12.5.1 Solve example 12.5.1 using a 12-in diameter discharge pipe from the pump to reservoir B. All other information is the same.
EXAMPLE 12.5.1
Water at 60F is pumped from reservoir A (surface elevation 20.0ft) to reservoir B (surface elevation 50.0ft), as shown in Figure 12.5.13(a). A 12-in diameter suction pipe (from reservoir A to pump) is 100ft long and the discharge pipe (from pump to reservoir B) is 10.0in in diameter and 1500ft long. Assume that the friction factor for each pipe is 0.015. The suction pipe has an entrance loss coefficient of Ke=1.0 and a check valve loss coefficient of KV=2.5. The discharge pipe has two gate valves KGV=0.2 fully open. The pump has the head-discharge curve and efficiency curves shown in Figure 12.5.13b. The pump is operated at 1800rpm.
(a) What is the flow rate?
(b) Find the power required to drive the pump.
Single-stage pump
