Activity 6 Calculations

1) The pump must deliver a head of 337.90 meters to pump 14,000 gallons per hour of water through a 2 inch diameter pipe. 2) With an inlet pressure of 172.369 KPa, the outlet pressure will be 761.541 KPa. 3) The annual electricity consumption to run the pump with 85% motor efficiency will be over 5.3 million Philippine pesos.

Calculations:

Given:

Q = 14,000 gal/hr of water (52.995765 m3/hr)

Pipe Diameter= 0.0508 m (2 inch)

Required:

a. The head that the pump must deliver


b. Outlet pressure when inlet pressure is 172.369 KPa (25psig)
c. Shaft work (Ws)
d. Annual electricity consumption if motor efficiency is 85%,

Solutions:

Assumptions

1. Commercial steel pipe was used (with roughness of 0.046mm)


2. Water temperature is at 250C,
