Applied Fluid Mechanics

A fluid is a substance that is continuously deformed by the application of shear stress. The rate of deformation of a fluid depends on its viscosity. The fluid tries to flow when it interacts with some other system.

Cavitation is an undesirable phenomenon that occurs in pumping systems. About cavitation incentrifugal pumps, analyze the following statements:I. The cavitation in centrifugal pumps depends only on the flow rate of the flowing fluid.II. The required NPSH must always be higher than available in order to avoid cavitation.III. The available NPSH (d) is related to the suction head and suction head losses. This onemust be greater than the required NPSH(r) (or NPSH(a)), which is related to the equipment.IV.

Problem 2 A pump is needed in a water supply system. The water is being pumped out of a ground-level storage reservoir with water surface elevation of 149.27 ft and needs to pass over a hill 2 miles away, where the pipe centerline is at elevation 200.00 ft. The flowrate is 22 mgd, pipe diameter is 24 inches, Hazen-Williams friction factor is 110, and pressure at the crest of the hill must be at least 20 psi. (a) What head must the pump provide? (b) How much power will be added to the water? (c) What size motor should be purchased if the pump/motor combination has an efficiency of 80 percent?
An existing pump is used to pump water with the following data at BEP: D = 2.15 in, N = 1784 rpm, ρ = 998 kg/m3, Q = 18 gpm, H = 4.2 ft. A larger pump is to be designed based from the existing one to be used for pumping slurry (ρ = 1220 kg/m3) such that its best efficiency point occurs as close as possible to a volume flow rate of 48 gpm and at a net head of 15 ft. Calculate the new pump diameter in inches. Round off your final answer to 3 decimal places.
