(iii) the power dissipated by pipe friction<br />

(iv) the power dissipated in the valve.<br />

(b) Calculate, also, the overall efficiency <strong>of</strong> the installation.<br />

Solution<br />

(a) The pump and pipe system characteristics now intersect at<br />

H = 16.5 m; Q = 0.015 m 3 · s −1 ; η = 63%<br />

The frictional head loss is evaluated as h f = (100Q) 2 = 2.25 m. Since<br />

we deduce that<br />

h1 = h f + h valve and (H)pump = h1 + Hs = (H)pipe<br />

h valve = (H)pump − Hs − h f = (16.5 − 11.5 − 2.25) = 2.75 m<br />

(i) The power P supplied to the pump is given by<br />

P = ϱgHQ<br />

η<br />

= 103 kg · m−3 × 9.81 m · s−2 × 16.5 m × 0.015 m3 · s−1 0.63 × 103 W/kW<br />

= 3.85 kW<br />

(ii) The power dissipated in the pump = P(1 − η) = 3.85 × (1 −<br />

0.63) kW = 1.42 kW.<br />

(iii) The power lost by pipe friction =<br />

ϱghfQ = 103 kg · m−3 × 9.81 m · s−2 × 2.25 m × 0.015 m3 · s−1 103 W/kW<br />

= 0.33 kW<br />

(iv) The power lost in the valve<br />

ϱghvalveQ = 103 kg · m−3 × 9.81 m · s−2 × 2.75 m × 0.015 m3 · s−1 103 W/kW<br />

= 0.40 kW<br />

(b) The useful rate <strong>of</strong> working to raise water =<br />

ϱgHsQ = 103 kg · m−3 × 9.81 m · s−2 × 11.5 m × 0.015 m3 · s−1 103 W/kW<br />

= 1.69 kW<br />
