ANSWER
Q2
The total head provided by the pump is the sum of the useful mechanical power and the potential energy gain
of the water: Total head = useful mechanical power / (water density x gravity acceleration) + elevation
difference where: useful mechanical power = 20 kW water density = 1000 kg/m3 (assuming water is at
standard conditions) gravity acceleration = 9.81 m/s2 elevation difference = 45 m Substituting these
values, we get: Total head = 20,000 / (1000 x 9.81) + 45 = 47.04 m

The irreversible head loss is the difference between the total head and the head at the exit of the upper
reservoir: Irreversible head loss = total head - elevation of upper reservoir = 47.04 - 45 = 2.04 m

The lost mechanical power is the product of the flow rate, the water density, and the gravitational acceleration,
multiplied by the irreversible head loss: Lost mechanical power = flow rate x water density x gravity
acceleration x irreversible head loss = 0.03 x 1000 x 9.81 x 2.04 = 18.9 kW Therefore, the irreversible head
loss of the system is 2.04 m, and the lost mechanical power during this process is 18.9 kW.
Therefore, the irreversible head loss of the system is 2.04 m, and the lost mechanical power during this
process is 18.9 Kw

ANSWER Q3
A  manometer containing oil (rho=850kg/m3) is attached to a tank filled with air. If the oil-
level difference between the two columns is 45cm and the atmospheric pressure is 98kPa,

Absolute pressure

Solution :-
converting m into cm
100 cm = 1 m
45 cm = 45/100 = 0.45 m
At first finding pgh
pgh = (850 × 10 × 0.45)
pgh = 3825
Now
Pressure = Pₐ + pgh
Pressure = 98000 + 3825
Pressure = 101825 pascal

The total head provided by the pump is the sum of the useful mechanical power and the potential
energy gain of the water: Total head = useful mechanical power / (water density x gravity acceleration)
+ elevation difference where: useful mechanical power = 20 kW water density = 1000 kg/m3
(assuming water is at standard conditions) gravity acceleration = 9.81 m/s2 elevation difference
= 45 m Substituting these values, we get: Total head = 20,000 / (1000 x 9.81) + 45 = 47.04 m
Step 2/3
The irreversible head loss is the difference between the total head and the head at the exit of the
upper reservoir: Irreversible head loss = total head - elevation of upper reservoir = 47.04 - 45 = 2.04 m

The lost mechanical power is the product of the flow rate, the water density, and the gravitational
acceleration, multiplied by the irreversible head loss: Lost mechanical power = flow rate x water
density x gravity acceleration x irreversible head loss = 0.03 x 1000 x 9.81 x 2.04 = 18.9 kW
Therefore, the irreversible head loss of the system is 2.04 m, and the lost mechanical power during
this process is 18.9 kW.
Therefore, the irreversible head loss of the system is 2.04 m, and the lost mechanical power during this
process is 18.9 Kw
