1. One pump is not enough to pump water to a very high tank. If you use two pumps (to increase h), how are you going to install them?

(a) in parallel

(b) in series

2. For turbulent flow of all pipes, friction factor (f) depends on:

(a) Reynolds number (Re) only

(b) relative roughness (e/D) only

4. For a pumping system, which tends to cause cavitation?

(a) placing the pump close to the source reservoir to minimize head loss

(b) setting the pump at a higher elevation relative to the reservoir water surface

5. Show the SI dimension and BG unit of specific energy (E)

A small water pump is used for an irrigation project. The pump takes water in from a river at 10oC, 100 kPa at a mass flow rate of 16.83 kg/s. The exit line enters a pipe that goes up to an elevation 26.15 mm above the pump and river, where the water runs into an open channel. Assume the process is adiabatic and that the water stays at 10 oC. Find the required pump work.
