CE 3273 Water & Waste Systems / HW #10
A water system with two valves is shown in Fig. 1 and Table 1. Pump is located 6 ft below the surface of the source tank. show complete hand calculation and graph to determine,
a) pump operation point, Q=
GPM, H=
ft
b) operation efficiency, Eff =
%
c) input horsepower to the pump, Power =
HP
