Question #3: Pump Horsepower in a Brine System.
A pump pumps 0.400ft3s of brine solution having a density of 1.15gcm3 from an open
feed tank having a large cross-sectional area. The suction line has an inside diameter of
3.548 in. and the discharge line from the pump has a diameter of 2.067in. The discharge
flow goes to an open overhead tank, and the open end of this line is 75ft above the liquid
level in the feed tank. If the friction losses in the piping system are 18.0ft*lbflbm, what
pressure must the pump develop and what is the horsepower of the pump if the efficiency
is 65%? The flow is turbulent.
