Question: Problem # 6 . ( 4 0 % ) Water is being pumped from the lower reservoir through a nozzle into the upper reservoir. If

Problem #6.(40%)
Water is being pumped from the lower reservoir through a nozzle into the upper reservoir. If the pressure gauge at A (near the pump inlet) reads 12.3 psia. Here, "El" indicates elevation. Note the changes in pipe diameters. You can consider the system to be frictionless.
a) Find the flow velocity at the pump inlet. 10%
b) Find the flow velocity through the nozzle (i.e., the exit velocity).5%
c) Find work done on the system. 10%
d) Find the HP of the pump. 5%
e) Find pump exit pressure. 10%
