A single -acting reciprocal pump lifts a liquid of specific weight 7.50 kN/m³ from a pressurised storeage reservoir to an overhead container. The free surface in the supply reservoir is at an elevation of 5.0 m above the centre of the pump. The ambient pressure over the liquid surface in the supply resevoir is 20 kN/m². The other relevant data relating to the pump are as follows: Length of suction pipe = 5.0 m Crank Speed= 60 rpm Diameter of suction pipe = 10 cm Length of Stroke = 40 cm Diameter of cylinder = 20 cm Atmospheric presure = 100 kN/m²(abs) Calculate the pressure in the cylinder and force on the piston at the beginning of the suction stroke.

Hydrodynamics pumps (WRITTEN COMPLETE SOLUTION AND FIGURES IF NEEDED) 1. A centrifugal pump installation draws water from an open reservoir having a water elevation of 5 m above the pump centerline and delivers the water to another open reservoir 80 m above pump centerline. The rate of discharge is 600 li/min. The suction pipe has a diameter of 200 mm while that of the discharge pipe diameter is 150 mm. The friction loss at the suction is estimated to be 4 times the velocity head at the 200 mm suction pipe. At the discharge, the friction loss is estimated to be 21 times the velocity head at the 150 mm discharge pipe. If the overall mechanical efficiency is 77%, estimate the brake power input to thepump. a. brake power Answer : ____________________ kW

An engineer is hired to design a swimming pool 15 m long by 6 m wide by 2 m deep. For water supply, he decides to lay 600 m of 5 cm pipe with f = 0.020 from a nearby main to the pool. The pipe will discharge freely into the pool during the entire filling process. The average pressure at the water main is 550 kPa and the difference in elevation between the two ends of the pipe is 10 m, with the discharge end higher than the intake end. Assuming that 10 % of the loss in the pipeline are due to transitions, fittings, and valves, how long will it take to fill the swimming pool?
two vertical tanks, one with circular section 3.0m in diameter, the other square section 1.33 x 1.33m are connected by a short tube ( area is 0.725 sq. cm) near bottom.initially, the head of oil in the first tank is 4.0m, while in the second tank the head is 60m. After a quick opening of the tube valves, find the time for the oil surfaces to equalize. Assume the tube properties to be similar to that orifice, with c= 0.78
