Examples Set -5 (15FMCE221 – Pumps and Valves)

Example 1
For the pump test arrangement shown in Figure, determine the mechanical
efficiency of the pump if the power input is measured to be 2.87 kW when
pumping 125 m3/h or oil (γ=8.8 kN/m3).
Example 2
Water at 10°C is flowing at a rate of 115 L/min through the fluid motor shown in
Fig. 7.10. The pressure at A is 700 kPa and the pressure at B is 125 kPa. It is
estimated that due to friction in the piping there is an energy loss of 4 Nm/N of
water flowing. (a) Calculate the power delivered to the fluid motor by the water.
(b) If the mechanical efficiency of the fluid motor is 85 percent, calculate the power
output.
Example 3
Calculate the power supplied to the pump shown if its efficiency is 76 percent. Methyl alcohol at
25°C (𝑆𝐺 = 0.789, 𝜇 = 5.6 × 10−4 𝑃𝑎. 𝑠) is flowing at the rate of 54 m3/h. The suction line is a
standard 4-in (𝐷𝑠 = 0.1023 𝑚; 𝐴𝑠 = 8.213 × 10−3 𝑚2) Schedule 40 steel pipe, 15 m long. The
total length of 2-in (𝐷𝑑 = 0.0525 𝑚; 𝐴𝑑 = 2.168 × 10−3 𝑚2 ) Schedule 40 steel pipe in the
discharge line is 200 m. Assume that the entrance from reservoir 1 is through a square-edged
inlet (𝐾 = 0.5), Exit loss K=1, and that the elbows are standard. The valve is a fully open globe
valve. The elevation between tank 1 and 2 is 𝑧2 − 𝑧1 = 10 𝑚.
Example 4
Water at 15°C (𝜐 = 1.124 × 10−6 𝑚2 /𝑠) is flowing in at section 1 in below system with Q = 6 L/s
= 0.006 m3/s. The pipe diameter of branch (a) is 2 inches (Da=5.1 cm, Aa=2.168 x 10–3 m2), and
the heat exchanger in branch (a) has a loss coefficient of K = 7.5 based on the velocity head in the
pipe. All three valves are wide open. Branch (b) is a bypass line with a steel pipe at diameter of
1¼ inch (Db=3.5 cm, Ab=9.653 x 10–4 m2). The elbows are standard. The length of pipe between
points 1 and 2 in branch (b) is 6 m. The length of pipe in branch (a) is very short and friction losses
can be neglected. For this arrangement, determine:
1. The volume flow rate of water in each branch;
2. The pressure drop between points 1 and 2.
Example 5
The arrangement shown below is used to supply lubricating oil to the bearings of a large machine.
The bearings act as restrictions to the flow. The resistance coefficients are 11.0 and 4.0 for the
two bearings. The lines in each branch are 1⁄2-in drawn steel tubing with a wall thickness of 0.049
in. Each of the four bends in the tubing are standard elbows. Include the effect of these bends,
but exclude the friction losses because the lines are short. Determine (a) the flow rate of oil in
each bearing and (b) the total flow rate in L/min. (The oil has a specific gravity of 0.881 and a
kinematic viscosity of 2.5 x 10-6 m2/s. The system lies in one plane, so all elevations are equal.)
