Question: You work as a project engineer at a water supply company for residential area. You are asked to evaluate the operation of a Taco brand

You work as a project engineer at a water supply company for residential area. You are asked to evaluate the operation of a Taco brand pump Model 4013 that rotates at 1160 rpm. Basically, the pump supply water at a temperature of 20oC from Reservoir Tank 1 and sends it to Reservoir Tank 2 through a 90 mm diameter pipe, as shown in Figure Q2(a). The water level in Reservoir Tank 1 is 2m and in Reservoir Tank 2 is 7m measured from the center-line of the pump. The horizontal distance between Tank 1 to Tank 2 is 25 m. You are aiming for an operating flow rate of 450 gallons per minute (1 gallon per minute =6.31X10-5 m3/s). The pump performance curves using different impeller sizes are given in Figure Q2(b).
Select a suitable piping material for the operation of the system and clearly state your reason for such selection.
Design all pipe connections, appropriate valves from Reservoir Tank 1 to Tank 2 through the pump. Refer to Figure Q2(a) as a guide but your design is not limited to that Figure. Evaluate and clearly describe the minor head losses considered in your system.
Evaluate the total head required for pump Anda berkerja sebagai jurutera projek di syarikat pengedalian air untuk kawasan perumahan. Anda diminta untuk menilai operasi pam berienama Taco Model 4013 yang berputar pada 1160 rpm . Pada asasnya, pam tersebut mengepam air pada suhu \(20^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\) dari Tangki Takungan 1 dan menghantarnya ke Tangki Takungan 2 melalui paip diameter 90 mm , sebagaimana ditunjukkan dalam Rajah S2(a). Paras air di Tangki Takungan 1 ialah 2 m dan di Tangki Takungan 2 ialah 7 m diukur dari garisan-tengah pam. Jarak mendatar diantara Tangki 1 ke Tangki 2 adalah 25 m . Anda menyasarkan kadar alir operasi 450 gelen seminit (1 gelen seminit \(=6.31\times 10^{-5}\mathrm{~m}^{3}/\mathrm{s}\)). Keluk prestasi pam menggunakan saiz pendesak yang berbeza diberikan dalam Rajah S2(b).
