1. If the pump removes 12 ft/min of water from a tank, how long will it take to empty the tank if it contains 20000 lb of seawater @ 25°C? 2. A standard schedule 40 steel pipe is to be selected to carry 10 gal/min of water with a maximum velocity of 1 ft/s. what size pipe should be used (inches)? 3. A venturi meter is a device that uses a constriction in a flow system to measure the velocity in flow. The figure below illustrates one type of design. If the main pipe section is a standard hydraulic copper tubing having an outside diameter of 80 mm and a wall thickness of 2.5 mm wall thickness, compute the flow rate when the velocity is 4 m/s. Then, for that volume flow rate, specify the required size of the throat section that would make the velocity there at least 15 m/s.

Plzzzz
Neglecting head loss, calculate the velocity of the water as it leaves thepipe. (Please round-off final answer to the nearest whole number) In Lake Geneva (Switzerland), there is a water jet (called the Jet d’Eau) that is discharged 130 m straight upward (measured from the surface of the lake). The exit of the discharge pipe is 20 cm in diameter.

Thank u, plz
A jet of water is flowing out of a square orifice in a large tank whose center is 600 mm belowthe water surface. If the orifice opening is 150 by 150 mm, what is the theoretical dischargein lps? Find the theoretical velocity in cm/s.
Water at 60 F from a lake through 500 ft if 4in ID cast iron pipe at a water turbine 250 ft below the surface of the lake. After flowing from the turbine, the water is discharged into the atmosphere through a horizontal 50 ft section of the same pipe. The turbine power output is 10hp when the water in the discharged pipe is flowing at 5 ft/s. What is the turbine efficiency defined as the actual power output of the turbine divided by the power output that would be withdrawn if there are no friction within the turbine. If the turbine were by passed, what would be the flow rate of water through the 500 ft of 4in pipe. a. Draw the diagram. b. Solve the problem. Provide complete solution.
