Question 1(5 points)
Water flows through the piping system shown above (D =200 mm, L1=9 m, L2=3.0 m, and L3=1.5 m) at a volumetric flow rate of 0.202 m3/s. It enters the system inside the pipe at A and exits to the atmosphere at C.The gage pressure atAhas dipped to only3700 Pa, meaning a pump had to be installed as shown to help push the flow through the system and out at C.
The gate valve atB is fully open, and the elbows are all regular90 elbows. All fittings are flanged, there are no entrance or exit effects for the system, and the diameter can be treated as 8inches for the purposes of reading the minor losses chart (for your other calculations, use 200 mm).
Based on this information and that provided in the diagram, determine the power the pump puts into the system in kW. Use the friction factor equation given since coding a value into iLearn prohibited the use of approximate values from reading the Moody Chart (you will still need to read the Moody Chart on exams).
The tolerance on this problem is only 0.5%, so make sure to carry plenty of decimals in your calculations.
