"The capacity of a certain pump is 9780 gallons per hour with a capacity of 73.47%. A city uses this pump to extract water from a water supply from a body of water where in the intake is 11.3 ft below the surface of the body of water. A 3-in S40 is used to transfer the water through a pipe with a total length of 7839 ft having a total friction loss of 234 (ft-Ibf)/lbm. Given that the cost electrical power is 10.1 cents/kWh, what is the hourly pumping cost in cents per hour? Note that in this problem, the inlet to the pump is 24.5 ft above the surface of the body of water while the water level in the tank discharge is always 336.9 ft above the pump discharge."

On a trip to the beach (Patm 1 atm or 101.3 kPa), a car runs out of gasoline and it is necessary to siphon gasoline from a Good Samaritan's car. The siphon is a hose with a small diameter and to start the action it is necessary to insert one end into the tank full of gasoline, fill the hose with it through suction and then put the other end in a can that is placed under the tank level. The difference in pressure between point 1 (on the free surface of the gasoline in the tank) and point 2 (at the outlet of the tube) causes the liquid to flow from the highest elevation to the lowest. In this case, point 2 is located 0.75 m below point 1, and point 3 is 2 m above 1. The siphon diameter is 4 mm and friction losses in it must be ruled out. Determine: a) theminimum time to bring 4 L of gasoline from the tank to the can and b) the pressure at point 3. The density of the gasoline is 750 kg / m3.
In oasis Water Company to purify the water, it is flowing through a reducer in a horizontal pipe where the diameter is reduced from 35 cm to 25 cm. The pressure in the 35 cm pipe just upstream of the reducer is 3 150 kPa. The fluid has a vapor pressure of 50 kPa and a specific weight of 5 kN/m . Neglecting frictional effects, calculate flow rate of water through this pipe in lit/s. Draw diagram neatly.
A 5 kW electric motor driving a pump has an efficiency of 85%. Determine the losses encountered in the driver.
