00
ft/s. As shown in the figure, the elevation of the center of the pipe above a given datum
is 10 ft. Find the total energy head above the given datum if the fluid is oil with specific
gravity of 0.82.

a. 12.333 ft
b. 35.253 ft
c. 25.221 ft
d. 22.251 ft Ans.
2. A 100-mm diameter suction pipe leading to a pump, as shown in the figure carries a
discharge of 0.0300 m3/s of oil (s.g.=0.85). If the pressure at point A in the suction pipe
is a vacuum of 180 mmHg, find the total energy head at point A with respect to a datum
at the pump.
a. -3.336 m Ans.
b. -7.333 m
c. 1.337 m
d. 4.336 m
3. The figure shows a pump drawing water from a reservoir and discharging it into the air
at point B. The pressure at point A in the suction pipe is a vacuum of 10 inHg, and the
discharge is 3.00 ft3/s. Determine the total head at point A and at point B with respect
to a datum at the base of the reservoir.

a. HA=14.136 ft. ; HB=81.147 ft Ans.

oil (SG=0.80). As long as the siphon is filled with air there is, of course, no tendency for
flow to occur. The pipe is 6 in. in diameter. Compute the discharge, if the loss of head
from 1 to 2 is 5 ft and from 2 to 3 is 8 ft.
