1. A pump raises the pressure of water in a line by 2.76bar. The pump exit is 6.10m above the inlet.
Neglecting the changes is internal and kinetic energies between inlet and exit, compute the shaft
specific work needed to drive the pump (water = 1000 kg / m3). Neglect loss, i.e. the pump system
is 100% efficient.
2. A centrifugal pump is pumping water at the rate of 20 lit/s. Readings recorded from pressure
gauges mounted at the two ends of the pump are 80kPa and 250kPa. The height difference
between the two ends of the pump is 300 mm and the suction and pressure end pipes are 75 mm
diameter. Calculate the specific work, the head of the pump and the power required to run the
pump. Assume no losses.
3. In a turbomachine handling an incompressible fluid with a density of 1000 kg/m3 the conditions
of the fluid at the rotor entry and exit are as given below:
Inlet Exit
