12.[15] Consider the pump storage system shown at the right.
The surface water of the two large reservoirs has an elevation difference of 200 m and \(\mathrm{T}=20\mathrm{C}\). The pipe is a commercial steel pipe (\(\varepsilon=.045\mathrm{~mm}\)); it has a 0.1 m diameter and the total pipe length is 300 m . Determine the pump power required \((\mathrm{W})\) following the steps below, if the pump delivers \(0.01\mathrm{~m}^{3}/\mathrm{s}\).
(a) Define a control volume for the problem by labeling its inlet and exit in the figure.
(b) Specify the shaft head and pump power required assuming no losses.
(c) Repeat (b) accounting for major losses.
(a) From top of lower reservoir to top of upper reservoir.
(b)200 m and 19600 W
(c)203 m and 19900 W
