13. Pump having a displacement volume of 14 cm 3/rev runs at 2000 rev/min. It CO1/K3
operates against the maximum system pressure of 15Mpa. The volumetric
and overall efficiency of pump are 90 and 80 percentage respectively
determine.
i)Actual flow rate delivered in litre /min
ii)power required to drive the pump
iii)the drive torque at the pump shaft
14. Water circulates throughout a house in a hot water system. If water is (10) CO1/K3
pumped at a speed of 0.5 m/s through 4cm diameter pipe in the basement
under a pressure of 3.03x105 pa. What will be the velocity and pressure in a
2.6 cm diameter pipe on the 2nd floor 5m above.
