Design of a Pump System As a fresh engineer, you and one of your colleague are assigned to analyze a pump system The system needs to pump water from a reservoir at elevation of 10 ft to another reservoir at elevation of 250 ft having flow rate 0.3 ft/s and through 650 ft length of pipe. Make necessary assumptions about the pipe diameter, roughness, losses, and analyze the problem. For minor losses, assume sharp entrance, sharp exit, one open globe valve, two gate valves, three regular 90° elbows, etc. Compute the pump horsepower needed. Discuss the effect of friction on system performance and operation cost. Draw sketch of your system and show calculations.

A smooth concrete pipe with a 1.5 ft diameter carries carbon tetrachloride at 20 C from a tank to a facility 1 mile away, where it discharges into the air. The pipe begins in the tank 3 feet below the surface and descends on a 1:100 (vertical: horizontal) slope. Determine the flow rate, assuming minor losses are negligible.

Flow in closed conduit
2.10. Water leaves a treatment plant in a 500-mm diameter ductile-iron pipeline at a pressure of 600 kPa and at a flow rate of 0.50 m³/s. If the elevation of the pipeline at the treatment plant is 120 m, estimate the pressure in the pipeline 1 km downstream where the elevation is 100 m. Assess whether the pressure in the pipeline would be sufficient to serve the top floor of a 10-story building (approximately 30 m high).

While planning a future expansion, a water distribution pipe will be replaced as shown in Figure 2. The current plan is for the new configuration to have the same head-loss between points A and B once the new pipes are laid. Considering that the physical characteristics of these new pipes will be identical to the previously laid pipe (L, D, CHW), (A) what will the new operational flow be? After years of wear and tear while operating above the required flow, the pipes have prematurely degraded. The Hazen-Williams coefficients have dropped to: CHW₁= 130, CHW2= 135, CHW3= 125. You must now (B) quantify the head-loss between points A and B for an operational flow of 200 l/s.
