Cooling water (T= 20 C) is pumped from a reservoir to rock drills on a construction job using the pipe system With Diameter D = 10 cm. The flow rate must be 130 m3/h and water must leave the spray nozzle at 30 m/s. Nozzle discharge at the 100 m above reservoir (a) Calculate the minimum pressure needed at the pump outlet. (b) Estimate the required power input if the pump efficiency is 70 percent.

know that,

K 1 = 0.1

K 2= 0.16

Joints 10 each with K joint = 0.4

Pipe D=10 cm (alumunium)

L (Total) = 250 m

Vout = 30 m/s

Solutions

Expert Solution

pipe dia = 10 cm = 0.1 m

flow rate in the pipe = 130 cu.m/hr

area of cross section =/2 r² = 0.00785 sq.m

velocity of water in the pipe = 130 /0.00785 = 16552 m/hr = 4.598 m/s

height of the nozzle = 100 m

velocity at the nozzle = 30 m/s

using Bernoulli's principle.

P₁ + gh₁ + /2 v₁² = P₂ + gh₂ + /2 v₂²

pressure required to maintain the flow

P = P₁ - P₂ = g(h₂-h₁ ) + /2( v₂² - v₁² )

= 1000*9.8*100 + 1000/2 * (30² - 4.6²)

= 1,419,420‬ Pa

b) power required:

we need to pump 130 cu.m /hr

mass of water = 130000 kg to lift /hr

= 36.11 kg /s

energy required = mgh = 36.11*9.8*100 = 35389 J/s

= 35.389 kW

the pumps works at 70%

power required = 35.389/0.7 = 50.56 kW

Water is drawn from a reservoir and pumped an equivalent length of 2 miles through a horizontal, circular duct of 10-in. i.d. (wall roughness k = 0.01 ft). At the end of this duct, the flow is divided into a 4- and a 3-in. schedule 40 steel pipe. The 4-in. line has an equivalent length of 200 ft. and discharges to the atmosphere at a point 50 ft. above the surface of the water in the reservoir. This flow must...

. During droughts, water for irrigation is pumped from the ground. When ground water is pumped excessively, the water table lowers. In California, lowering water tables have been linked to reduced water quality and sinkholes. A particular well in California’s Inland Empire has been monitored over many years. In 1994, the water level was 250 feet below the land surface. In 2000, the water level was 261 feet below the surface. In 2006, the water level was 268 feet below...
