Question:

It is desired to drive a small, positive-displacement pump by chucking a household electric drill to the drive shaft of the pump. The pump delivers 1.0 in 3 of water at 60°F per revolution, and the pump rotates at 2100 rpm. The outlet of the pump flows through a 100-ft smooth plastic hose with an ID of 0.75 in. How far above the source can the outlet of the hose be if the maximum power available from the drill motor is 0.20 hp? The pump efficiency is 75 percent. Consider the friction loss in the hose, but neglect other losses.
