1.1 Define centrifugal pumps and briefly discuss their operating mechanisms.
1.2 Write the reasons for throttling a pump. What do we do if we do not use throttling?
1.3 Discuss the occurrence of surges in water supply systems and state the potential mitigation
mechanisms in big cities. Also explain how pressure surges affects water quality in water
supply systems.
1.4 Suppose the selected centrifugal pump for our use is not available in the market. Discuss how
you select another pump available in the market and how we can utilize that pump.
1.5 Derive an equation for the available NPSH for a pump is bellow the water in the suction
reservoir. Support your derivation by drawing.
Figure 8.12 shows a portion of a fire protection system in which a pump draws water at 60°F from a reservoir and delivers it to a point B at the flow rate of 1500 gal/min.
c. A lorry is carrying 4000 liters of water. It is driven from Kota Kinabalu to Mesilau and it
was discovered that the tank was only half full on arrival. The driver started with a full
tank, climbed at a steady rate, and accomplished the 1000 meters elevation change in 3
hours. If the water leaked at a steady rate, compute how much work was spent to carry
water to the top? Do not count the work done by the driver and the lorry to get there.
Water weighs 9.8 N/liter.
