The pump in figure delivers water from the lower to the upper reservoir at the 2.0 ft^3/s.The energy loss between the suction pipe inlet and the pump is 6 lb-ft/lb and that between the pump outlet and the upper reservoir is 12 lb-ft/lb. Both pipes are 6-in Schedule 40 steel pipe. Calculate (a) the pressure at the pump inlet, (b) the pressure at the pump outlet, (c) the total head on the pump, and (d) the power delivered by the pump to the water.

Question

The pump in figure delivers water from the lower to the upper reservoir at the 2.0 ft^3/s.The energy loss between the suction pipe inlet and the pump is 6 lb-ft/lb and that between the pump outlet and the upper reservoir is 12 lb-ft/lb. Both pipes are 6-in Schedule 40 steel pipe. Calculate (a) the pressure at the pump inlet, (b) the pressure at the pump outlet, (c) the total head on the pump, and (d) the power delivered by the pump to the water.

The pump in figure delivers water from
the lower to the upper reservoir at the
ft³
S
rate of 2.0 The energy loss between
the suction pipe inlet and the pump is 6
lb-ft/lb and that between the pump
outlet and the upper reservoir is 12 lb-
ft/lb. Both pipes are 6-in Schedule 40
steel pipe. Calculate (a) the pressure at
the pump inlet, (b) the pressure at the
pump outlet, (c) the total head on the
pump, and (d) the power delivered by
the pump to the water.
