A typical pump system is given in Fig. Q1. Pipes are 1 4 in nominal (42.4/3.25mm) and volumetric flow rate is 5.5 m'/h. At this condition, pressure supplied by the pump is 8 mWH. Liquid is the water at 20C. Im a) Calculate the frictional losses and kinetic, potential, pressure and total energies at each point given in Fig.Ql. Draw the energy grade lines. Frictional losses per length of the pipe are 0.012 mWH/m. b) What fraction of the total energy are kinetic energy and frictional losses? Discuss the effect of potential and pressure energies on the total energy requirement. 8 m I m Im Fig. Q1 Answer sheet: Kinetic Potential Pressure Frictional Total Energy Points Energy (mWH) Energy, Pg (mWH) Losses, Hf (MWH) Energy HT (mWH) (mWH) 1 3 4 6.
