Problem 80HP
Pumps, Pipe and Channel Flows
A small water pump is used in an irrigation system. The pump takes water in from a river at 10°C, 100 kPa at a rate of 5 kg/s. The exit line enters a pipe that goes up to an elevation 20 m above the pump and river, where the water runs into an open channel. Assume that the process is adiabatic and that the water stays at 10°C. Find the required pump work.

Problem 80HP
Pumps, Pipe and Channel Flows
A small water pump is used in an irrigation system. The pump takes water in from a river at 10°C, 100 kPa at a rate of 5 kg/s. The exit line enters a pipe that goes up to an elevation 20 m above the pump and river, where the water runs into an open channel. Assume that the process is adiabatic and that the water stays at 10°C. Find the required pump work.
ANSWER:
Solution
Step 1 of 3
In this problem, we have to find the required work done by the pump. The water pump has both inlet and exit flow.
