In a pumping system handling water, the level in the suction tank is 3.2m below the pump shaft centerline; and the level in the discharge tank is 21m above the pump shaft centerline. The inlet piping is 7.6cm in diameter and together with its valves fittings is equivalent to 26m straight pipe. The discharge line, 6.35 cm in diameter, with its valves and fittings is equivalent to 72 m straight pipe. If the motor delivers 7.1 kW to the pump shaft, what is the pump efficiency for discharge rate of 12.63 Ips? Assume f = 0.023
The drinking water needs of an office are met by large water bottles. One end of a 0.35-in-diameter, 6-ft-long plastic hose is inserted into the bottle placed on a high stand, while the other end with an on/off valve is maintained 3 ft below the bottom of the bottle. If the water level in the bottle is 1 ft when it is full, determine how long it would take to fill an 8-oz glass (= 0.00835 ft3) (a) when the bottle is first opened and (b) when the bottle is almost empty. Take the total minor loss coefficient, including the on/off valve, to be 2.8 when it is fully open. Assume the water temperature to be the same as the room temperature of 70°F.

Electric power is to be generated by installing a hydraulic turbine—generator at a site 120 m below the free surface of a large water reservoir that can supply water steadily at a rate of 930 kg/s. If the mechanical power output of the turbine is 850 kW and the electric power generation is 770 kW, determine the turbine efficiency and the combined turbine— generator efficiency of this plant. Neglect losses in the pipes.
The water system in a suburban area consists of an old 200mm pipeline 760m long which conveys water from a pump to a reservoir whose water surface is 107m higher than the pump. Water is pumped at the rate of 0.07 m³/s. Determine the horsepower saved by replacing the old pipe with a new 250mm pipe. Assume the value of f as equal to 0.033 and 0.022, respectively, for the old and new pipes. Neglect losses of head except friction head.
A compressor is to be used to draw air from the outdoors where the conditions are 26.5 C and 100.04 kPa. The desired volume flowrate is 0.28 cubic meter per second.
