Chapter 14, Problem 43P

A water pump is used to pump water from one large reservoir to another large reservoir that is at a higher elevation. The free surfaces of both reservoirs are exposed to atmospheric pressure, as sketched in Fig. P 14-39. The dimensions and minor loss coefficients are provided in the figure. The pump' s performance is approximated by the expression $H_{available}=H_0-a{\stackrel{\dot{}}{V}}^2$ , where shutoff head $H_0=24.4m$ of water column, coefficient $a=0.0678m/{\left(Lpm\right)}^2$ available pump head $H_{available}$ is in units of meters of water column, and capacity is in units of liters per minute (Lpm). Estimate the capacity delivered by the pump. .

Calculation:

Substitute $0.5$for $K_1$, $17.5$for $K_2$, $5\times 0.92$for $K_3$, $1.05$for $K_4$in Equation (II).

  $\begin{array}{c}K=0.5+17.5+\left(5\times 0.92\right)+1.05\\ =0.5+17.5+4.6+1.05\\ =23.65\end{array}$

Substitute $23.65$for $K$, $176.5\text{m}$for $L$, $2.03\text{cm}$for $D$and $9.81\text{m}/{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}$for $g$in Equation (III).

  $\begin{array}{c}{h}_{\text{L}}=\left(\frac{f\times 176.5\text{m}}{2.03\text{cm}}+23.65\right)\frac{V^2}{2\times 9.81\text{m}/{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}\\ =\left(\frac{f\times 176.5\text{m}}{2.03\text{cm}\times \frac{1\text{m}}{100\text{cm}}}+23.65\right)\frac{V^2}{2\times 9.81\text{m}/{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}\\ =\left(\frac{f\times 176.5\text{m}}{0.0203\text{m}}+23.65\right)\frac{V^2}{2\times 9.81\text{m}/{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}\\ =\left(8694.58f+23.65\right)\frac{V^2}{19.62\text{m}/{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}\end{array}$

Substitute $0$for $P_1$, $0$for $P_2$, $0$for $V_1$, $0$for $V_2$, $9.81\text{m}/{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}$for $g$, $7.85\text{m}$for $z_2-z_1$, $\left(8694.58f+23.65\right)\frac{V^2}{19.62}$for $h_{\text{L}}$in Equation (I).

  $\begin{array}{c}{H}_{\text{required}}=\frac{0-0}{\rho g}+\frac{0-0}{2g}+\left(7.85\text{m}\right)+\left(8694.58f+23.65\right)\frac{V^2}{19.62\text{m}/{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}\\ =\left(7.85\text{m}\right)+\left(8694.58f+23.65\right)\frac{V^2}{19.62\text{m}/{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}\end{array}$

Substitute $2.03\text{cm}$for $D$in Equation (VII).

  $\begin{array}{c}\dot{V}=\frac{\pi }{4}{\left(2.03\text{cm}\right)}^{2}V\\ =\frac{\pi }{4}{\left(2.03\text{cm}\times \frac{1\text{m}}{100\text{cm}}\right)}^{2}V\\ =\frac{\pi }{4}{\left(0.0203\text{m}\right)}^{2}V\\ =3.2365\times {10}^{-4}{\text{m}}^2\times V\end{array}$

Refer Table-A-3 "Properties of saturated water" at $20°\text{C}$to obtain density of water as $998\text{kg}/{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}$and dynamic viscosity as $1.002\times {10}^{-3}\text{kg}/\text{m}\cdot \text{s}$

Substitute $3.2365\times {10}^{-4}{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}\times V$for $\dot{V}$, $24.4\text{m}$for $H_0$, $0.0678\text{m}/{\text{Lpm}}^{\text{2}}$for $a$and $\left(7.85\text{m}\right)+\left(8694.58f+23.65\right)\frac{V^2}{19.62}$for $H_{\text{available}}$in Equation (IV).

  $f=\frac{0.03734{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}/{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}{V^2}-0.06041$

Substitute $998\text{kg}/{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}$for $\rho$, $2.03\text{cm}$for $D$and $1.002\times {10}^{-3}\text{kg}/\text{m}\cdot \text{s}$for $\mu$in Equation (V).

  $\begin{array}{c}\mathrm{Re}=\frac{998\text{kg}/{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}\times 2.03\text{cm}\times V}{1.002\times {10}^{-3}\text{kg}/\text{m}\cdot \text{s}}\\ =\frac{998\text{kg}/{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}\times 2.03\text{cm}\times \frac{1\text{m}}{100\text{cm}}\times V}{1.002\times {10}^{-3}\text{kg}/\text{m}\cdot \text{s}}\\ =20218.96\text{s}/\text{m}\times V\end{array}$

Substitute $0.25\text{mm}$for $\epsilon$, $2.03\text{cm}$for $D$, $20218.96\text{s}/\text{m}\times V$for $\mathrm{Re}$and $\frac{0.03734{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}/{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}{V^2}-0.06041$for $f$in Equation (VI).

  $\begin{array}{l}\left[\begin{array}{l}\frac{1}{\sqrt{\frac{0.03734{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}/{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}{V^2}-0.06041}}\\ =-2.0\log \left(\begin{array}{l}\frac{0.25\text{mm}/2.03\text{cm}}{3.7}\\ +\frac{2.51}{20218.96\text{s}/\text{m}\times V\sqrt{\frac{0.03734{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}/{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}{V^2}-0.06041}}\end{array}\right)\end{array}\right]\\ \left[\begin{array}{l}\frac{1}{\sqrt{\frac{0.03734{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}/{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}{V^2}-0.06041}}\\ =-2.0\log \left(\begin{array}{l}\frac{0.25\text{mm}/2.03\text{cm}\times \frac{10\text{mm}}{1\text{cm}}}{3.7}\\ +\frac{2.51}{20218.96\text{s}/\text{m}\times V\sqrt{\frac{0.03734{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}/{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}{V^2}-0.06041}}\end{array}\right)\end{array}\right]\\ \left[\begin{array}{l}\frac{1}{\sqrt{\frac{0.03734{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}/{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}{V^2}-0.06041}}\\ =-2.0\log \left(\begin{array}{l}0.00332432\\ +\frac{2.51}{20218.96\text{s}/\text{m}\times V\sqrt{\frac{0.03734{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}/{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}{V^2}-0.06041}}\end{array}\right)\end{array}\right]\end{array}$  ....(VIII)

Here, apply hit and trial method to calculate the velocity of flow.

Trial-(1)

Substitute $1\text{m}/\text{s}$for $V$in Equation (VIII).

  $\begin{array}{l}\left[\begin{array}{l}\frac{1}{\sqrt{\frac{0.03734{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}/{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}{{\left(1\text{m}/\text{s}\right)}^2}-0.06041}}\\ =-2.0\log \left(\begin{array}{l}0.00332432\\ +\frac{2.51}{20218.96\text{s}/\text{m}\times 1\text{m}/\text{s}\sqrt{\frac{0.03734{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}/{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}{{\left(1\text{m}/\text{s}\right)}^2}-0.06041}}\end{array}\right)\end{array}\right]\\ \frac{1}{\sqrt{-0.02307}}=-2.0\log \left(\begin{array}{l}0.00332432\\ +\frac{2.51}{20218.96\sqrt{-0.020307}}\end{array}\right)\end{array}$

Since the value on both sides are not equal, so assumption of $V=1\text{m}/\text{s}$is not correct.

Trial-(2)

Substitute $0.596126\text{m}/\text{s}$for $V$in Equation (VIII).

  $\begin{array}{l}\left[\begin{array}{l}\frac{1}{\sqrt{\frac{0.03734{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}/{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}{{\left(0.596126\text{m}/\text{s}\right)}^2}-0.06041}}\\ =-2.0\log \left(\begin{array}{l}0.00332432\\ +\frac{2.51}{20218.96\text{s}/\text{m}\times 0.596126\text{m}/\text{s}\sqrt{\frac{0.03734{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}/{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}{0.596126\text{m}/\text{s}}-0.06041}}\end{array}\right)\end{array}\right]\\ \frac{1}{\sqrt{0.105074}}=-2.0\log \left(\begin{array}{l}0.00332432\\ +\frac{2.51}{20218.96\sqrt{0.105074}}\end{array}\right)\\ 3.0849=3.084969\end{array}$

Here, the values on both sides are equal, so assumption is correct and velocity of flow is $0.596126\text{m}/\text{s}$

Substitute $0.596126\text{m}/\text{s}$for $V$in Equation (VII).

  $\begin{array}{c}\dot{V}=3.2365\times {10}^{-4}{\text{m}}^2\times 0.596126\text{m}/\text{s}\\ =1.92939\times {10}^{-4}{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}/\text{s}\times \frac{60000\text{Lpm}}{1{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}/\text{s}}\\ =11.576\text{Lpm}\end{array}$

Conclusion:

The volume capacity delivered by the pump is $11.576\text{Lpm}$.
