PROBLEM 8.33 E
Water flows from a storage tank at 80 °F through 550 feet of pipe.
6-inch steel, schedule 40, as shown in figure 8.10. If we take into account the
energy loss due to friction, calculate the height h that is required over the
inlet of the pipe in order to produce a volumetric flow of 2.50 feet3/s.
PROBLEM 8.41M
From the reservoir of figure 8.15 and through the tube that can be seen, water flows at 10 °C,
flow rate of 900 L/min. Calculate the pressure at point B; take into account the loss of
energy due to friction, but ignore the ones behind.
PROBLEM 8.42E
For the system in figure 8.16, calculate the power that the pump transmits to the water if

ignore the others. Then, redesign the system using a pipe size
larger, in order to reduce energy loss and reduce the power that is
requires no more than 5.0 hp.
PROBLEM 8.44E
Figure 8.17 shows a system that is used to spray contaminated water into the air, with
the aim of increasing the oxygen content of it and making the solids
volatile solvents it contains evaporate. The pressure at point B. just outside of
the nozzle must be 25 psi to have an appropriate performance. The
The pressure at point A (pump inlet) is -3 50 psig. The volumetric flow rate is
0.50 pie3/s. The dynamic viscosity of the fluid is 4.0 X 10-5 lb-s/feet: The gravity
The specific gravity of the fluid is 1.026. Calculate the power that the pump transmits to the fluid;
take into account the energy loss in the discharge line.
PROBLEM 8.46 E
Water is pumped at 60 °F from a stream to a storage whose surface
It is 210 feet above the pump. (See figure 8.18.) The pipe that goes from the

loss due to friction in the discharge line and ignore the others.
PROBLEM 8.47E
If the pressure at the inlet of the pump described in problem 8.46 is -2.36 psig,
calculate the power that the pump transmits to the water.

oil. The total length of the 4-inch pipe is 25.0 feet, and that of the 3-inch pipe
The pump is 75.0 feet. Calculate the power that the pump transmits to the oil.

A flow of kerosene is measured through a measuring orifice similar to the one in the figure.
15.6. The pipe is 2 inches schedule 40 and the diameter of the hole is 1.00 inch.
Kerosene is at 77ºF; for a pressure difference of 0.53 psi across the
Orifice, calculate the volumetric flow rate of kerosene.
