This is a fluid machine question. 1. A single stage centrifugal pump delivers 900 m^3/hr of sea water from a source where the water where the pressure is O.125 mpag. The pump discharges into surge tank rated at 300 psig, 3 m above the pump centerline. Loss of head due to friction in suction is 0.8 m and that in the discharge side is 3 m . Calculate the power required by the pump in kW. 2. An atmospheric tank at standard ambient conditions will serve as the source for a pump. It is calculated the length of the suction pipe is 200 m with friction factor of 0.02.
