Expert Answer
 Length of pipe = 5000m

head of the pipe = 500 m

flow rate of water = 0.65 cubic meter per sec

efficiency of pump 85 percent

density=1000 kg/cubic mtr

efficiency = input /output

output = density x flow rate x head /1000

    = 1000 x0 65.x 500

     = 325.000

input = 276.250kw

the pressure difference = 325- 276.250

                            = 48.75 m

rate of energy addition= 276.250/14

                              = 19

daily cost = 19 x 14 x 24

           =6630 cents

Water flows in a horizontal constant-area pipe; the pipe diameter is 50 mm and the average flow
speed is 1.5 m/s. At the pipe inlet the gage pressure is 588 kPa, and the outlet is at atmosphere
pressure.
(a) Determine the head loss in the pipe.
(b) If the pipe is now aligned so that the outlet is 25 m above the inlet, what will the inlet pressure
need to be to maintain the same flow rate?
(c) If the pipe is now aligned so that the outlet is 25 m below the inlet, what will the inlet pressure
need to be to maintain the same flow rate?
(d) How much lower than the inlet must the outlet be so that the same flow rate is maintained if both
ends of the pipe are at atmospheric pressure (i.e., gravity feed)?
