In a rural water supply scheme, a centrifugal pump is used to deliver water from a reservoir to the primary storage tank at a rate of 1200L/min. The schematic diagram of the water supply scheme, showing the diameter, length and friction coefficient of the suction pipe and the delivery pipe is shown in Fig Estimate the total power supplied by the pump in horsepower. The friction head loss in the pipe is given by fLV2/2Dg where f is the friction coefficient, Lis the length and D is the diameter of the pipe. (Ignore the local losses) Reservoir Suction pipe Diameter (D) = 75mm Length (L) 60m Friction Coefficient (f) = 0.003 15m 5m Delivery pipe Diameter (D) = 50mm Length (L) = 50m Friction Coefficient (f) = 0.002 Pump 30m Water storage 55m 60m In a rural water supply scheme, a centrifugal pump is used to deliver water from a reservoir to the primary storage tank at a rate of 1200L/min.
