Question#1(5 marks)
Water is pumped from a lower reservoir to a higher reservoir by a pump that provides 19.5 kW of useful mechanical power to the water. The free surface of the upper reservoir is 44 m higher than the surface of the lower reservoir. If the flow rate of water is measured to be 0.03m3s, determine the irreversible head loss of the system and the lost mechanical power during this process.
Question#2(5 marks)
A vented tanker is to be filled with fuel oil with =920kgm3 and =50.045kgm*s from an underground reservoir using a 25-m-long, 4-cm-diameter plastic hose with a slightly rounded entrance and two 90 smooth bends. The elevation difference between the oil level in the reservoir and the top of the tanker where the hose is discharged is 5 m . The capacity of the tanker is 18m3 and the filling time is 30 min . Taking the kinetic energy correction factor at the hose discharge to be 1.05 and assuming an overall pump efficiency of 82 percent, determine the required power input to the pump.
