Q.54 A pump with an efficiency of 80% is used to draw groundwater from a well for irrigating a flat field of area 108 hectares. The base period and delta for paddy crop on this field are 120 days and 144 cm, respectively. Water application efficiency in the field is 80%. The lowest level of water in the well is 10 m below the ground. The minimum required -(round off to two decimal places) horse power (h.p.) of the pump is (Consider 1 h.p. = 746 W; unit weight of water 9810 N/m3)

QI The machine C shown in Fig. (3) Is it turbine or pump? What is the water power (kilowatt) associated with this machine? If the flow discharge is 200 lps, PA = 206 kN/m, Pg = 690 kN/m, elevation of A = 67 m and elevation of B = 30 m. Neglect losses. D-300 mm D-200 mm Fig (3)
8. Energy Equation Water at the Lake William Dam enters a hydraulic turbine through a 30 cm diameter pipe at a rate of 0.6 m³/s and exits through a 25-cm diameter pipe. For the system, elevation effects are negligible and the pressure drop across the turbine is measured to be 148 kPa. For a combined turbine-generator efficiency of 83 percent, calculate (a) hurbine and (b) Wubrine- You look in the FE handbook and see: W turbine = 7/turbine-gen”ightutine, e turbine-genhtubine, e 30 cm diameter 25 cm diameter Turbine Generator
Question- A water pump is installed on a well to lift water and to irrigate wheat crop, sown over 4 hectares of land. The duty for wheat is 1728 hectares / cumecs on the field and pump efficiency is 46%. If the lowest water level is 8 metres below the highest portion of the field and assuming negligible field channel losses, find the minimum required input (HP) of the pump.
Ex 12-6: agricultural land subjected to heavy rainfall of 10 days duration which caused groundwater recharge of 3mm/day. This water was drained by perforated pipes 20cm diameter laid at 2m depth below soil surface. If the depth of impervious layer 8m .find the spacing of drains to maintain the permissible groundwater table 1.5 m below soil surface. The hydraulic conductivity 0.5 m/day. Use any available equations (Hooghoudt Kirkham and Dagan)
A pump can lift water at a discharge of 0.15 m³/s to a head of 25 m. The critical cavitation number (o) for the pump is found to be 0.144. The pump is to be installed at a location where the barometric pressure is 9.8 m of water and the vapour pressure of water is 0.30 m of water. The intake pipe friction loss is 0.40 m. Using the minimum value of NPSH (Net Positive Suction Head), the maximum allowable elevation above the sump water surface at which the pump can be located is
There is a reservoir covering a 500-hectare area that has a constant draft of water pumped from it. The reservoir has a constant inflow from an upstream watershed, where the annual rainfall is 550 mm and the annual runoff is 312 mm. Over a 30-day period, the reservoir depth drops 9.5 m. During this time, there was precipitation over the reservoir of 87 mm and the total evaporation was 73 mm. What is the daily draft of water from the reservoir (in hectare-meters)?
