Bernoulli’s Energy Equation

Bernoulli’s Equation with Head Loss:

𝐸1 − ℎ𝐿 = 𝐸2
𝑝1 𝑣12 𝑝2 𝑣22
𝑧1 + + + ℎ𝑎 − ℎ𝑒 − ℎ𝐿 = 𝑧2 + +
𝛾 2𝑔 𝛾 2𝑔

𝑝 𝑣2
𝑧 = elevation head = pressure head = velocity head
𝛾 2𝑔
ℎ𝑎 = head added (pumps) ℎ𝑒 = head extracted (turbines) hL = head loss
Power and Efficiency

Power is the rate of work done per unit time or the work produced per unit time.

Pump efficiency is defined as the ratio of water horsepower output from the pump to the shaft
horsepower input for the pump.

Situation 1:
Water is pumped between two reservoirs at 0.25 𝑚3 /𝑠 through 700 𝑚 of 250 𝑚𝑚 diameter pipe and
several minor losses, as shown in the figure. Assume 𝑓 = 0.014.

Determine the following:


1. Major head loss
2. Total minor head loss
3. Required head to be
added by a pump
4. Pump horsepower required

Answers:
1. 𝒉𝑳 = 𝟓𝟏. 𝟖𝟏 𝒎
2. 𝒉𝑳 = 𝟏𝟔. 𝟏𝟑 𝒎
3. 𝒉𝒂 = 𝟏𝟎𝟕. 𝟗𝟒 𝒎
4. 𝑷 = 𝟑𝟓𝟒. 𝟖𝟒 𝒉𝒑
Situation 2:
Water is to be moved from one large reservoir to another at a higher elevation as indicated in figure
shown. The loss of available energy associated with 2.5 ft3/s being pumped from sections 1 to 2 is 100
times of the velocity head.

Determine the following:


1. Velocity in the pipe
2. Pump head required
3. Amount of shaft power required

Answers:
1. 𝒗 = 𝟕. 𝟏𝟔 𝒇𝒕/𝒔
2. 𝒉𝒂 = 𝟏𝟐𝟗. 𝟔𝟓 𝒇𝒕
3. 𝑷 = 𝟑𝟔. 𝟕𝟕 𝒉𝒑
Situation 3:
Water is being pumped from a large lake to a reservoir 25 m above at a rate of 25 L/s by a 10-kW (shaft)
pump. The irreversible head loss of the piping system is 5 m.

Determine the following:


1. Pump head required, in m
2. Power required, in kW
3. Mechanical efficiency of the pump, in percent

Answers:
1. 𝐡𝐚 = 𝟑𝟎 𝒎
2. 𝑷 = 𝟕. 𝟑𝟔 𝒌𝑾
3. 𝜼 = 𝟕𝟑. 𝟓𝟖%
Seatwork:
A reservoir is 50 m above a lake. During the day, water is being
pumped from the lake to the reservoir at night, and is being flowed
back using a turbine during the day. Preliminary analysis shows that
a water flow rate of 1.5 m3/s can be used in either direction. Pipe
length is 60 m, while pipe diameter is 600 mm. Use 𝑓 = 0.018. The
combined pump-motor and turbine-generator efficiencies are
expected to be 75 percent each.

Determine the following:


1. Total head loss
2. Head added by pump during the night
3. Head extracted by turbine during the day
4. Power input for pump
5. Power output for turbine
