Afarmer is to pump water at 70°f from a river to a water storage tank nearby using a 125-ft-long, 5-in-diameter plastic pipe with three flanged 90° smooth bends. the water velocity near the river surface is 6 ft/s, and the pipe inlet is placed in the river normal to the flow direction of water to take advantage of the dynamic pressure. the elevation difference between the river and the free surface of the tank is 12 ft. for a flow rate of 1.5 ft3/s and an overall pump efficiency of 69 percent, determine the required electric power input to the pump. the density and dynamic viscosity of water at 70°f are ρ = 62.30 lbm/ft3 and μ = 2.360 lbm/ft·h = 6.556 × 10–4 lbm/ft·s. the roughness of a galvanized iron pipe is ε = 0.0005 ft. the required electric power input to the pump is kw.

Along 8-cm diameter steam pipe whose external surface temperature is 900c connects two buildings. the pipe is exposed to ambient air at 70c with a wind speed of 50 km/hr blowing across the pipe. determine the heat loss from the pipe per unit length. (b) air at 500c enters a section of a rectangular duct (15 cm x 20 cm) at an average velocity of 7 m/s. if the walls of the duct are maintained at 100c. a) the length of the tube for an exit temperature of the air to be 40 0c. b)the rate of heat transfer from the air. c) the fan power needed to overcome the pressure drop in this section of the duct.
