Concept explainers
Carefully sketch the energy grade lines (EGL) and hydraulic grade lines (HGL) for the system shown in Fig. 6.6 if a pump adding energy to the fluid is located at point②, such that flow is into the reservoir. In Chapter 8 we will investigate the effects of friction on internal flows. Can you anticipate and sketch the effect of friction on the EGL and HGL for the two cases?

- A pump is delivering 160 liters per second of water using an impeller diameter of 254mm and operating at a speed of 1800 rpm. If the speed is held constant and the impeller diameter is changed to 203.2 mm, what is the new discharged of the pump in liters per second?(128 L/s)arrow_forwardWater (density = 62.4 lb/ft³, viscosity = 1 cP) is pumped from a large reservoir on the floor at a rate of 80 gpm to the top of a smaller tower. The discharge point is 20 ft above the centerline of the pump. Frictional and other (contraction, expansion, etc.) losses in suction and discharge lines amount to 1.5 ft head of liquid. If the pump develops only 1/4 hp, the water height (ft) in the reservoir must be closest to O 9.1 O 7.0 O 8.6 O 6.5arrow_forwardCan someone please help me to solve the following question showing all work.

- Q(in) is a constant inflow which maintains the water level in the tank. Find the horizontal force needed to hold the tank stationary. If you could make any notes on steps in the method to make it clearer that would be great too. Thanks in advance!arrow_forwardC2. A conical tube is fixed vertically with its smaller end upwards and it forms a part of the pipeline. The diameter at the smaller end is 245 mm and at the larger end is 467 mm. The length of the conical tube is 1.8 m and the flow rate of the oil is 128 liters/s. The pressure at the smaller end is equivalent to a head of 9.7 m of oil. Considering the following two cases: (1) Neglecting friction, (without head loss) determine (i) the velocity at the smaller end in m/s, (ii) the velocity at the larger end in m/s, and (iii) the pressure at the larger end of the tube. (2) If a head loss (with head loss) in the tube is hL= 0.0153(V1-V2)2, where V1 is the velocity at the smaller end and V2 is the velocity at the larger end, determine (iv) the head loss in m of oil and (v) the pressure at the larger end of the tube.arrow_forwardC2.
