The piping system that delivers water to the second floor of your house, at an elevation of 16 feet from the ground, consists of 22 feet of 0.75" ID (ID = Internal Diameter) pipe followed by 16 feet of 0.5" ID pipe. Calculate the minimum pressure required at the beginning of the piping system, located on ground level, for delivering water with a flowrate of 2.7 gallons per minute at atmospheric pressure on the second floor. Consider only losses at the constriction and major losses. The piping is copper, and has roughness of “drawn tubing”.

Design a system to move 100 gpm of water from a river with surface water elevation of 201.35 ft msl to a tank with surface water elevation = 246.55 ft msl. The tank is pressurized; the air pressure in the tank is 60 psig. The total length of pipe is 125 ft with 6 standard elbows all made of Sch 40 steel pipe. Your design should specify the nominal diameter of pipe (use only commercially available sizes) and the power...

For a small scale hydraulic power system, the elevation difference between the reservoir water surface and the pond water surface downstream of the reservoir is 20.35. The velocity of the water exhausting into the pond is 7 m/s, and the discharge through the system is 4 m3/s. The head loss due to friction in the penstock (inlet pipe to turbine, under very high pressure) is negligible. Find the power produced by the turbine in kilowatts. Assume specific weight of water...
