If the pressure on the pump inlet is 60psi and the piping system is commercial steel( roughness = 0.00015) answer the following questions. Calculate the diameter of the pipe to produce an average fluid velocity of 11 ft/s If a pressure sensor is installed on the pump discharged at ground level, calculate the fluid pressure that will be displayed on the face of the sensor. Calculate the power transferred to the fluid by the pump in units of horsepower

A "spa tub" is to be designed to replace bath tubs in reno- vations. There are to be 6 outlet nozzles, each with a di- ameter of 12 mm, and each should have an outlet velocity of 12 m/s. What is the required flow rate from the single pump that supplies all of these nozzles? If there is one suction line leading to the pump, what is the minimum diameter to limit the velocity at the inlet of the pump to 2.5 m/s?
Topics: Fundamental of fluid flow Oil (SG=0.82) entering a pump through an 8-inch diameter pipe at 4 psi has a flow rate of 3.5 cfs. It leaves the pump through a 4-inch diameter pipe at 15 psi. Assuming that the suction and discharge sides of the pump are at the same elevation, find the horsepower delivered to the water by the pump (550 lb.ft/s = 1 HP). Illustrate the problem and show your complete solution.
