1. Water at 40 °F is pumped between two reservoirs at a rate of 0.2 ft³/s through a 400 feet of 2-inch nominal diameter, Schedule 40 commercial steel pipe and several fittings as shown in the figure below. Compute the pump horse power required to accomplish this, if the pump is 75% efficient. Use K = 0.5 at the Entrance. Flow 90° standard elbow 100 ft Pump Globe valve - fully open Entrance /Half-open gate valve -Exit 2" diameter, Schedule 40 Commercial steel pipe, Total length 400 ft. 12-inch mean bend radius 1.
