Water is moved between two reservoirs at different height using a pump, as schematised 2 V. below. The pump head can be written as hpump = ho - a with ho = 24.4 m and a = 0.0678 m/(Lpm)2, where Lpm means litres per minute. The dimensions of the system are reported below together with the values for the minor losses coefficients. a. Draw the schematic below on your answer sheet. Clearly label each section of the drawing. b. Write down the simplified energy balance on the overall system. Clearly explain each assumption. c. Evaluate the velocity in the pipe. Clearly explain each assumption. d. Evaluate the volumetric flow rate. 22-217.85 m (elevation difference) D = 2.03 cm (pipe diameter) KL, entrance = 0.50 (pipe entrance) KL. valve = 17.5 (valve) KL, elbow = 0.92 (each elbow-there are 5) 22-21 KL. exit = 1.05 (pipe exit) V₁0 Reservoir L = 176.5 m (total pipe length) e = 0.25 mm (pipe roughness) Z₁ TD2 Valve Pump V₂=0 Reservoir [5 marks] [5 marks] [12 marks] [3 marks] Water is moved between two reservoirs at different height using a pump, as schematised 2 V. below.
