Answer:
Part A
The mass plow rate, is approximately 97.0 lbm/s
Part B
The power used to overcome friction, is approximately 1.9 hp
Explanation:
The efficiency of the pump, η = 80%
The power input to the pump, P = 20 hp
The speed of the water through the pipe, v = 10 ft./s
The diameter of the pipe, d = 5.2 inches = 13/30 ft.
The free surface of the pool above the lake, h = 80 ft.
The density of the water, ρ = 62.4 lbm/ft.³
Part A
The mass plow rate, = Q × ρ
Where;
ρ = 62.4 lbm/ft³
Q = A × v
A = The cross-sectional area of the pipe
∴ Q = π·d²/4 × v = π × ((13/30 ft.)²)/4 × 10 ft.s ≈ 1.4748 ft.³/s
∴ The mass plow rate, ≈ 1.4748 ft.³/s × 62.4 lbm/ft.³ = 97.02752 lbm/s
The mass plow rate, ≈ 97.0 lbm/s
Part B
The power to pump the water at the given rate, =
·g·h
∴ = 97.02752 lbm/s × 32.1740 ft./s² × 80 ft. ≈ 14.1130725 Hp
≈ 14.1130725 Hp
The power output of the pump, = 0.8 × 20 hp = 16 hp
Therefore, the power used to overcome friction, =
-
∴ ≈ 16 hp - 14.1130725 Hp ≈ 1.8869275 hp
The power used to overcome friction, ≈ 1.9 hp
