Question: A submerged pump located 7 5 cm below the surface of a reservoir that is open to the atmosphere is to be connected to plastic

A submerged pump located 75 cm below the surface of a reservoir that is open to the atmosphere is to be
connected to plastic pipe with the same dimensions as Schedule 40 steel pipe. Since the pump is submerged in
the reservoir it does not require any suction line pipe other than to connect a strainer with an L(e)/(D)=75. The
system is required to pump a minimum of 80(m^(3))/() hour to a discharge at atmospheric pressure that is 5 m away
and 12.5 m above the reservoir. (see layout sketch) Design & sketch a system and spec the pump, the system
OPACT ^(2) all device(s)/(m)inor losses required.
