1. The water in an 8-m-diameter, 3-m-high above-ground swimming pool is to be emptied by
unplugging a 3-cm-diameter, 25-m-long horizontal pipe attached to the bottom of the pool.
Determine the maximum discharge rate of water through the pipe.
In large buildings, hot water in a water tank is circulated through a loop so that the user doesn't have to wait for all the water in long piping to drain before
hot water starts coming out. A certain recirculating loop involves 40-m-long, 1.2-cm-diameter plastic (smooth) pipes with six 90° threaded smooth bends and
two fully open gate valves. If the average flow velocity through the loop is 2 m/s, determine the required power input for the recirculating pump. Take the
average water temperature to be 60°C and the efficiency of the pump to be 70 percent.

- Water in a partially filled large tank is to be supplied to the roof top, which is 8 m above the water level in the tank, through a 2.5-cm-internal-diameter pipe by maintaining a constant air pressure of 300 kPa (gage) in the tank. If the head loss in the piping is 2 m of water, determine the discharge rate of the supply of water to the roof top.

At time t = 0, a faucet is opened to supply water into the container at a rate of 3 L/s. At the same time, a 4-cm-diameter hole with a discharge coefficient of 0.90 at the bottom of the container is opened. Determine how long it will take for the water level in the tank to drop to 1-m.arrow_forwardWater is transported by gravity through a 12-cmdiameter 800-m-long plastic pipe with an elevation gradient of 0.01 (i.e., an elevation drop of 1 m per 100 m of pipe length). Taking r = 1000 kg/m3 and n = 1 3 1026 m2/s for water, determine the flow rate of water through the pipe.

- In a pumping system handling water, the level in the suction tank is 3.2m below the pump shaft centerline; and the level in the discharge tank is 21m above the pump shaft centerline. The iniet piping is 7.6cm in diameter and together with its valves fittings is equivalent to 26m straight pipe. The discharge line, 6.35 cm in diameter, with its valves and fittings is equivalent to 72 m straight pipe. If the motor delivers 7.1 kW to the pump shaft, what is the pump efficiency for discharge rate of 12.63 Ips?

There is a small hole (diameter = 4 cm) in the side of the tank 5 m below the level of the water. Calculate the discharge rate.arrow_forwardConsider flow from a water reservoir through a circular hole of diameter D at the side wall at a vertical distance H from the free surface. The flow rate through an actual hole with a sharp-edged entrance (KL = 0.5) is considerably less than the flow rate calculated assuming “frictionless” flow and thus zero loss for the hole. Disregarding the effect of the kinetic energy correction factor, obtain a relation for the “equivalent diameter” of the sharp-edged hole for use in frictionless flow relations.arrow_forward

A pump is installed in a 250-m-long pipeline to raise water (v = 1 x 10-6 m²/s) 55 m from a reservoir to an elevated tank. The pipe is ductile iron with a diameter of 80 cm and a flow rate of 2.19 m³/s. The pump is placed outside the supply reservoir with a centerline elevation of 1.5 m below the reservoir water surface. Determine the maximum distance, Lmax, in meters that the pump could be installed away from the supply reservoir (the allowable length of the suction line) without encountering cavitation problems. The required net-positive suction head is NPSH = 4.75 m and the water is at 30° C. Total minor losses for the entire pipeline are 17.8 times the velocity head, including exit loss. Minor losses in the suction line are 5.0 times the velocity head. Use an atmospheric pressure of 101.0 kPa.
