A pump steadily draws water from a pond at a volumetric flow rate of 180 gal/min through a pipe having a 5 in. diameter inlet. The water is delivered through a hose terminated by a converging nozzle. The nozzle exit has a diameter of 2.6 in. and is located 35 ft above the pipe inlet. Water enters at 58°F, 14.7 psi and exits with no significant change in temperature or pressure. The magnitude of the rate of heat transfer from the pump to the surroundings is 5% of the power input. The acceleration of gravity is 32.2 ft/s2. Determine the velocity of the water at the exit in ft/s.

Q4. Water from a reservoir is conveyed via a pipeline of constant diameter and 1000m length to a turbine situated 90m below the reservoir surface level. The velocity of flow through the pipeline is 5m/s and the energy loss due to friction in the pipeline is 200J/kg. The water leaves the turbine at atmospheric pressure (100 kN/m2) and with negligible velocity. Assuming an efficiency of 85% for the turbine, determine: a). Pipeline diameter b). Pressure at entry to turbine c). Turbine power output. Take f = 0.025
PROBLEM 02: Water entering a pump through an 200mm diameter pipe at 27.6 kPa has a flow rate of 0.1 m^3/s. It leaves the pump through a 100mm diameter pipe at 103.4 kPa. Assuming that the suction and discharge sides of the pump are at the same elevation, find the horsepower delivered to the water by the pump (746 watts = 1 HP). Illustrate the problem and show your complete solution.
Albert bought a portable device to pump his truck tyres. On the manual, he found out that the device is a single stage, single-acting air compressor. Air delivery for this device is 30 bar at a speed of 1500 rev/min. The atmospheric condition of his location is 87 kPa and 20 ˚C, with a FAD of 0.22 m2 /min. The clearance volume is 4% of the swept volume and the stoke/bore ratio is 1.3/1.Take “n” as 1.3, cp = 1.005 kJ/kg K, cv = 0.718 kJ/kg K Based on pictures below 1 which formula number will be used to evaluate the mass flow rate of air? 2 which formula number will be used to evaluate the delivery volume?

= (a) A centrifugal pump, with salt water as the working fluid, has the impeller blades rotating at 750 rpm. The fluid enters the blades in the radial direction, i.e. at an angle of α₁ = 0°, and exits the blades at an angle of 35° from the radial direction. i.e. α₂ = 35⁰. The inlet radius and blade width are r₁ 12.0 cm and b₁ = 18.0 cm, respectively. The outlet radius and blade width are 1₂ = 24.0 cm and b₂ = 16.2 cm, respectively. Assuming 100 percent efficiency, and if the volumetric flow-rate through the pump is 0.573 m³/s, compute the net head produced by the centrifugal pump. Furthermore, calculate the required brake horsepower in Watts. Take the density of salt water to be p 998.0 kg/m³. =

The capacity of a certain pump is 5251 gallons per hour with a capacity of 68.54%. A city uses this pump to extract water from a water supply from a body of water where in the intake is 10.2 ft below the surface of the body of water. A 3-in S40 is used to transfer the water through a pipe with a total length of 8848 ft having a total friction loss of 222.7 (ft-lbf)/lbm. Given that the cost electrical power is 14.7 cents/kWh, what is the hourly pumping cost in cents per hour? Note that in this problem, the inlet to the pump is 35.7 ft above the surface of the body of water while the water level in the tank discharge is always 380 ft above the pump discharge Answer options: 700 557 1175 685 226
