Water at 20-degrees centigrade enters a 10-cm-diameter pipe at a flow rate of 0.1m3/s from a reservoir on the side of a hill. The pipe is made of plastic and considered smooth. The pipe which runs for 200 meters down the hill also contains eight 90-degree flanged smooth bends and a swing check valve before emptying into another reservoir. Your client wants a flow rate of 0.1m3/s into the second reservoir and wants to know how high up the second reservoir needs to be to maintain this flow rate. What is the minimum height needed for the hight reservoir in meters to three significant digits?

You need to pump water at 20 C from an open reservoir at flow rate of 1.4 x 10^-3 m3/s through a pipe with an inside diameter of 0.03m, using a centrifugal pump having an (NPSH)aq =2.5 m and the equivalent length on the suction side is 3m. There are several minor losses: four standar 90 flanged elbows, and fully open flanged globe valve, fully open flanged gate valve, and the Entrance. What is the the maximum distance above the...
(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 1. 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 Sin diameter cast iron. From the pump to the discharge the pipe...
30 points You need to pump water at 20 °c from an open reservoir at flow rate of 14 x 10-3 m?s through a pipe with an inside diameter of 0.03 m, using a centrifugal pump having an (NPSH)req = 2.5 m and the equivalent length on the suction side is 3 m. There are several minor losses: four standard 900 flanged elbows, and fully open flanged globe valve, fully open flanged gate valve, and the entrance. What is the...
-3 A tank full of liquid (p-1000 kg/m ,H-10 kg/(m s)) discharges to the atmosphere (K-0) through a smooth pipe of diameter D= 5 cm and variable length L whose outlet section is at a height h=10 m below the surface of the deposit. Between the deposit and the pipe a globe valve is placed in order to control the flow rate and maintain it at a constant value Q-0.01 m /s. Calculate the maximum pipe length beyond which it...

Problem 4 (50 points) water is discharged from a reservoir at a rate of 18.103 m2/s using two horizontal cast iron pipes nected in series and a pump between them. The first pipe is 20 m long and has a 6-cm diameter, while the second pipe is 35 m long and has a 4-cm diameter. The water level in the reservoir is 30 m above the centerline of the pipe. The pipe entrance is sharp-edged. Losses associated with the connection...
Problem 3: Flow Rate Water (20 degrees C) drains from a pressurized tank through a pipe system as shown in the figure. The head of the turbine is equal to 116 m. If entrance effects are negligible, determine the flow rate. (assume f-0.038 to start iterations) 50 kPa (I e 200 m, D 0.1 m 0.0008 m Valve (KL 5.0) 200 m Turbine Free Jet 90° elbows (KL 1.0)

Water is pumped from an open reservoir to a large closed tank at a fixed pressure of 2 bar, through a vertical distance of 50 meters using a 5 kW pump. Determine the maximum flow rate of the water (in kg/s). State any assumptions you make. For this flow rate, determine the speed of the water inside a 10 cm diameter pipe. Determine also the pressure difference between the inlet...
Water is flowing through a 10-cm-diameter water pipe at a rate of 0.1 m/s. Then, a diffuser with an outlet diameter of 20 cm is bolted to the pipe in order to slow down water as it exits the diffuser to atmospheric pressure, as shown in the given figure. Disregarding frictional effects, determine the force exerted on the bolts due to the water flow. Take the density of water to be 1000 kg/m3 -t- d 10 cmm D = 20...
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...
