A water pump has the following performance based on the tabulation below: Q, liters/min Total head, m Power in, W 100 12.0 208.5 120 10.0 204.2 140 8.5 211.3 160 7.5 227.9 180 7.0 263.8

Q, liters/min Total head,m Power in,W
100 12.0 208.5
120 10.0 204.2
140 8.5 211.3
160 7.5 227.9
180 7.0 263.8

1. Make computations each for the efficiencies at the different flowrates and total heads of the pump. Recommend at what total head should the pump be operated for maximum efficiency.

Water flows through a shower head steadily at a rate of 8 kg/min. The water is heated in an electric water heater from 158C to 458C. In an attempt to conserve energy, it is proposed to pass the drained warm water at a temperature of 388C through a heat exchanger to preheat the incoming cold water. Design a heat exchanger that is suitable for this task, and discuss the potential savings in energy and money for your area.

A centrifugal pump lifts water against a head of 36m, the manometric efficiency being 80%. The suction and delivery pipes are both 150mm bore, the impeller is of 375mm and 25mm wide at the outlet; its exit blade angle is 250 and the specific rotational speed is 1320 rev/min. If the total loss by friction in the pipeline at this speed is estimated at 9m, calculate the probable rate of discharge at this speed.
