A single-acting reciprocating pump has a plunger diameter of 250 mm, and stroke of 450 mm. It is driven at 60 rpm and undergoes SHM. The length and diameter of the delivery pipe are 60 m and 100 rpm, respectively. Determine the power saved in overcoming the friction in the delivery pipe, due to fitting of an air vessel on the delivery side of the pump. Assume the friction factor f = 0.01 the pipe friction formula hf = (flv2/2gd). (10)
