Hot-rolled Steel sheet is quenched by passing under nine water sprays as depicted below. Each spray requires 15
gpm of water at 70F, and the pressure drop across each nozzle at this flow rate is 35 psi. Calculate the theoretical
horse power required by the pump.

Calculate the time to fill the mold, as depicted below, with
molten metal if the metal level at plane A is maintained
constant and the time to fill runner system (entering piping)
is ignored.
Data (all may be taken as constant)

5. In Figure there are 125 ft of 2-in pipe, 75 ft of 6-in pipe, and 150 ft of 3-in pipe, all cast iron. There are three 90
elbows and an open globe valve, all flanged. If the exit elevation is zero, what horsepower is extracted by the
turbine when the flow rate is 0.16 ft3/s of water at 20C?
