Problem-1. Two reservoirs are connected by a 190m long, 100mm diameter ductile iron
pipe for which the roughness height is estimated to be 0.3mm. The difference of water surface
elevations between the two reservoirs is 5m. The minor losses have been estimated to be 5.4
times the velocity head. The pump recommended to transfer water from the lower to the upper
reservoir has the characteristics curve described by:
hp=-400.0245Q2
where
hp is the head in meters and Q is discharge in Ls.
(a) Determine the system demand equation.
(b) Plot the system demand and pump characteristics curve in a single diagram.
(c) Determine the discharge and head at the operating point. Assume the flow to be
in a fully turbulent regime.
