EML3015C Thermal-Fluid I Fall 1998 Homework 4
1. A pump transfers water from one reservoir to another as shown. The total frictional
loss of the piping is given as KL(V2/2g) where V is the averaged velocity in the pipe.
The total head provided by the pump ,H, is a function of the volume flow rate, Q, as
given by H=100-50*Q, where H in m of water, Q in m3/s. If the loss coefficient
KL=10 and the pipe diameter is 0.1 m, what is the flow rate pumped to to the upper reservoir.
