A centrifugal pump discharging 10 lps against 25 m of head and operating with an efficiency of 60% requires 4.1 kW at 1000 rpm. What is the theoretical discharge if the speed is increased to 1500 rpm assuming the efficiency remains constant? What is the theoretical head and kW at 1500 rpm?
You wish to use a pump to supply water to a simple irrigation system. Thepump is required to feed water into a galvanised steel pipe of length 1km.The available pump is capable of delivering a head of 10m. You would like toachieve a flow rate of 10 litres per second. Estimate the minimum practicalpipe diameter that you would need to use. State and justify any assumptionsor simplifications that you make in your design calculations

9- If the average daily water consumption of a city is 32000 m/day, the peak hourly demand will be: A- 1000 m/hr B- 1500 m/hr C- 2700 m/hr D- 3600 m³/hr
The Figure below gives an example of a network to pump water from a lower reservoir to an upper one. Widely used in buildings, industries and others. It is estimated that a building with 55 apartments of 3 bedrooms each. Consider 2 people. per room. The supply water is pumped from the lower reservoir to the upper one by means of lifting sets. Dimension the discharge and suction line, and the power of the motor-pump set; assuming a probable daily consumption of 2001 per inhabitant, Also consider that the day of greatest consumption is 25% more than normal consumption. The pumps will be capable of repressing the volume consumed daily, in just 6 hours of operation. Assume that the pipe diameter is D=1.3x/* Vē, where X = * and t is the number of hours the pump has been running. 2,0 m curve retention valve record 2,0 m bomb curve h=0 foot valve 2,5 m w o'os
A new water supply main is being planned for a new city of 2 million population and average per capita water demand of 300 litres per day. The water source is located 50 km from the newly planned city at similar elevation as the city. Water is proposed to be conveyed using two number of 100 cm diameter cast iron pipeline in parallel. Assume water density of 1,000 kg/m3 and viscosity of 1.0 x 10-3 kg/m-s. Determine the following: a. The total head loss (in m) during this conveyance of water in each pipeline. Use Colebrook equation to calculate frictional factor. b. The total electrical power (in MW for both pipeline) required to pump this water over 50 km distance assuming combined pump-motor efficiency of 70%. c. If the maximum pressure allowed in the pipeline is 1 MPa, how many pump stations (minimum numbers) are required along the 50 km distance pipeline instead of just one large pump. d. If the two pipes are replaced by just one pipe, what should be the minimum diameter of the pipe…

A dam supplies to a suburban area using a 0.21m diameter pipeline that is 800m long. For the water to reach the intended reservoir, a pump is needed to raise the flow to a point 125m above the pump. If the flow within the pipe is 0.11 m3/s, determine the savings in horsepower if the engineers decided to replace the old pipe (f = 0.034 with a new 0.29m diameter pipe with f = 0.024.
