Q3(40pts) A pump and a turbine are used in the water transmission system shown in the figure. The power required by the pump is 58kW, the pump efficiency is 70%, and the turbine extracts 11kW from the flow with an efficiency of 100%. The total loss between locations A and C is 3 times the velocity head at Section C. The velocity in the 25cm diameter pipe section is 5ms.
a) Find the elevation at C that the water can be raised by the pump.
b) Compute the pressures at points B and E, if the head loss between A and B is equal to the velocity head at Section C(no head loss between B and E).
c) Compute the horizontal and vertical reaction forces on the support of the pump.
d) Draw the energy and the hydraulic grade lines on the figure.
