The water level in a tank is 12 m above the ground. A hose is connected to the bottom of the tank, and the nozzle at the end of the hose is pointed straight up. The tank is at 13 m above the sea level, and the water surface is open to the atmosphere. In the line leading from the tank to the nozzle is a pump, which increases the water pressure by 50 kPa. Determine the maximum height above the sea level to which the water stream could rise.
The air velocity in the duct of a heating system is to be measured by a Pitot-static probe inserted into the duct parallel to flow. If the differential height between the water columns connected to the two outlets of the probe is 2.4 cm, determine the flow velocity at the center of the duct in m/s. R of air is 287 J/Kg-K.
The pump of a water distribution system is powered by a 15-kW electric motor whose efficiency is 90 percent. The water flow rate through the pump is 50 L/s. The diameters of the inlet and outlet pipes are the same, and the elevation difference across the pump is negligible. If the pressures 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 rotational speed is increased by a gearbox that has an efficiency of 0.93. In turn, the gearbox output shaft drives an electric generator with an efficiency of 0.95.
