Question: II . There is a pump with power 1 2 h p ( 1 h p = 5 5 0 l b f f t

II. There is a pump with power 12hp(1hp=550lbffts) and efficiency of 70%, and it
pumps water from a lake to a pool at a flow rate of 1.2ft3s, as shown in the figure. The
water surface of the pool is 35ft above that of the lake. Ignores the velocity in the lake
and the pool. g=32.2fts2,=62.4lbmft3.
a) Compute the head loss, hL, of the pumping system (in ft)(10pts)
b) Suppose 90% of the head loss, h hL, comes from the major head loss in the pipelines
before and after the pump, the diameter of the pipelines is 0.5, and the wall
roughness of the pipelines is 0.001 f. Estimate the length of the total length of the
pipelines. Note: you can use either the Swamee and Jain formula or the Moody
diagram, at the end of this exam paper, to evaluate the friction coefficient (15pts).
c) Plot EGL and HGL from the entrance to the exit of the pipelines (there is head loss at
the entrance and the exit)(10 pts)
II . There is a pump with power 1 2 h p ( 1 h p =
