A fire pump delivers water through 15 cm main pipe to a hydrant to which is connected an 8 cm hose, terminating in a nozzle 2 cm in diameter. The nozzle, trained vertically up, is 1.60 m above the hydrant and 12 m above the pump. The head losses are: pump to hydrant 12 J/N; Nozzle: 6 % velocity head in the nozzle. If the gage pressure at the pump is 550 kPa to what height can the jet be thrown? Neglect air friction.

A flocculator is 16 ft (4.88 m) deep, 40 ft (12.2 m) wide, and 80 ft (24.4 m) long. The flow of the water plant is 13 mgd (20 cfs, 0.566 m³/s). Rotating paddles are supported parallel to four horizontal shafts. The rotating speed is 2 rpm. The centre line of the paddles is 5.5 ft (1.68 m) from the shaft (mid-depth of the basin). Each shaft equipped with six paddles. Each paddle blade is 10 in (25 cm) wide and 38 ft (11.6m) long. Assume the mean velocity of the water is 28 percent of the velocity of the paddles and their drag coefficient is 1.9. Estimate: (a) the difference in velocity between the paddles and water (b) the useful power input (c) the energy consumption per million gallons (Mgal) (d) the detention time (e) the value of G and Gr at 60 °F (f) the loading rate of the flocculator

The pumping system below is used in a manufacturing process involving glycerin. Find the minimum pump head, E (P), required to prevent contamination of the piping system from reservoir B. the temperature of the glycerin is 60°F. Assume no losses in pipe 2 which connects reservoir B and node A. The check valve only allows flow from reservoir B to node A.
A 30 cm pipe is connected by a reducer to a 10 cm pipe. points 1 and 2 are along the same elevation. the pressure at 1 is 200 Kpa. the flow is 30 litres/s and the energy lost between 1 and 2 is equivalent to 20 Kpa. Compute the pressure at 2 if the liquid flowing is water.

A submersible, multi-stage centrifugal deep well pump 260 gpm capacity is installed in a well 27 feet below the static water level. Drawndown when pumping at rated capacity is 10 feet. The pump delivers the water into a 25,000 gallons capacity overhead storage tank. Total discharge head developed by pump, including friction in piping is 243 feet. Calculate the diameter of the impeller of this pump in inches if each impeller diameter developed at a head of 38 ft. .
