The diagram below shows a pumping system to pump water to an elevated tank. The next page shows the performance curve of a specific type of centrifugal pump. The loss factors at the inlet and outlet are 0.5 and 1.5 respectively while the loss factor associated with the bend is 1.5. The diameter of the pipe is 0.050 m while the total pipe length is 400 m. In order to simplify the calculation you can assume that the friction factor is f= 0.036. Determine the duty point of this pumping system and thus determine the flow rate of the pump for an impeller diameter of 140 mm? Also determine the shaft power of the pump and give an estimate of the pumps efficiency at the duty point. Given that the pump is located 1.80 m above the water surface (1), and the pipe length from inlet to pump is 6.0 m, determine the NPSHA at the pump and state whether cavitation is likely to occur.

1. In calibrating a 10-mL pipet, a measured volume of water was transferred to a tared flask and weighed, yielding a mass of 9.9814 g. (a) Calculate, with and without correcting for buoyancy, the volume of water delivered by the pipet. Assume that the density of water is 0.99707 g/cm3 and that the density of the weights is 8.40 g/cm3. (b) What are the absolute and relative errors introduced by failing to account for the effect of buoyancy? Is this a significant source of determinate error for the calibration of a pipet? Explain. 2. Repeat the questions in problem 1 for the case when a mass of 0.2500 g is measured for a solid that has a density of 2.50 g/cm3. 3. Is the failure to correct for buoyancy a constant or proportional source of determinate error?
