Water is pumped from a lower reservoir to a higher reservoir by a pump that provides kW of useful
mechanical power to the water. The free surface of the upper reservoir is m higher than the surface of
the lower reservoir. If the flow rate of water is measured to be determine the irreversible head
loss of the system and the lost mechanical power during this process.

Underground water is to be pumped by a percent efficient submerged pump to a pool whose free
surface is above the underground water level. The diameter of the pipe is cm on the intake side
suction side and cm on the discharge side. Determine:
a The maximum flow rate of water
b The pressure difference across the pump inlet and the outlet

Water is flowing through a cm diameter water pipe at a rate of Now a diffuser with an outlet
diameter of cm is bolted to the pipe in order to slow down water, as shown below.
a Disregarding frictional effects, determine the force exerted on the bolts due to the water flow.
b If the bolts are with mm in diameter, determine the stress in each bolt
