As a certified engineer, a new client
has asked you to help design a new
paved driveway for his small
business. To construct a new
driveway, or any new impermeable
area, the municipal code requires a
retention pool to be provided for
stormwater runoff (shown on the
right). Your client has asked you to
install a fountain to create a water
feature out of the necessary
infrastructure.
Your present goal is to size and locate the pump. You select a submersible pump which sits
on the floor of the 3 ft deep retention pool. It sucks the runoff water through a coarse filter
with negligible loss. The discharge line is a 3(1)/(2) ft long, 3/8-inch diameter commercial steel
tube. Determine the size of the pump to be used to produce a 20 ft tall fountain. Include pipe
friction
