A centrifugal pump is to be used to pump water from a lake to a storage tank that is 148 ft above the surface of the lake. The pumping rate is to be 25.0 gal/min, and the water temperature is 60°F. The pump on hand can develop a pressure of 50.0 psig when it is pumping at a rate of 25.0 gal/min. (Neglect pipe friction, kinetic energy effects, and factors involving pump efficiency.)
a. How high (in feet) can the pump raise the water at this flow rate and temperature?
b. Is this pump suitable for the intended service?
