Consider a pump-pipeline system that delivers water from reservoir A to B with EA = 45.5 m and EB = 52.9 m. The pipe has a length of L = 3,050 m, diameter of D = 0.50 m, and a Darcy-Weisbach friction factor of f = 0.02. Minor losses include an inlet, exit, and swing type check valve. The pump characteristics are shown in the following table. When a single pump is used in the pipeline, the flow rate is 0. 595 m3 / sec with a pump head of about 66. 3 m. Detennine the flow rate in the pipeline if two identical pumps are used in a series combination. Also, determine the flow rate in the pipeline if two identical pumps are used in a parallel combination.
