Could you give me a worked example on how to determine pump head needed in piping system with branch?
Figure is an example from my “Branch Line Pumping Alternatives” spreadsheet. It allows a user or designer to compare a standard branch-line pumping system with several alternative designs and calculate the potential cost savings of those alternative designs. It is an evaluation tool—not a design tool.
In this example, a single pump at Point A supplies two branches at Points B and C. The system requires a pump that can provide 600 gallons per minute (gpm) at 200 feet of TDH. Point B is at an elevation of 100 feet and has an outflow of 400 gpm. Point C is 100 feet higher and has an outflow of 200 gpm. This is illustrated by the upper red, angled line. To meet these conditions, 43.2 horsepower (HP) is required.
An alternative to a single line with two branches is two separate lines supplied by individual pumps. These are illustrated by the two lower, angled, red lines. The first line delivers 400 gpm from Point A to Point B at a head of 100 feet and requires 14.4 HP. The second line delivers 200 gpm from Point A to Point C at a head of 200 feet and also requires 14.4 HP. The total HP for the two individual lines is just 66 percent of the single branch line, so significant electrical savings are available. Will the electrical savings make the two-line system cost effective?

Outline how you would determine the amount of head needed to pump water from a low point to a higher point. Equations and diagrams might be useful.
Example of Pipe Sizing The figure shows a closed piping system to supply chilled water to two heat exchangers. Size the pipe for this system, assuming schedule-40 steel pipe is used with threaded (screwed) fitting. Determine the pump flow rate and head requirements. Distances are as shown in feet. Head losses through the heat exchangers and chiller are shown as provided by the manufacturers. Q(gpm) Head Loss (ft) 70 Unit Chiller Heat Exchanger (a) 30 Heat Exchanger (b) 40 12...

Could you please answer these question in a manager's perspective? Give me an example of a time you managed numerous responsibilities. How did you handle that?
Could you give me an example of a proposed merger or acquisition that was blocked by regulators; or a business that was broken up by regulators. Cite news stories, agency white papers, or news releases, and then can you explain how the regulators applied the law to the facts to reach their conclusion.
A pump transports water from Tank 1 to Tank 2 through a constant-diameter piping system as shown below (not to scale). The flow rate is controlled by two gate valves, the gate valve I controls the main pipeline, while the gate valve II controls the loop line from T-joint A to T-joint B. All pipes are galvanized steel pipe of diameter D = 4 in. It has a total length of Li2= 620 ft from tank 1 to tank 2....
Could you give me an daily life example of transformation of random variables both discrete and continuous?
Give an example of a research hypothesis that you could test. Then, describe how you could test this hypothesis using a correlation study. Last, turn your correlation study into an experimental design. Be clear about how the correlation study is different from the experimental design.
Problem 5: The 28-in-diameter pump in the Figure at 1170 r/min is used to pump water at 20°C through a piping system at 14,000 gal/min. (a) Determine the required brake horsepower. The average friction factor is 0.018. (b) If there is 65 ft of 12-in-diameter pipe upstream of the pump, how far below the surface should the pump inlet be placed to avoid cavitation? Given that the water at 20 °C has a specific weight of 62.4 lbf/ft and vapor...
