Underground water is to be pumped by a 78 percent efficient S-KW submerged pump to a pool whose free surface is 30 m above the underground water level. The diameter of the pipe is 7 cm on the intake side and 5 cm on the discharge side. Determin (a) the maximum flow rate of water and (b) the pressure difference across the pump. Assume the elevation difference between th pump inlet and the outlet and the effect of the kinetic energy correction factors to be negligible. Pool 30 m

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.
