5.) Take tank, hose and nozzle as point 1,2,3. Gage pressure at tank is given 3 kPa (P1). Using
Bernoulli’s equation :
Now, we obtained the velocity for nozzle. Using mass conservation and Bernoulli equation. We can
obtain information in hose.

2.) Height of the tank from the reservoir = 25 m

Volume Flow rate : 25 l/s

Power Input = 10kW

The irreversible head loss for the piping system = 7 m

3.)
4.)
A submersible pump with a shaft power of 5 kW and an efficiency of 72% is used to pump water
from a lake to pool through a constant diameter pipe, to a tank 25 m above the lake surface. If the
irreversible head loss in the piping system is 4 m, determine the discharge rate of water and the
pressure difference across the pump.
