Water in a partially filled large tank is to be supplied to the roof top, which is 8 m above the water level in the tank, through a 2.5-cm- internal-diameter pipe by maintaining a constant air pressure of 300 kPa (gage) in the tank. If the head loss in the piping is 2 m of water, determine the discharge rate of the supply of water to the roof top in liters per second. The discharge will be L/s.

A liquid of specific gravity 1.7 flows in a 60-millimeter horizontal pipe. The total energy at a certain puint in the flow is 75 joules per newton. The elevation of the pipe above a fixed datum is 2.5 meters. If the pressure at the specified point 70 KPa. Determine the following: a. velocity flow b. discharge c. power available at the specified point in watts.
A flocculator is 16 ft (4.88 m) deep, 40 ft (12.2 m) wide, and 80 ft (24.4 m) long. The flow of the water plant is 13 mgd (20 cfs, 0.566 m³/s). Rotating paddles are supported parallel to four horizontal shafts. The rotating speed is 2 rpm. The centre line of the paddles is 5.5 ft (1.68 m) from the shaft (mid-depth of the basin). Each shaft equipped with six paddles. Each paddle blade is 10 in (25 cm) wide and 38 ft (11.6m) long. Assume the mean velocity of the water is 28 percent of the velocity of the paddles and their drag coefficient is 1.9. Estimate: (a) the difference in velocity between the paddles and water (b) the useful power input (c) the energy consumption per million gallons (Mgal) (d) the detention time (e) the value of G and Gr at 60 °F (f) the loading rate of the flocculator

3- The pump of waste water of concentration (1.5 mg/liter) treatment plant system is powered by a (15 kw) electric motor whose efficiency is (90%). The water flow rate of the pump is (50 L/sec).The diameter of the inlet and outlet pipes are the same, and the elevation difference across the pump is negligible. If the pressure at the inlet and outlet of the pump are measured to be (100 Kpa) and (300 kpa) absolute, respectively. Determine the mechanical efficiency of the pump.
The system presented on Figure 1 pumps water from the left reservoir to ensure a water in the elevated basin stays level. Knowing that the offset from water-surface to water-surface 7.5m and the water temperature is 5oC, you must: a) Determine the out-flow from the basin's orifice; b) Determine the efficiency of the pump (n) feeding the basin if the pump's absorbed power is 2550W; Consider that hs=0 c) Determine how long it will take for the basin to fully empty if the pump ceases to function.
