GROUP - C
11.(a) The velocity distribution in a circular pipe is given by
uumax=(1-rR)n
where u is the velocity at a distance r from the centre, ?max is the maximum velocity at the centre of the pipe and R is the pipe radius. Find the ratio of average velocity of flow in the pipe to the maximum velocity.

(a)
Water at 25C is pumped at a constant rate of 11m3h from a large reservoir resting on the floor to the open top of an experimental absorption tower. The point of discharge is 5.6 m above the floor, friction losses in the 52 mm pipe from the reservoir to the tower is 2.6JKg. At what height in the reservoir must the water level be kept if the pump can deliver only 0.12 kW .
Given data: Density of water =998Kgm3, viscosity of water =0.9cP.

(a) A pump (efficiency 55%) draws a solution (sp. Gravity 1.84) from a storage tank through a pipe of 75 mm inside diameter. The velocity in the suction line is 0.9ms. The pump discharges through a pipe having 50 mm inside diameter. The end of discharge pipe is 14.5 m above the level of solution in the storage tank. Friction losses in the entire system are 29JKg.
i) What is the power of the pump?
ii) What pressure must the pump develop?
