    Homework # 2

    DUE DATE: Thursday, 24-06-2021 (to be submitted during class)

    Problem 1: Water is pumped from a lake to a storage tank 18 m above at a rate of 70 L/s while
    consuming 20.4 kW of electric power. Disregarding any frictional losses in the pipes and any
    changes in kinetic energy, determine (a) the overall efficiency of the pump–motor unit and (b)
    the pressure difference between the inlet and the exit of the pump.

    Problem 2: A Pitot-static probe is used to measure the speed of an aircraft flying at 3000 m. If
    the differential pressure reading is 3 kPa, determine the speed of the aircraft.

    Problem 3: The air velocity in the duct of a heating system is to be measured by a Pitot-static
    probe inserted into the duct parallel to the flow. If the differential height between the water
    columns connected to the two outlets of the probe is 2.4 cm, determine (a) the flow velocity
    and (b) the pressure rise at the tip of the probe. The air temperature and pressure in the duct
    are 45°C and 98 kPa, respectively.

    Problem 4: Water flows through a horizontal pipe at a rate of 2.4 gal/s. The pipe consists of two
    sections of diameters 4 in and 2 in with a smooth reducing section. The pressure difference
    between the two pipe sections is measured by a mercury manometer. Neglecting frictional
    effects, determine the differential height of mercury between the two pipe sections.
    Problem 5: Water is pumped from a lower reservoir to a higher reservoir by a pump that
    provides 20 kW of useful mechanical power to the water. The free surface of the upper
    reservoir is 45 m higher than the surface of the lower reservoir. If the flow rate of water is
    measured to be 0.03 m3/s, determine the irreversible head loss of the system and the lost
    mechanical power during this process.

    Problem 6: Underground water is to be pumped by a 78 percent efficient 5-kW submerged


    pump to a pool whose free surface is 30 m above the underground water level. The diameter of
    the pipe is 7 cm on the intake side and 5 cm on the discharge side. Determine (a) the maximum
    flow rate of water and (b) the pressure difference across the pump. Assume the elevation
    difference between the pump inlet and the outlet and the effect of the kinetic energy
    correction factors to be negligible.
    Problem 7: An oil pump is drawing 25 kW of electric power while pumping oil with density 860
    kg/ m3 at a rate of 0.1 m3/s. The inlet and outlet diameters of the pipe are 8 cm and 12 cm,
    respectively. If the pressure rise of oil in the pump is measured to be 250 kPa and the motor
    efficiency is 90 percent, determine the mechanical efficiency of the pump. Take the kinetic
    energy correction factor to be 1.05.
