QUIZ #2 with Solution (Second Semester, AY 2015-2016)

Name: ____________________________________ February 3, 2016

INSTRUCTIONS. Please solve the problem below. Show all pertinent steps of your solution using a separate sheet of paper.
Do not write on back pages. You may use Perry’s ChE Handbook and the necessary graphs and table uploaded in the course
online group. Please clearly illustrate in the graph all the steps you made to obtain all pertinent data used in your solution.
Attached the graph/table with this questionnaire and your solution sheets as you submit your paper. Failure to comply
with any of these will invalidate your answer.

Consider the figure below:

Water at 25oC flows from the elevated tank to the pipeline and delivered at 150 L/min at a point that is 3 m above the floor
as shown in the figure above. The tank is open to atmosphere and the pipeline consists of 2” Sch 40 steel pipe, two fully
open gate valves and three 90o elbows. Friction loss in the pump is negligible. At steady-state flow, the water depth in the
tank is maintained at 2 m.

(a) 25 POINTSIf the pump provides 0.65 kW of power at an efficiency of 70%, at what pressure is the water discharged at
the pipeline delivery point?

(b) 25 POINTS If the horizontal 2” Sch 40 steel pipe on the floor was only 11 m long and a 3” Sch 40 steel pipe was used
until the delivery point, what is the total power (kW) delivered by the 70% efficient pump if the pressure at the
delivery point that was determined in (a) was to be maintained?

(c) If 1” Sch 40 steel pipe was used instead of the 3” Sch 40 steel pipe used in (b), what is the total power
25 POINTS

delivered by the pump? Assume all other conditions the same as in (b).

(d) How would you use the results in (a), (b), and (c), to select the best configuration among the three? Explain
25 POINTS

in as much detail as you can.
