A 1.75" PVC (i.e. smooth) pipe is being used to connect two reservoirs together. The water surface elevation (W.S.E)
of the two reservoirs has a 15ft elevation difference (with flow desired to move into the higher elevation).300ft of
pipe is required to connect the reservoirs. The system includes 10 pipe elbows (90 threaded),6 pipe unions, and a 13
closed ball valve. In addition, a 112 horsepower pump with the following pump curve characteristics will be used to
achieve flow in the desired direction:
Using the pipe design spreadsheet we developed in determine the operating point of this system with the pump described
above. For a little extra challenge numerically determine the EXACT value of the operating point (i.e. don't just use
graphical determination of the answer). The answer should be in the form of the graph shown below.
A 1 . 7 5 " PVC ( i . e . smooth ) pipe is being
