Octane is to be pumped in a piping system that is routed from storage tanks to the main pump by a number of smaller pumps. One such arrangement is shown below. This pump must supply 0.4 m3 /s of octane to the main pump. All fittings are flanged; the pipe is wrought iron, schedule 80, 2 nominal, with L=65 m. The absolute pressure at section 2 is 282.5 kPa. Determine the power required to be transferred to the liquid. Assuming the overall pump-motor efficiency is 65%, determine the input power required by the motor. Sch 80, 2 Nom: ?? = 5.252 ????, ?? = 0.00015 cm. Octane: ?? = 701 ????/??3 , ?? = 0.51 × 10?3 ????/??2

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?

Liquids are often stored in elliptical storage tanks.. To measure the volume of liquid in the tank, a depth gauge (measuring stick) can be used. It is inserted into an opening at the top and the level the liquid reaches on the gauge can be used to determine the amount of liquid in the tank. The tank has width w, height h and length len (all in meters). In the example output shown below, we take w=8, h=4 and len=7....
