A pump draws water from a pit through a vertical 30 cm diameter pipe which extends below the water surface. It discharge into a 15 cm diameter horizontal pipe at a rate of 57 liters per second. A pressure gage at a point in a 30 cm suction pipe registers -34 kPa while a point in the 15 cm discharge pipe which is 6 meters above the suction pipe registers a pressure 165 kPa. If the total head loss is 3.9 m, what is the horsepower delivered by the pump?

Two reservoirs are connected by two parallel pipes of equal length and of diameters 20 cm and 10 cm, as shown in the figure (not drawn to scale). When the difference in the water levels of the reservoirs is 5 m, the ratio of discharge in the larger diameter pipe to the discharge in the smaller diameter pipe is (Round off to two decimal places) (Consider only loss due to friction and neglect all other losses. Assume the friction factor to be the same for both the pipes) ! Reservoir 5 m 20 cm 10 cm ļ Reservoir
