A pump can lift water at a discharge of 0.15 m³ /s to a head of 25 m. The critical cavitation number (oc) for the pump is found to be 0.144. The pump is to be installed at a location where the barometric pressure is 9.8 m of water and the vapour pressure of water is 0.30 of water. The intake pipe friction loss is 0.40 m. Using the minimum value of NPSH (Net Positive Suction Head), the maximum allowable elevation above the sump water surface at which the pump can be located is

A venturimeter having a throat diameter of 0.1 m is used to estimate the flow rate of a horizontal pipe having a diameter of 0.2 m. For an observed pressure difference of 2 m of water head and coefficient of discharge equal to unity, assuming that the energy losses are negligible, the flow rate (in m3/s) through the pipe is approximately equal to

Problem 1. Consider a drainage system that consists of horizontal drains located at an elevation ho above the base of an unconfined aquifer of thickness b 10 m (see Figure 1). The recharge rate is r = 100 mm/yr, and the hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer is K = 1 m/d. The design condition of the drainage system is to avoid ponding at the ground surface. You can ignore the vadose zone for this problem. 1. Obtain the relation between the half-distance between drains, L, and the elevation of the drains, ho. Plot this function over the range of feasible lengths. 2. The cost of each individual drain can be split as the cost of the material (fixed) and the cost of installation (which is assumed to be proportional to the depth b – ho). If the fixed cost is $500 and the installation cost is $100 per meter of aquifer length per meter of depth, can you build a drainage system for less than $1 per meter of aquifer length? If so, what depth ho and spacing 2L would you choose? K= 1 m/day 2L = r…
