Question

Ski resorts pump water to make snow when the weather does not cooperate. Consider a resort that uses 100 gal/min of 35 °F water. It is pumped from the water holding pond through a 4- in. diameter, 3000-ft steel pipe to the top of the mountain. The elevation difference is 950 ft. The gage pressure required at the nozzle at the end of the pipe is 150 lbf/in.2 . Determine the required pumping power (in hp).
