Question: A centrifugal pump having a pump head - discharge relationship ( pump characteristic curve ) given by the following equation h a = 1 8

A centrifugal pump having a pump head-discharge relationship (pump characteristic curve)
given by the following equation ha=180-5*Q2, with ha in ft and Q in ft3s, is to be used
with a system of two open-tanks and a single pipe (4-in diameter) that has three elbows (Ke
=0.51 and a globe valve )=(5.80. The total length of the pipe is 600 ft . Both tanks have
water in them, with water flowing from (1) to (2). The elevations of points (1) and (2) are 100
ft and 150 ft , respectively. Calculate the design volumetric flow rate ( cfs ) in the pipe. Neglect
entrance and exit losses. The friction factor for the pipe flow is 0.020.
