Chapter 10, Problem 54P
Afire nozzle is supplied through 300 ft of 3-in.-diameter canvas hose with e = 0:001 ft. Water from a hydrant is supplied at 50 psig to a booster pump on board the pumper truck. At design operating conditions, the pressure at the nozzle inlet is 100 psig and the pressure drop along the hose is 33 psi per 100 ft of length. Calculate the design flow rate and the maximum nozzle exit speed. Select a pump appropriate for this application, determine its efficiency at this operating condition, and calculate the power required to drive the pump.

A well is going to be installed with a sucker rod pumping unit
a. For the well to be installed with a sucker rod pump calculate the effective plunger
stroke length for a well with a rod pump set at 3600 ft. The well has 3/4-in. sucker
rods and 2 7/8-in. tubing, and the specific gravity of the produced liquid is 0.90. The
pump speed is 12 spm, the plunger is 2 in. in diameter, and the polished rod stroke
length is 64 in.The well is pumped off, so the liquid level is at the pump depth.
b. For well in part a surface production rate the surface with a rod pump having a
volumetric efficiency of 0.8. The oil formation volume factor is 1.2
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?
