A 20 degree Brix apple juice is being pumped from an open tank through a 1-in nominal diameter sanitary pipe into a second tank at a higher level. The mass flow rate is 1 kg/s through 30 m of straight pipe with two 90 degree standard elbows and one angle valve. The supply tank maintains a liquid level of 3 m and the apple juice leaves the system at an elevation of 12 m above the floor. Compute the power requirements of the pump.

Given: Juice density is 997.1 kg/m3 and viscosity is 2.1*10-3 Pa.s. Pump efficiency is 60%.

Beer is to be pumped from a fermenting vessel to a racking tank at a velocity of 1.5 m/s through a 100 mm ID pipe, having an absolute roughness of 0.05 mm. The total length of the pipe, allowed for fitting and valves is equivalent to 10 m on the suction side of the pump and 60 m on the delivery. The pump is situated at 3 m below the constant level of beer in the fermenting vessel, which is...

Water is being pumped through a horizontal pipe that is 36.0 m long and 13.5 cm in diameter. A pump maintains a gauge pressure of 742 Pa at a large open tank at one end of the pipe. The other end of the pipe is open to the air. If this pipe is replaced by a second one of length 9 m and diameter 5.0 cm, what gauge pressure must the pump provide to give the same volume flow rate...

Water at 200 Fahrenheit is pumped from a storage tank at the rate of 50 gallons/minute. The motor for the pump supplies work at the rate of 2 hp. The water goes through a heat exchanger, giving up heat at the rate of 40,000 BTU/minute(Q Net In), and is delivered to a second storage tank at an elevation 50 feet above the first tank. What is the temperature of the water delivered to the second tank?

Turpentine flows by gravity from tank 1 to tank 2 through 24 m of 1.5-inch diameter commercial steel pipe. Both tanks are open to atmosphere. The tanks are large, so assume that the level of turpentine in both tanks remains the same with time. The level of tank 1 is 15 m higher than the level of tank 2 (indicated on the schematic as z1 and z2). There are two standard 90° elbows and one open gate valve in the...
