As shown in the figure below, a pump lifts water through a 100-mm diameterductile iron pipe (friction factor f = 0.0251) from a lower to an upper reservoir. If the differencein elevation between the reservoir surfaces is 10 m, and the pump performance curve is givenby H = 15 – 0.1Q2, where H is in m and Q in L/s.a. Determine the system head curve (relationship between TDH and Q) assuming theentrance and exit loss coefficients are both 1b. Estimate the flow rate through the systemc. If the minimum NPSH for this case is 1.5 m, determine the maximum height above thelower reservoir that the pump can be placed (assuming that the atmospheric pressure Pa=101 kPa, specific weight of water ? = 9.79 kN/m3, and the water vapor pressure Pv= 2.34 kPa).
Problem 1. Reynolds Transport Theorem. Two streams discharge into a pipe as shown. The flows are incompressible. The volume flow rate of stream A into the pipe is given by Qa = 0.02t m^3 /s and that of stream B by QB = 0.008t² m^3 /s, where t is in seconds. The exit area of the pipe is 0.01 m^2 . Find the velocity and acceleration of the flow at the exit at t = 14 seconds. A=0.01m2 Figure 1. Problem 1 Illustration.
The figure given below is a storage tank that contains a liquid at depth y, where y = 0 when the tank is half full. Liquid is withdrawn at a constant flow rate Q to meet demands. The contents are replenished at a sinusoidal rate 3Q sin?(t). Suppose that the outflow is not constant but rather depends on the depth. The differential equation for depth can be written as dy a(1+ y)125 = 3 sin?(t) dt A A y Use Euler's method to solve for the depth y from t= 0 to 10 d with a step size of 2 d. The parameter values are A = 1250 m², Q = 425 m³/d, and a = 175. Assume that the initial condition is y(0) = 0. (Round the final answers to five decimal places.)

Question B2 As shown in Figure B2, a cylindrical steel structure (density pb = 8000 kg/m³) loosely sits vertically on a flat concrete slab that is fixed at the bottom of the riverbed and in parallel to the river stream. The diameter and length of the cylindrical steel structure, which is fully immersed in the river stream, are 1 m and 6 m, respectively.
