Question: Design a pump and check its performance for the system below. The pumping system shown below is supposed to deliver at least 1 4 0

Design a pump and check its performance for the system below. The pumping system shown below is supposed to deliver at least 140 GPM of water to the tank on the top of the hill. 3-inch commercial steel pipe is used for the entire system. Both tanks are open to atmospheric pressure (14.7 psia), and water temperature is 70F.
(a) Determine total dynamic head (TDH) operating against the pump for the design flow rate. Minor losses can be neglected for this step
(b) Use TDH and design flowrate to select an appropriate pump from the attached choices. Report the appropriate Impeller Diameter as well
(c) Determine the pump operating point, and report the following parameters for this point: capacity, TDH, efficiency, power required by pump, and NPSHR
(d) Check pump conditions in terms of cavitation. For this step, use operating capacity (found in Step c) and include minor losses.
