"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."

Water at 20 Celcius degrees is pumped from a large reservoir through a pipe system which has a diameter of 79 mm and length of 13 m. The installation of pipe system is as shown in the figure below. Considering the mass flow of the water supplied to the pipe is 5,1 kg/s and the surface roughness of the pipe is equal to the 5 micron, please compute the total pressure loss of the system in Pascal.
Water from a reservoir is pumped over a hill through a pipe 3 ft. in diameter, and a pressure of 35 psi is maintained at the summit, where the pipe is 300 ft above the reservoir. The quantity pumped is 55 cfs, and by reason of friction in the pump pipe there is 10 ft of head loss between the reservoir and the summit. What amount of energy must be furnished the water by the pump in kilowatts?
