Q4. The diameter and stroke of a single-acting reciprocating pump are 300 mm and 500 mm respectively. The pump takes its supply of water from sump 3.2 m below the pump axis through a pipe 9 m long and 200 mm diameter. If separation occurs at (2.4 − ? ??? ) m of water absolute, determine: (i) The speed at which separation may take place at the beginning of suction stroke, and (ii) The speed of the pump if an air vessel is fitted on the suction side 2.4 m above the sump water level. Take atmospheric pressure head = 10.3 m of water, and friction co-efficient, f = 0.01. Where n is the last two digits of student ID number [5.5 Marks
