in the rapid mix basin is 200 feet. The dynamic losses from the intake to the rapid mix are equal to 40 feet. Using the equation HP = [Q (gpm) x TDH (ft)] ÷ [3960 x efficiency] and assuming a 75% efficient pump, determine the calculated motor size for each pump.

Two identical pumps in parallel configuration will be used to draw water from Reservoir A (water elevation 772') up to Reservoir B (water elevation -878'). The pipe will be 4,860 long, 2' diameter, with a Hazen-Williams coefficient of 100. Assume minor losses are negligible. The pump performance curve from thee manufacturer for one of these pumps is shown below. Determine the operation point for the two pumps in parallel by plotting below.

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...

Problem No. 1 (25 Points) Steady water flow at 400 gpm takes place between the two reservoirs shown below. Water is at 68 deg. F with kinematic viscosity of 1.08E-5 feet square/second. The piping system involves commercial steel, schedule 40, a sharp edged entrance, 5 standard 90 degree flanged elbows, fully open flanged globe valve and a sharp exit. Both reservoirs are open to the atmosphere. a) Determine the Head Gain required across the pump. b) Find the corresponding power...

Two parallel pumps are pumping water (p = 1000 kg/m) through very large diameter pipes of diameter D such that the friction losses in the piping and kinetic energy changes are negligible. The height between the elevation level d and the elevation level a is Had = 100 meters. The equation for the system resistance curve (SRC) is: Ap = pg Had The equation for each pump performance curve running at 1760 rpm is given by Ap = 981 +...

(100 points) Water at 25°C is pumped at a rate of 0.075m'/s from a reservoir 20m above a pump to a free discharge (this means discharged to atmosphere) 35m above the pump. The pressure on the intake side of the pump is 150kPa and the pressure on the discharge side of the pump is 450kPa. The pipe between the reservoir and the pump is 3 meters of 5in diameter cast iron. From the pump to the discharge the pipe is...

10. Write a one-page summary of the attached paper? INTRODUCTION Many problems can develop in activated sludge operation that adversely affect effluent quality with origins in the engineering, hydraulic and microbiological components of the process. The real "heart" of the activated sludge system is the development and maintenance of a mixed microbial culture (activated sludge) that treats wastewater and which can be managed. One definition of a wastewater treatment plant operator is a "bug farmer", one who controls the aeration...
