Transcribed Image Text:

Water is delivered to a tank that is located at higher elevation from a reservoir storage by using a piping system shown in Figure 1. Water is drawn from the tank at the flow rate of Q m³/s, and the level of water in the tank is to be maintained at 2m. Propose a suitable piping design, and the position of the pump. The pump (together with platform) can only be installed on a flat, horizontal terrain, and required at least 5m of space. The aim of your design is to deliver the desired flow rate while minimize the cost to as low as possible. You are also required to check and prevent any cavitation from happening. The type and cost of the components available are given in Appendix. Clearly state all your assumption.
