Chapter 8, Problem 142P
The head versus capacity curve for a certain fan may be approximated by the equation H = 30 − 10−7 Q2, where H is the output static head in inches of water and Q is the air flow rate in ft3/min. The fan outlet dimensions are 8 × 16 in. Determine the air flow rate delivered by the fan into a 200 ft straight length of 8 × 16 in. rectangular duct.

A pumping station wet well operates between 540- and 550-ft elevation. The pump curve is deϐined by the following points: 80 ft at zero ϐlow, 78 ft at 200 gpm, 65 ft at 800 gpm, and 50 ft at 1200 gpm. The pump discharge contains an equivalent of 50 ft of 6-in. pipe. The discharge pipe is 120-ft long and terminates at a splitter box, elevation 570. Using C=100, plot the pump curve and the corrected pump curve. Plot the pump discharge curves at each wet well elevation and for C=100 and C=140. What is the pump ϐlow at the low and high wet well elevations for newand old pipe?
4. Water flows steadily from a reservoir tank through a pipe system having various sizes and elevations. Viscous
effects can be ignored, and no external force is applied to the system. It is useful to normalize pressure and
velocity in such a way that they have a dimension of length, namely 2 and 22, often called pressure head and
velocity head, respectively. At points A-G marked in the figure below, evaluate pressure head and velocity
head. Also evaluate elevation head (thus, elevation itself) and total head (sum of all three heads). Are total
heads at points A-G remain constant? Why or why not? For pressure head, use gauge pressure. For elevation
head, use G as a reference elevation (that is, z = 0).
