When the pump in the Figure below draws 220 m3/hr of water at 20°C (ρ = 998 kg/m3) from the
reservoir, the total friction head loss is 5 m. The flow discharges through a nozzle to the
atmosphere. Estimate the pump power in kW delivered to the water.

Energy Equation (for incompressible steady flow):

𝑝 𝛼𝑉 2 𝑝 𝛼𝑉 2
( + + 𝑧) = ( + + 𝑧) + ℎ𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑏𝑖𝑛𝑒 − ℎ𝑝𝑢𝑚𝑝 + ℎ𝑓𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛
𝜌𝑔 2𝑔 1
𝜌𝑔 2𝑔 2

Turbulent pipe flow kinetic correction factor α = 1.11

𝑃𝑝𝑢𝑚𝑝 = 𝜌𝑔𝑄 ℎ𝑝𝑢𝑚𝑝

Hint: write the energy equation between the free surface

and the nozzle exit.
