Pump Work Determination- Numericals

Work supplied to the pump from shaft work = ws J/kg

Pump work = wp J/kg

Total friction in the pump/kg of fluid = hfp J/kg

Net mechanical energy available to the flowing fluid = wp - hfp

Pump efficiency, η = (wp – hfp) / ws

The mechanical energy delivered to the flowing fluid = ηwpṁ

Q1. Water at 25 ℃ is pumped at a constant rate of 24 × 10-4 m3/s from a


large reservoir resting on the floor to the top of an experimental
absorption tower. The point of discharge is 5m above the floor, and the
frictional loss in the 0.05m pipe from the reservoir to the tower amounts
to 2.4 J/kg. At what height in the reservoir must the water level be kept if b
the pump can develop only 100 watts?

ρwater =1000 kg/m3


Floor is taken as datum line. Let station ‘a’ be the surface of the water in
the reservoir and ‘b’ the discharge point. 5m

The velocity va in the reservoir will be very small and can be neglected.
The pressure Pa and Pb are atmospheric. So they get canceled out.

We know Power, P = ṁWp = 100 W  Wp = 100/ṁ

Q3. A Pump is used to draw water from a storage tank through a 100 mm pipe. The
efficiency of pump is 60%, the velocity in the suction line is 1 m/s. Pump discharges

above the level of the water. If the loss in the entire piping system is 30 J/Kg what is
the power required for pumping? What pressure must the pump develop?
