Question:

What power is required to pump water at a rate of 3 m3/s from the lower to the upper reservoir? Assume the pipe head loss is given by hL = 0.018(L/D)(V 2/2g), where L is the length of pipe, D is the pipe diameter, and V is the velocity in the pipe. Th e water temperature is 10°C, the water surface elevation in the lower reservoir is 150 m, and the surface elevation in the upper reservoir is 250 m. Th e pump elevation is 100 m, L1 = 100 m, L2 = 1000 m, D1 = 1 m, and D2 = 50 cm. Assume the pump and motor efficiency is 74%. In your solution, include the head loss at the pipe outlet and sketch the HGL and the EGL. Assume α = 1.0 at all locations.
