[5 marks] Water is pumped through the 300mm-diameter commercial steel pipe at a volumetric flow rate of 0.3m3s from the lower tank to the upper one.
Parts a,b and c are independent.
a)[2 marks] The friction loss F(in (:m2s2} can be expressed as F=(af+b)v22, where f is the Fanning friction factor. Include all friction losses. Use the equivalent length approach. Find the constants a and b.
b)[2 marks] Find an expression for the pump shaft power (brake horse power) in kW as a function of F(in (:m2s2=Jkg}. Pump efficiency =80%.
c)[1 mark] Calculate Re and the Fanning friction factor fPlz Solve s b c for 1
