A water pump delivers 6 hp of shaft power when operating. The pressure differential between the outlet and the inlet of the pump is measured to be 1.2 psi when the flow rate is 10 ft3/s, and the velocity changes to 5 ft/s from 2 ft/s as the water passes through the pump. Determine the mechanical efficiency of this pump assuming the water density to be 62.4 lbm/ft3 (written in decimal form with 3 significant figures).
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...

The figure shows a schematic of a power plant that has two steam turbines. The water (the working fluid for the plant) leaves the high pressure turbine (HPT) as saturated vapour at 1000 [kPa]. Part of this flow is diverted to an insulated heat exchanger, which we hot airstream to create superheated steam that enters the low pressure turbine (LPT). The air mas flow rate is 19.5 k/s and the air temperature drops from 1100 to 6001 as it goes...
