Q6. A single acting reciprocating pump has a plunger diameter of 10 cm and the stroke of 20 cm. The centre of the pump is 4'm above the water level in the sump and 14 m below the water level in the upper tank. The diameter and the length of suction pipe are 4 cm and 6 m respectively, while that of the delivery are 3 cm and 18 m. Find the maximum speed at which the pump may be run without separation, if the separation occurs at 7.85 N/cm² below the atmospheric pressure i.e. 10.3 m of water.

A and B are homologous pumps operating at the speed of 800rpm.Pump A has an impeller with diameter 60 cm and discharges 1.5m^3/s of water under a net head of 60m.Calculate the size of pump B, net head and the specific speed to discharge 0.9m^3/s.
The impeller of the centrifugal pump is 350 mm diameter, and the width of the blade passages at outlet is 18 mm. A pump, which runs at 16.6 rev/s, is mounted so that its centre is 2.4 m above the water level in the suction sump. It delivers water to a point 19 m above its centre; the friction loss in the suction pipe is 68 Q² meter and that in the delivery pipe is 650 Q² meter where Q in m3/s is the rate of flow. The blades themselves occupy 5% of the circumference and are backward facing at 35° to the tangent. At inlet, the flow is radial and the radial component of velocity remains unchanged through the impeller. Assuming that 50% of the velocity head of the water leaving the impeller is converted to pressure head in the volute, and that friction and shock losses in the pump, the velocity heads in the suction and delivery pipes are negligible, calculate the following: The flow rate, m3/s, of the pump. Manometric efficiency, in %, of the pump.

A centrifugal pump delivers 30 liters/s of water when the shaft power is 15 kW and the efficiency is 73%. (a) Estimate the head rise in meters and the pressure rise in kPa.
A fire starts in an apartment building in downtown Boston. When the firefighters arrive, they immediately get to work putting out the fire using a fire hose. The water for the fire hose is provided by a fire hydrant at ground level. Assume that the velocity of the liquid coming from the fire hydrant is 1.6 m/s, and that the pressure at the hose nozzle is atmospheric pressure (101000 Pa). a. The firefighters start with the ground floor, so there is no change in height between the fire hydrant and the hose nozzle. If the velocity of the water coming out of the nozzle is 12.8 m/s, find the pressure at the fire hydrant in units of Pa. b. After the ground floor fire is put out, another fire is spotted on another floor. A firefighter carrying the hose is lifted on a platform to the same height as the fire, which is 44.35 m above the ground. Assuming that the pressure found in part a) remains constant, what would be the new velocity of the water coming out of the nozzle at this new height?
C. A pump delivers 25 L/s of water with a head of 35 m and runs at a speed of 2950 rpm for 8 hours per day. The shaft power is 11.5 kW. The electric motor driving the pump has an efficiency of 84% and the cost of electricity is 15 cents per kWh. Evaluate the cost of electricity to run the pump in a day.
A centrifugal pump discharges 96L/s while running at 1380rpm against a net head of 14m. The manometric efficiency of the pump is 0.92. If the vane angle at the outlet is 35 deg, estimate the outer diameter of the impeller and its width at that diameter. Assume the velocity of flow.
Q6. A pump moves water horizontally at a rate of 0.02m /s. Upstream of the pump where the pipe diameter is 90mm, the pressure is 100kPa. Downstream of the pump where the pipe diameter is 30mm, the pressure is 350KP.. If the loss in energy across the pump due to fluid friction effects is 170N.m/kg, determine the hydraulic efficiency of the pump. (Pwater = 999 kg/m³)
The manometric head developed by a three-stage centrifugal pump runningat 450 rpm is 60 m. The width and diameter of each impeller at the outlet are60 mm and 750 mm, respectively, with outlet blade angle 45°. Determine itsmanometric efficiency, if discharge through the pump is 0.3 m^3/s.
