Question: Two reservoirs, at the same level, are connected with 6 0 0 m long galvanised steel pipe ( take internal diameter 7 5 mm ,

Two reservoirs, at the same level, are connected with 600m long galvanised steel pipe (take internal diameter 75mm, roughness 0.15mm). The pump connecting the two reservoirs is pumping water at 750 L min-1. Both reservoirs have gate valves (loss coefficient 0.15) for isolation, the pipework has 6 elbows (loss coefficient 0.25), the pump being used has an inlet diameter of 100 mm and outlet diameter of 76.8mm and there is a check valve after the pump (loss coefficient 1) to avoid back flow. Calculate

The pump pressure rise,

The pump work per unit mass of fluid pumped, and

The required pump power.
