A centrifugal pump is used to transfer water at 50C through the system shown in the accompanying figure. The reservoir surface (1) is 1.5 m above the centerline of the pump inlet. The suction line is a standard 6-inch Schedule 40 steel pipe and is 15 m long. The total length of the 4-inch Schedule 40 discharge line is 200 m. The discharge line also contains a 50% closed gate valve and two flanged, regular 90 elbows. **NOTE: You must submit your own figures; any students that submit identical figures will get a grade of zero on this question** Please complete the following tasks: a) Produce a properly labelled system resistance curve for the water transfer system described above. The range of operation of the system is 5 A centrifugal pump is used to transfer water at 50C through the system shown in the accompanying figure.
