Part 2(60 Points)
To meet increasing water, use demand, a municipality has decided to construct a new water treatment plant that will draw from a nearby natural reservoir using a pump, as shown in the image below.
Given:
T=5C
f=0.012
1m3=264 gallons
Atmospheric Pressure =101kPa
Purp Clazactanisic Curve
A) Find the flowrate delivered by the pump in this system in m3s. Assuming the planet can treat water at the same rate it receives it, what is the maximum increase in demand this plant can accommodate in MGD?
B) What is the maximum height above the natural reservoir surface that the pump could be installed without causing cavitation?
C) This plant serves a population of 350k people with an average consumption of 125 gallons per day per capita. Would the flowrate found in Part A be able to accommodate this population? If so, how many hours per day would it need to be ran and what would be the daily cost to run the pump if electricity cost $0.10kWH?
Part 2 ( 6 0 Points ) To meet increasing water,
