Question: A centrifugal pump having a head - capacity relationship given by the equation h a = 1 8 0 - 6 . 1 0 1

A centrifugal pump having a head-capacity relationship given by the equation ha=180-6.1010-4Q2, with ha in feet when Q is in gpm, is to be used with a system as shown below. For z2-z1=50ft, what is the expected flowrate if the total length of constant diameter pipe is 600 ft and the fluid is water? Assume the pipe diameter to be 4 in . and the friction factor to be equal to 0.02. Neglect all minor losses. [25 pts ]
