Question: b ) A pumping system is required as described below. On the following page you will find head vs flow curves for a 1 3
b A pumping system is required as described below. On the following page you will find head vs flow curves for a PentairAurora pump, two of which are available, if necessary, for this system. Note that the NPSH values which are given are in units of feet. Graph paper is also given if needed. Details of the flows, pipes, fittings and other information are as follows:
Flows: minimum demand mathrm~mmathrms at m pressure; maximum demand mathrm~mmathrms at m
Pipes: All have HazenWilliams C
NPSH Net Positive Suction Head
Intake: length: textrmm
Inlet elevation: textrmmmathrm below the centreline of the pump
minor fittings: I entrance, bends, check valve, gate valve, contraction,
manifold split if needed for two parallel pumps
Outlet: length: quadtextrmkm
minor fittings: expansion, check valve, gate valve, manifold join
k values for the minor headlosses for each fitting:
entrance:
bend:
check valve:
gate valve:
contraction:
expansion:
manifold join:
manifold split:
Other information:
Water temperature is circmathrmC; vapour pressure is mathrmkPamathrm~m; atmospheric pressure mathrmkPamathrm~m
Determine whether the available pumps will be satisfactory under all conditions of flow. marks
