Question: ( } As shown in the Figure, a pump is installed in a 1 0 0 m pipeline to raise water H = 2 0

(} As shown in the Figure, a pump is installed in a 100 m pipeline to raise water H=20m between reservoirs. The pipe is rough concrete with a diameter of 80cm. The design discharge is 2.06m3sec. Assume completely turbulent flow in the pipeline. The suction line is 15m of the 100-m length, and minor losses add up to 0.95m on the suction side of the pump.
(1) Determine the pump head (Hp).
(2) To prevent cavitation in the suction side at temperature 20c, the allowable height the pump can be placed above the supply reservoir (hp) is 10m, what is the Hs?
( } As shown in the Figure, a pump is installed
