Question:

A pump (Peerless 8AE20G, Appendix C) operates at 1775 rpm and has the 20 -in. inch impeller. It supplies the pipe-line below while operating at maximum efficiency. Find the pipeline loss coefficient \(K\) in the equation \(h_{L}=K Q^{2}\), with \(Q\) in gpm, for this condition. Neglect local losses.

If two of these pumps operate in parallel, what is the flow rate between the two reservoirs? Assume the pipeline \(K\) value remains unchanged.
