Question: 2 . - Water will be pumped from a lake to a monitoring station on the slope of a mountain ( see Fig 1 )

2.- Water will be pumped from a lake to a monitoring station on the slope of a
mountain (see Fig1). The flow rate should be 95 gal/min, and the flow channel is
a standard 1 in. number 40(ID=27 mm) steel pipe. It has
a pump capable of supplying 8hp. Friction losses are equal to
F(ft*lbf/lbm=0.41L, where L(ft) is the length of the pipe.
Perform system energy balance
Calculate the maximum elevation, z, of the monitoring station above the lake if the
pipe rises at an angle of 30\deg
Use the following equation to solve the problemP+u22+gz+F=-Ws(m)
