A "spa tub" is to be designed to replace bath tubs in reno-
vations. There are to be 6 outlet nozzles, each with a di-
ameter of 12 mm, and each should have an outlet velocity
of 12 m/s. What is the required flow rate from the single
pump that supplies all of these nozzles? If there is one
suction line leading to the pump, what is the minimum
diameter to limit the velocity at the inlet of the pump to
2.5 m/s?
2. Water from a reservoir is pump over a hill through a pipe 900mm in diameter and a
pressure of one kg/cm² is maintained at the pipe discharge where the pipe is 85m from the
pump centerline. The pumps have a positive suction head of 5m. Pumping rate or the pump at
1000 rpm is 1.5m³/sec. Friction losses is equivalent to 3m of head loss. What is the head that
should the pump cover for the system?
