A power plant requires 940 L/min of water. The required net head is 5 m at this flow rate. An examination of pump performance curves indicates that two centrifugal pumps with different impeller diameters can deliver this flow rate. The pump with an impeller diameter of 203 mm has a pump efficiency of 73 percent and delivers 10 m of net head. The pump with an impeller diameter of 111 mm has a lower pump efficiency of 67 percent and delivers 5 m of net head. What is the ratio of the required brake horse power (bhp) of the pump with 203-mm-diameter impeller to that of the pump with 111-mm-diameter impeller? (a) 0.45 (b) 0.68 (c) 0.86 (d) 1.84 (e) 2.11
A 25Hp suction pump operating at 56.30% efficiency draws water from a suction line whose diameter is 205mm and discharges into air through a line whose diameter is 155mm . The velocity in the 155mm line is 4m/s . If the pressure at point A in the suction pipe is -32kpa (negative sign indicate the pressure is below the atmosphere), where A is 1.8m below B on the 155mm line, determine the maximum elevation above B to which water can be raised assuming a head loss of 2.9m due to friction.
A turbine is discharging 10 m/s under a head of 22 m at
200 rpm. The efficiency is 90%. Determine the performance
of turbine under a head of 44 m.
