A pump is to lift water from a source 10 ft below pump centerline and to be discharged to a tank 60ft above pump centerline. The installation uses 3”∅ and 2.5 “∅ pipe for suction and discharge, respectively. A pump is to handle 200 gpm of water at 80°F. The loss of head due to friction can be estimated equal to 8.5 ft. Determine: A) TDH B) WHP C)BHP if np = 60% D)time required to fill the cylindrical tank whose H = 15’ and diameter 8’ full of water.

Solutions

A sump pump (used to drain water from the basement of houses built below the water table) is draining a flooded basement at the rate of 0.55 L/s, with an output pressure of 2.95 × 105 N/m2. A. The water enters a hose with a 2.8 cm inside diameter and rises 2.2 m above the pump. What is its pressure at this point N/m2? You may neglect frictional losses. B. The hose goes over the foundation wall, losing 0.65 m...

Find the work (in ft-lb) required to pump all the water out of a cylinder that has a circular base of radius 6 ft and height 200 ft. Use the fact that the weight-density of water is 62.4 lb/ft3. Find the work (in ft-lb) required to pump all the water out of the cylinder if the cylinder is only half full.

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.

A centrifugal pump is to be used to pump water from a lake to a storage tank which is 165 feet above the surface of the lake. The pumping rate is to be 10 - 35 gal/min at a water temperature of 43°F. The water is used for drinking but will have to undergo filtration and chlorine treatment because there is sediment in the lake. The pump on hand can develop a discharge pressure of 60.0 psig pumping at a...

Consider a residential heat pump that uses lake water as the heat source in the winter and as heat sink inthe summer. The house is to maintained at a winter temperature of T= 18 degrees C and a summer temperature of T= 25 degrees C. To do this efficiently, it is found that the indoor coil should be at T= 50 degrees C in the winter and T= 5 degrees C in the summer. The outdoor coil temperature can be...
